Can Cavities Be Treated? How to Cure Them?
Cavities clinically refer to dental caries. Dental caries can usually be completely treated through medication, filling treatment, and endodontic treatment, achieving a radical cure effect.
Medication: Dental caries may be caused by factors such as poor oral hygiene or a high-sugar diet, which can easily damage the hard tissue of the teeth, leading to dental caries, with pain triggered by acid, sweet, cold, and hot stimuli. If the patient only has black spots on the tooth surface without obvious caries, medication can be used. Fluoride sodium glycerin paste, fluoride tin solution, silver diammine fluoride preparations, and other dental treatments can be selected to stop the progression of dental caries.
Filling Treatment: The substantive defects in tooth tissue caused by dental caries cannot recover by themselves, so filling treatment can also be selected. The caries tissue needs to be removed surgically, and materials such as composite resin, amalgam, glass ionomer cement, etc., can be used for filling to restore the shape and function of the teeth.
Endodontic Treatment: If the patient has large dental caries that damage the dental nerve, endodontic treatment can be selected, which can effectively remove the pulp tissue of the caries and promote healing of the lesion.
In addition to the above common treatment methods, it generally also includes implant dentistry and other treatment methods. After general treatment, the tooth morphology and physiological functions can be restored, achieving a radical cure effect without affecting normal life.
