Do you need extraction for cavities

summary

I have cavities in both the upper and lower rows of teeth. The two innermost teeth in the upper row are very serious. They were repaired once before and then fell off. Now there is only half of one. There is only a little bit of alveolar left. I'm afraid that if I continue to decay, it will affect the nerve of the tooth socket, so I want to remove it. Through the treatment, the tooth is good. Now let's share my experience with you. Do you want to extract the decayed tooth.

Do you need extraction for cavities

First: small caries can be directly repaired by cleaning up the rotten matter. Generally, patients will not feel pain. So once found that there are caries, it is necessary to find a dentist in time to fill.

Second: when the caries is deep, it can't be repaired directly. Need to use the backing material to fill, and then observe for a few days to ensure that there is no problem with the dental nerve, and then use resin to fill.

Third: teeth do not have or have lost function, or even hinder the function of other teeth, there is no value of retention. This kind of tooth has lost the significance of filling teeth and can only be pulled out. This kind of loss is serious.

I also want to emphasize: how to train children to brush their teeth correctly. Kindergarten teachers and parents should educate and guide their children to master the correct vertical brushing method, that is, brushing up and down along the growth direction of teeth to wash the food residue between teeth.
