Whether wisdom tooth decay is extracted or filled, it turns out that it needs to be treated in this way

After tooth decay, many patients feel that they will be fine if they take some anti-inflammatory drugs and stop hurting. In fact, it is not the case that tooth decay is extremely harmful, and it can be cured by anti-inflammatory drugs, wisdom tooth decay with apical periodontitis, and the initial diagnosis recommends retaining the affected tooth, and pulp inactivation, after the follow-up, other doctors recommend extraction.

1. Whether the tooth is repaired or extracted

Experts said that it is generally determined according to the lesion of the tooth, and it is generally necessary to make up for what can be made, and if it can not be extracted, it is recommended to remove it. It is better to determine whether it is better to fill or extract the tooth according to the severity of the tooth decay, because if the caries is not too serious, we still recommend to retain the natural teeth to the greatest extent, and take different methods to treat the tooth according to the degree of caries.

For caries that has injured the pulp, root canal treatment is required to remove the infected substances in the pulp cavity and root canal, and then make porcelain teeth to maintain them. However, for more serious caries, it is better to fill or extract, that is, the decay of the tooth has spread to the pulp or tooth root, and the tooth that cannot be preserved through root canal treatment, then blindly retaining the affected tooth will only make the decay spread to the adjacent tooth, and in severe cases, it will even cause systemic diseases.

2. How to treat insect teeth

Drug treatment is a method of applying drugs to inhibit the development of caries on the basis of grinding caries, which is suitable for superficial caries of permanent teeth and superficial and middle cavities of deciduous anterior teeth. Commonly used drugs include ammonia, silver nitrate, and sodium fluoride, among others.

Amalgam filling. For teeth that have formed substantial defects, filling is the most widely used and effective method at present, and its basic process can be divided into two steps: first remove the decayed tissue and the weak tooth tissue that has lost support, and make the cavity into a reasonable shape according to certain requirements.It is then filled with a filling material to restore its intrinsic form and function. It is suitable for filling the anterior cavities of the back teeth and hidden areas.

3. Wisdom teeth are decayed and do not bite are recommended to be extracted

For wisdom tooth decay with apical periodontitis, it is recommended to preserve the affected tooth at the initial diagnosis, and pulp inactivation is performed after the follow-up consultation, and other doctors recommend extraction. Now it should be noted that wisdom teeth, as long as there is no orthodox and no occlusal relationship, then it is recommended to be removed.

Because there is no occlusal relationship, there is no chewing function, and it belongs to waste teeth. Wisdom teeth, on the other hand, are not easy to grow and form food impaction with adjacent teeth, resulting in caries of the two teeth. Wisdom teeth are distal and are not easy to clean and are prone to caries. In addition, deep blind pockets of wisdom teeth (especially in the lower jaw) are prone to cause pericoronitis, which is painful and inflamed repeatedly.
