A small hole in a tooth generally requires root canal treatment at the hospital's oral department, or it can be filled with appropriate materials to restore the tooth. If the damage is severe, a dental crown may be needed later.
For a small hole in a tooth, the most effective method for improvement should be chosen based on the severity and size of the hole. If the hole is not too serious, root canal treatment can be performed. This involves using a root canal to reach inside the tooth cavity, cleaning out the undesirable substances, and then filling it with composite materials, such as composite resin and glass ionomer, to repair the tooth. If the tooth damage is severe, a suitable dental crown should be made later to protect the tooth.
The formation of tooth cavities is related to poor oral hygiene. Food residue left on teeth for a long time can corrode the teeth and gradually form cavities. It is recommended to brush teeth with salt water before going to bed every night to reduce tooth damage. Dietary adjustments should also be made to avoid consuming too many stimulating foods.
