Treatment for tooth decay

Treatment for tooth decay is very possible provided it is diagnosed in the early stages, the correct treatment can save the tooth and protect it from further decay.

When tooth decay reaches the more advanced stage, tooth loss is a real possibility along with other issues that may surface.

Flouride varnish

Early diagnosis is essential, a simple solution could be the use of a simple fluoride varnish.

It could be applied to the decayed area and may be enough to stave off any further decay, a change in lifestyle.

For example less sugar or sugary drinks could also help.

One example of treatment for tooth decay is flouride varnish.

Flouride varnish has some advantages, it helps to prevent plaque forming, it strengthens the tooth enamel.

It stops the bacterial acids forming, it protects the tooth enamel from erosion caused by excess acids.

Advanced tooth decay

Advanced tooth decay means that cavities have formed, the decay needs to be removed, the remainder of the tooth will be filled with either filling or a crown.

Another issue associated with advanced tooth decay is where the inner nerves are too exposed causing severe pain.

Root canal treatment

This form of tooth decay treatment that we at Hungarian Dentists Wexford recommended is called root canal treatment.

The inner nerves and blood vessels are infected, intense pain is experienced, especially where hot or cold foods are consumed.

This is also the case with hot or cold drinks.

Root canal treatment means that the infected pulp must be removed, the area is cleaned and a replacement pulp called gutta percha is inserted.

Dental crowns

Another method of treatment for tooth decay are dental crowns, these are applicable where dental cavities are present.

The cavities can be shaven down to accommodate dental crowns, this treatment means that the affected tooth is shaped to take a crown.

A dental crown is aesthetically pleasing and it strengthens and extends the life of the decayed tooth.

Dental crowns are available at affordable prices in Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary, they are made from ceramic, porcelain, or porcelain fused to metal.

Extraction

Sadly and in some cases, we are left with no other option than extraction, as professional dentists we never want to extract teeth.

However, teeth that are severely damaged or decayed can beyond saving, we don’t want any further complications such as decay spreading to other teeth.

Extraction can be part of treatments for tooth decay, once the tooth is removed, a dental implant can take its place.

We can utilize a dental bridge to host new teeth on top of the implant.

Treatment for teeth decay is essential because the longer it is left untreated the more issues will surface sooner or later.
