Can third degree caries be filled?

When the teeth are intact without damage or gaps, you will not feel any tenderness. However, when the teeth begin to ulcerate and eventually form a hole, you will often have toothaches and may even have red and swollen gums. Tooth decay has reached a very serious stage and requires treatment.

method

If the surface of your teeth is black, but you don’t feel any soreness or pain at all, it means that you have mild tooth decay and the teeth have not yet decayed to the roots. Then you must go to the dentist as soon as possible to repair it. If you don’t treat your teeth in time, they will get worse and worse, and the cost of treatment will increase a lot, and the treatment will be more painful.

The tooth has rotted to the root because it was not repaired in time. I can't chew anything with this tooth. It hurts when I touch it. I can't touch it with either cold or hot water. This is what is commonly referred to as a "leaky nerve". At this time, ordinary fillings are no longer useful, and only root canal treatment can be performed (very few people will choose to extract the teeth and implant them. Because no matter how rotten the teeth are, they are still their own, and they can be repaired if possible, and dental implants are super expensive.)

Root canal treatment is generally divided into the following major steps :

First, anesthesia is needed, because the next step is to deal with nerves, and it must be painless, otherwise it will not be treatment but torture.

Open the pulp and remove the upper part of the tooth to fully expose the pulp. In this process, the dirt in the tooth cavity is also removed.

Smooth needle + pulp extraction needle. After the hole is drilled, the needle is used to detect the internal channel. Then the pulp extraction needle with barbs is inserted into the root canal and rotated clockwise until the pulp is extracted.

After pulp extraction, X-rays can be directly used to observe whether the pulp has been completely removed, and the condition of the alveolar bone can be observed at any time.

And whether there is still a need for further improvement in surgical root canal

Finally, cotton is inserted and medicine is placed, and the operation is cleaned and disinfected. This is the end of the first operation. Follow the doctor's advice and you will need a follow-up visit in 2 to 4 days.

You will have toothache three hours after the operation. If you can't stand it, you can take painkillers. If the gums are swollen and pus is present, you need to go to the dentist for treatment in time. It may be inflammation. You need to drain the gums, drill holes, drain the pus, and relieve the patient's pain.

During the follow-up visit, cotton plugs and medicine will be used twice to strengthen teeth cleaning. Therefore, in order to prevent the infected tooth from getting infected, it is best to chew with the other good tooth. It is okay to chew slowly. After the meal, remember to use mouthwash to clean the oral environment.

The last step is to put on the crown, fill the hole, and then seal it with a medical adhesive crown. After the root canal is completed, it is best to wear a brace if possible, so that the tooth will last longer and will not be prone to cracking.
