What should I do if there is a hole in my teeth? Of course, tooth filling! But when it comes to tooth fillings, the first thing that comes to mind is - drilling teeth! Let’s not talk about how terrifying it is for most people. Many people first have to question whether there is any need to drill teeth? Why do you need to drill such a large hole in the needle to repair it? Is it to charge more money?
First of all, we need to make clear one thing. Tooth filling is not charged according to the area of the tooth hole, but according to the number of bad teeth. Even if there are multiple holes on a tooth, there will be no additional charge, so the cost of filling a tooth has nothing to do with the area of the tooth hole! So why do we have to repair the seemingly small teeth holes after being ground up?
has a word called "a different world". In fact, caries often appear in triangles with small mouths and large bottoms. The caries of the needle-sized cavities seen by the naked eye may be just a vertex of the triangle. That is to say, sometimes the naked eye feels that the holes the size of a needle may actually be broken, so the doctor must open the holes and remove the broken tissue inside before the teeth are filled.
If you simply fill the holes on the outside of the tooth directly and do not deal with the infected tissue in time, then the outer surface of the tooth will look perfect, and the lesion will continue to develop, the holes will become larger and larger until the pulp cavity is infected, or even reach the apex of the tooth root, completely destroying a tooth.
Warm reminder: If you don’t want to get drilled, it is the key to prevent caries , develop good oral hygiene habits, do regular oral examinations, and use floss correctly to avoid long-term food impaction. If you unfortunately suffer from tooth decay, do not delay and must be diagnosed and treated early.
