Tooth Decay Treatment
Tooth Decay Treatment
It is possible to treat tooth decay with methods such as filling or root canal treatment.
Care and protection to prevent caries formation rather than treating caries should be the main goal.
For this purpose, fluoride applications can be made on teeth at a young age.
Dentist check-ups are recommended at certain periods (usually every six months). It is necessary to give the child the habit of brushing and make sure that he brushes his teeth for at least 2 minutes each time. In this way, the look will decrease and become less.
Despite all efforts, the part of the enamel layer of the tooth that has decay is scraped and cleaned. In this way, the progression of decay is prevented.
The decayed area is cleaned by the dentist. If you do not feel pain during this cleaning with rotating tools. However, in advanced tooth decay, pain may be felt during scraping in areas close to the pulp chamber. Local anesthesia will be sufficient to prevent pain.
Tooth Decay is classified according to its depth.
E1 Incipient tooth decay
E2 The advanced stage of decay, from the level of enamel to the level of decay approaching the dentin level of the tooth.
D1 Presence of caries at the dentin level.
D2 is the stage of tooth decay that has reached the lower layers of dentin but has not reached the pulp.
D3 causes advanced caries to pass into the hard tissues of the tooth and into the pupal chamber.
If the decay has progressed in the lower layers of the tooth, the life of the dental filling will be short. The sensitivity of the tooth to cold and hot increases after filling.
Dental fillings used for tooth decay
Amalgam used to be used as a dental filling material. Nowadays, aesthetic composite materials that aesthetically mimic the color of the teeth are used. You have dental fillings that are both resistant to chewing pressure and extremely long-lasting.
Another decayed tooth treatment method is inlay and onlay applications. It can be produced directly or by taking an impression of the tooth. You can have long-lasting and aesthetic teeth.
