What should I do if my big tooth is broken and rotten

Many people like to eat sweets, especially children. They often eat sweets and do not pay attention to hygiene. They do not develop a good habit of brushing their teeth before going to bed. Over time, they will develop tooth decay. Severe teeth will become seriously damaged and rotten. They will feel very uncomfortable when eating, often with food stuck in their teeth and pain. What should you do if this happens? Do you need to extract the teeth? Here I would like to remind everyone that if your teeth have such a phenomenon, the most important thing is to see a dentist in time. If you find cavities, you should fill them in time. Also, do not eat foods that are easy to cause inflammation, such as fried foods and spicy foods. The most important thing is to develop a good habit of brushing your teeth.

What to do if the tooth is empty?

1. Be sure to see a dentist. If a tooth is decayed and is not filled, the entire tooth may be lost. It will not be cost-effective to implant a tooth at that time. So always pay attention to your teeth and fill them as soon as you find cavities. Because tooth decay will affect the stability of other teeth, just like if there is a gap in your wall, it will collapse sooner or later.

2. Try not to eat foods that can easily cause inflammation, such as fried foods, and don't eat too many desserts and spicy foods. Because these things can easily cause heat in your body and cause toothache. Toothache is the most uncomfortable thing, so try to avoid it if you can.

3. Develop good habits. Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed at night. You can drink something or rinsing your mouth after meals. If you have the habit of taking a nap, try to brush your teeth as much as possible. If you can't do it, you can rinsing your mouth or chewing gum.

4. The method of brushing teeth also requires some particularities. The correct way to brush your teeth is to brush vertically instead of horizontally. Do not brush too hard. Just brush gently for about 2 minutes.

Depth of tooth decay and treatment methods:

Only a little bit of rot: Generally there are subjective symptoms, and no obvious reaction to hot, cold, sour or sweet stimuli. There are chalky or yellowish brown spots, and the rotten teeth in the pits and fissures are black in color. When checking with a probe, there is a rough feeling or the tip of the probe can be hooked. In a case like this, you just need to go to the dentist, grind off the discolored part, pad it with calcium hydroxide, and then fill it with resin.

1/3 rotten: sensitive to sour and sweet stimuli, especially cold stimuli, the soreness is obvious, the pain is triggered, and it is yellowish brown or dark brown. In this case, the dentin has reached and is close to the pulp. Go and check whether the tooth can be filled. If it is serious, you may need a root canal and then a filling.

More than half of the tooth is rotten: there is obvious pain and a noticeable odor. In this case, the dentin inside the tooth has been almost completely damaged, and only the harder enamel remains. After cleaning it, check whether the tooth root is still strong and can withstand biting. If the empty shell left at the root of the tooth is acceptable, root canal treatment will be performed, followed by filling, post driving, and finally porcelain tooth placement. If the tooth root is no longer viable, just extract it and consider dental implants after the wound has healed.

Only a residual crown is left: If there is no crown above the gums, you can only extract the tooth root. It is not recommended to build a bridge with piles. It is better to extract the tooth root and do dental implants.
