How should tooth decay be treated?

Nowadays, dental problems are troubling more and more people, and the most common dental problem is tooth decay. Many children are also prone to tooth decay. Therefore, we must pay attention to the problem of tooth decay. Once tooth decay occurs, it needs to be treated and repaired in time, otherwise the harm will be very great. So, how should tooth decay be treated?

1 When you have a toothache, you can cut a small piece of ginger and bite it on the painful area. You can reuse it when necessary, and it is also okay to hold it in your mouth when you sleep.

2. Crush 1 to 2 Liushen Pills and place them on the gums of the affected teeth for 5 to 10 minutes, once a day, usually not more than 3 times.

3. Apply honey to the area where the tooth hurts. It will be healed in a few minutes and will also leave your mouth with a fragrant smell.

4. Apply ice: Just like treating a bruise, applying ice to the cheek where the toothache is located can relieve pain. Apply for 15 minutes each time, at least 3 to 4 times a day.

5 Use a toothpick to pick up a little Yunnan Baiyao and add a drop of boiling water to make it into a paste. Then dip the toothpick in the Yunnan Baiyao paste and put it into the aching tooth. Generally, the pain will stop after 3 to 5 minutes.

Repair of different types of tooth decay

(1) Chalky discoloration of teeth is a sign of enamel caries.

(2) Food impaction is a sign of the formation of dental cavities or deeper cavities.

(3) Sensitivity to cold, hot, sour, sweet and other food stimuli indicates that caries has reached the dentin layer.

(4) Toothache caused by impaction or irritation indicates that the caries is close to the pulp, which means that the bottom of the cavity is weak.

Root canal therapy: Use special instruments for root canal therapy to completely remove the infected pulp, infected dentin and toxic decomposition products, rinse and disinfect the root canal, and finally fill the cavity to prevent bacteria from entering the root canal and caries and causing further infection.

Pit and fissure sealing method: A synthetic organic polymer resin that is harmless to the human body and can self-solidify is applied to the cross-shaped pits and fissures of the teeth. When in liquid form, the resin can penetrate into the pits and fissures on the surface of the teeth and then solidify after exposure to light.

All-ceramic tooth restoration method: This method is suitable when the degree of caries reaches the root apex, because at this time the affected tooth has been completely destroyed and there is no role to retain it. Therefore, it needs to be extracted and replaced with a full ceramic tooth.

The problem of tooth decay is very serious. If you want to prevent tooth decay, you must pay special attention to it. Brush your teeth every day, rinse your mouth or brush your teeth before and after meals to protect your children's teeth. And don't eat too much food with high sugar content, so as to keep our teeth healthy.
