Dental Nerve Treatment Process

The treatment process of dental nerve can be painful, and it is necessary to properly treat the inflammation at the root of the tooth and perform regular root canal treatment. Before filling the tooth, it is necessary to take radiographs of the tooth to understand the fracture and necrosis of the tooth. Therefore, during regular tooth filling, tooth fractures are generally caused by dental caries or external forces. Preparation work needs to be done before filling the tooth. So, do we need to kill the dental nerve when filling the tooth? Let's take a look below.

1. Low degree of dental caries and decay: It is necessary to kill the dental nerve, depending on the degree of dental caries and decay, and judging based on the vitality of the dental pulp. Once the decay has reached the nerve area, the patient may experience toothache symptoms. If the dental nerve has formed an infection, this process is irreversible, and the dental nerve must be eliminated. If tooth filling is forcibly performed, it will cause bacteria to infect and ferment inside the tooth, causing secondary corrosion to the root of the tooth and aggravating the patient's toothache condition. However, if the patient's degree of decay is not high, and there are only small cavities caused by tooth decay on the tooth, timely repair of the small cavities on the tooth is sufficient, and it is not necessary to clean up the dental nerve.

2. External force fracture of the tooth: If the strength of the patient's tooth is not high enough or there are cracks in the tooth itself, the tooth is likely to fracture under external force. In this case, timely repair of the tooth is also necessary. Usually, the dental nerve will not be injured in this situation, because most of the fractured teeth are healthy, and only the tooth needs to be repaired.

The above are two situations where it is not necessary to kill the dental nerve before tooth filling. The core is that if the dental nerve is not injured, it is not necessary to treat and deal with the dental nerve. In daily life, attention should be paid to oral hygiene to avoid tooth decay. Once it occurs, timely treatment is necessary to control the degree of tooth decay to the minimum range.
