Dental caries is also what people normally call dental caries, tooth decay, is a common oral disease, but also one of the most common diseases of human beings, is the common cause of tooth extraction. Dental caries do not need to be extracted, depending on the degree of tooth damage. When caries is still in the early stage, caries area is small, can be directly filled, this time the treatment is simple and economical; If the tooth decay is further developed, the area of caries is large, and the dental nerve has been involved, the affected tooth can be preserved by root canal treatment. In both cases, there is no need for tooth extraction. If the disease develops to the late stage, the area of caries is too large, the remaining tooth tissue is too small, and even the crown has been completely destroyed and disappeared. It cannot be repaired. At this time, only tooth extraction can be done, and later implants can be repaired. Therefore, dental caries must be treated as soon as possible, early treatment, reduce the possibility of tooth extraction caused by dental caries.
