When detected shallow cavities, it is possible to do fillings as a treatment step. However, if you have a hole that has penetrated the tooth nerve, with an abscess (pus) in the jaw bone, a doctor may recommend to perform root canal treatment. In principle, the treatment is to eliminate the source of infection, shaping and cleaning the root canal, then filled with a special material, so there is no empty space and prevent the bacteria into the jaw bone.
However, perhaps because so do not hold strong tooth pain, not a few patients who want teeth removed immediately. In fact, despite the hole in the tooth has reached the roots, if there is healthy tissue, the patient does not need to undergo surgery tooth extraction. If the entire network is damaged and decayed teeth removed completely, the pain previously experienced, it will disappear instantly, so, if the tooth can still be maintained, should not be any revoked. Moreover, when the teeth that had the date was not immediately replaced. Because space on the gums over time will disrupt the balance of mastication. For example, you had to chew on one side, which will affect the jaw joint damage.
This disorder can be characterized as open and shut the sound of 'clack', 'clack' to the TMJ. If left to the jaw, can not be shut down, after the opening width, for example when it evaporates. You do not want that to happen, right? After root canal treatment is completed, there is one more step is needed, namely the manufacture of restorations (fillings or artificial crowns). Restoration is essential to restore form, function and protect teeth that have been treated in order to survive beyond the mouth.
Well, if all your dental problems are dealt with thoroughly, the next step is proper care of teeth, by brushing your teeth at least 2 times a day. After breakfast and before bed. Brush your teeth before bed is important. Therefore, there is no activity during sleep so that the process of decomposition will occur more quickly. However, there are other opinions that say, do not brush their teeth after every meal. Why?
After the meal, fermented food waste in the form of acidic compounds and make the environment acidic atmosphere around the teeth. In a few minutes earlier to increase acidity. When brushing your teeth at the time the degree of acidity in the mouth is at a critical level, it can lead to decalcification (loss of calcium salts) on the tooth enamel, which is thought to accelerate tooth decay. So, you should postpone brushing teeth immediately after eating, at least about 20-30 minutes after meals.
