What's the matter with pulling out decayed teeth in vain

Many people develop cavities in their mouths due to bad living habits, such as long-term smoking and drinking, failure to maintain oral hygiene, eating large amounts of sweets, and improper brushing of teeth. Tooth decay is very harmful because it will directly lead to problems with your eating. Generally speaking, for patients with mild cases, they just have cavities and can simply remove the part eroded by bacteria and then fill the tooth to repair it. For patients with severe cases, the gingival nerve is likely to be involved and the surgery will be more complicated. It is recommended that you pay more attention to oral hygiene in your daily life.

When a tooth is rotten and has cavities inside, it means that bacteria have infected and invaded the dental pulp, pulp disease has occurred, or the pulp has been completely necrotic.

If the pain from tooth decay is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment and never use any "folk remedies" on your own. Emphasize: Be sure to go to a professional and regular hospital, and don’t go to some small clinics casually.

How to treat tooth decay?

1. If there is only a defect, you can grind off the corrupted material and then fill it (fill the tooth).

2. If bacteria have infected the dental pulp, root canal treatment is required, which is to extract the nerve, and then perform filling and crown restoration.

3. Finally, if the pulp is completely necrotic and the periapical tissue is infected, root canal treatment is also required. Severe cases may require tooth extraction.

Regardless of the degree of tooth decay mentioned above, medication and surgery are required. Since medication may have adverse effects on the fetus, dental treatment is not recommended in the first three months of pregnancy. In the three months after pregnancy, the medicine may enter the breast milk and affect the breastfeeding baby, so dental treatment is not recommended.

During pregnancy, which is also the most critical period, if it is not a serious oral disease, surgical treatment is not recommended. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, the slightest carelessness may endanger the fetus.

Oral diseases during pregnancy are difficult to treat, so women must pay attention and do a detailed oral examination before preparing for pregnancy. Pay special attention to wisdom teeth, periodontal disease, tooth decay, etc., and solve oral diseases first to avoid oral diseases causing big trouble during pregnancy.

Method steps

1. Caries with relatively small cavities can be directly filled after cleaning the decayed matter. Generally, the patient will not feel any pain. Therefore, once you find tooth decay, you should see a dentist to fill it in time.

2. When the cavity is large and the decay is deep, it cannot be filled directly. It needs to be filled with backing material first, and then observed for a few days to make sure there is no problem with the dental nerve before filling it with resin.

3. If caries damages the dental nerve, filling the tooth alone will not work. Root canal treatment is required to restore the tooth. It is best to protect a tooth that has been radically cured by making a porcelain crown.

4. Too bad to be worth keeping. If the tooth does not have or has lost its function, or even hinders the function of other teeth, it is not worth keeping. Such teeth have lost their meaning in being restored and can only be extracted, which is a serious loss.
