What about a rotten tooth?

Dental decay requires prompt medical attention and treatment according to the degree of caries, such as filling filling materials, root canal treatment, making crowns or inlays, tooth extraction and dental implants, etc. Dental decay requires prompt medical attention and treatment according to the degree of caries. The following are some common treatment methods: 1. Shallow caries and moderate caries: A dental drill can be used to remove the decayed tissue and then fill it with a filling material, such as composite resin. This method is simple and effective, and can restore the shape and function of the tooth. 2. Deep caries: If the decay has reached the pulp, root canal treatment is needed. Root canal treatment is performed by removing the pulp and infectious materials, then filling the root canal and repairing the tooth. 3. Large tooth defects: If caries causes a lot of tooth loss, consider making a crown or inlay to restore the tooth. A crown is a restoration that covers the entire tooth, while an inlay is a restoration that is embedded inside the tooth. 4. Severe caries: If the tooth is so rotten that it cannot be retained, it may need to be extracted and implants or other restoration methods. In short, a rotten tooth requires timely medical treatment and the appropriate treatment method is selected according to the specific situation. At the same time, regular oral examinations and good oral hygiene habits are very important to prevent the occurrence of dental caries.
