What about tooth decay?

For the cavities that have formed, you must go to the dentist immediately, so that the dentist can take timely measures to fill the cavities and prevent them from getting worse. There must be no concept of "wait and forget". The view that "toothache is not a disease" is not only wrong, but also will delay the treatment, leading to the deterioration of tooth decay, tooth necrosis and possibly more tooth decay. If the pain really reaches the stage, sometimes even the dentist will suffer. The big hole suffers. After suffering from tooth decay, you need to use high-quality fluoride toothpaste. As the saying goes, "It's never too late to mend". Because high-quality fluoride toothpaste, such as Crest's fluoride tooth paste, can use fluoride ions to enter the tooth surface and form a protective layer to help resist the erosion of acidic substances, thus helping to prevent the deterioration of tooth decay. On the other hand, this fluoride ion can act on other teeth. For some potential dental caries, that is, small dental caries, it can promote the remineralization of teeth, repair these early small dental caries and avoid the further development and formation of dental caries.

1. When you have a toothache, you can cut a small piece of ginger and bite it on the sore spot. It can be reused if necessary. It doesn't hurt to put it in your mouth when you sleep.

2. Bite the toothache with honey, and it will be cured in a few minutes, and it will also make your mouth full of fragrance.

3. Pick a little Yunnan Baiyao with a toothpick and add a drop of boiling water to make a paste, then dip it in Yunnan Baiyao paste and stuff it into the toothache. Usually it will stop the pain after 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Aloe: Cut the aloe into small pieces, peel it, and put the pulp containing viscous liquid on the painful part for 2-2 hours to relieve itself.

5. Ice compress: Just like treating bruises, ice compress on the cheeks can relieve the pain when you have a toothache. Apply 15 minutes each time, at least 3 ~ 4 times a day.

6. Liushen Pill 1 2 pills, crushed and placed on the gum of the affected tooth for 5 to 10 minutes, once a day, usually no more than 3 times.

Suggestion:

Early stage of tooth decay: the initial tooth decay occurs in the enamel of teeth, and there is no pain. The surface of teeth is usually intact and there is no hole visible to the naked eye. Dental cavities in adjacent areas of teeth are more difficult to detect. Sometimes x-rays are needed to confirm.

Treatment: Dentists can apply high-concentration fluoride to the part with initial tooth decay, so that the initial decayed part can be restored.

Tooth decay spreads to ivory: teeth have tooth decay, which hurts when eating.

Treatment: the decayed tooth is not big, and the tooth is filled when it is still strong.

If the scope of decay becomes extensive and the teeth are already fragile, artificial crowns should be implanted.

Tooth decay spreads to the pulp: there are obvious cavities in the teeth, causing severe pain. Dental pulp may be infected by bacteria and die, and bacteria may even spread from dental pulp to nearby periodontal tissue through the root part, causing inflammation or abscess.

Treatment: root canal therapy (root of tooth), and artificial crown will be inserted if necessary.

If the dentist thinks that endodontic treatment is not suitable, the tooth will be extracted.

Tooth decay is called dental caries in medicine. It is formed by Streptococcus mutans adhering to dental plaque, fermenting sugar and starch in food to produce acid, and gradually demineralizing teeth. Therefore, to prevent dental caries, we must start with removing dental plaque, reducing sugar intake and improving the acid resistance of teeth.
