Does a cavity that doesn't hurt need to be filled? Not only to make up, but also to pay attention to these problems!
Many people find that there are black lines or cavities on the surface of their teeth, but they don't hurt, so they choose to ignore it,
holding the idea of "just fill the teeth when it hurts". In fact, this kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable!
As the saying goes, "If you don't fill a small hole, you will suffer if you have a big hole." The occurrence of black lines indicates that the tooth has been decayed. At this time, the tooth should be filled in time to ensure the safety of the pulp. If the filling is not timely, root canal treatment may be necessary when the bacteria destroy the pulp, which is not worth the candle.
What is the specific process of filling teeth? What are the steps to filling teeth?
DENTAL FILLING is when the tooth part is carious or fractured, the doctor replaces the damaged part of the tooth with a filling. At present, the more commonly used fillings on the market are composite resin, silver amalgam, glass ionomer cement, etc. In order to prevent the patient from feeling uncomfortable during the treatment, the doctor will perform local anesthesia on the gums, then remove the carious part of the tooth, and prepare a certain type of cavity to make the filling firm.
Precautions:
If the local anesthesia has not disappeared after filling the teeth, be careful not to bite your tongue or lips;
Finishing the tooth filling does not mean that you are done. During the recovery period, you must follow the doctor's
advice to ensure the effect of the tooth filling;
It is normal to experience mild pain after fillings. If the pain persists for too long, you need to take anti-inflammatory
drugs or seek medical treatment in time.
