Dental Pain?? What to do? | by Dr. Mariom Jannat Moyna | OralAid
Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities, is a common dental problem. It occurs when acids produced by bacteria in your mouth erode the enamel (outer layer) of your teeth. If left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. Treatment options include:
1. *Fillings:* Dentists can remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the cavity with materials like amalgam (silver) or composite resin (tooth-colored) to restore its shape and function.
2. *Crowns:* For more extensive damage, a dental crown may be necessary. Crowns are custom-made caps that cover and protect the entire tooth.
3. *Root Canal:* When decay reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, a root canal procedure may be needed. This involves removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth.
4. *Extraction:* If a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be saved, it may need to be extracted. Dentists can replace missing teeth with dental implants, bridges, or dentures.
5. *Preventive Measures:* The best way to deal with dental caries is prevention. This includes regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing), and a healthy diet low in sugary and acidic foods.
6. *Fluoride Treatments:* Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and can be applied topically by dentists or found in toothpaste and drinking water.
7. *Sealants:* Dentists can apply dental sealants to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay in hard-to-reach areas.
Remember that early detection and treatment are key to preventing the progression of dental caries and maintaining good oral health. Regular dental visits are crucial for catching and addressing any issues promptly.
