LUCID DENTAL CLINIC
What is Tooth Decay Treatment?
Tooth decay treatment involves replacing damaged or lost teeth with artificial prosthetics to restore the tooth's functional aspect.
If a tooth remains lost for an extended period, it can affect the facial structure around it and may cause misalignment,
potentially leading to temporomandibular joint issues, making prosthetic treatment essential.
Tooth Decay Treatment, quick treatment are important.
Neglecting a missing tooth can cause adjacent teeth to shift into the space, leading to food impaction, cavities, or gum diseases.
Additionally, difficulty in chewing food properly due to missing teeth can impact digestion and cause muscular changes around the mouth, altering facial structure. It's advisable to undergo prosthetic treatment promptly.
The Progression Stages of Tooth Decay
When decay occurs, it initially appears on the outer enamel layer and progresses, causing a reaction in the dentin layer, leading to the sensation of pain. The intensity of pain varies according to the stage of decay progression.
-
STEP 01Enamel DecayAt this stage, decay affects only the outer enamel layer, often without noticeable symptoms, making it challenging to observe visually. It's commonly detected during routine check-ups and can be easily treated at a relatively low cost.
-
STEP 02Dentin DecayDecay extends into the inner dentin layer, causing sensations like pain or tooth sensitivity. Decay progresses rapidly, resulting in a hollowed tooth, potential bad breath, and sensitivity to cold air or water.
-
STEP 03PulpitisInflammation reaches the inner pulp, causing severe pain even without stimulation. Delaying treatment at this stage can increase pain, treatment duration, and cost, emphasizing the need for prompt care.
-
STEP 04NecrosisDecay reaches the nerve, causing inflammation to the root, possibly leading to the formation of pus. While saving the tooth might be possible with nerve treatment, severe cases may require extraction followed by implant procedures.
