What is Tooth Decay?
Dental caries, defined as the destruction of tooth enamel and the outer hard surface of the teeth, affects people of all ages, large and small. Plaque, which has a sticky structure, forms on the teeth and the sugar-containing foods consumed cause the bacteria in these plaques to produce acids that damage the tooth enamel. The sticky nature of the plaque causes the acids to be in constant contact with the teeth and thus tooth decay occurs.

The treatment of decayed teeth, which has an important place in pediatric dentistry, should not be neglected. Postponed decayed tooth treatment may cause negative situations such as tooth loss. Depending on the condition of the decay, your dentist will apply the best treatment. Root canal treatment, tooth extraction are some of these methods. However, functional and aesthetic problems are prevented by applying implant treatment instead of the extracted tooth.
Symptoms of Carious Tooth
Depending on where the decay is located in the tooth, its depth or size, the symptoms may vary. The most common symptom is toothache for no particular reason. Symptoms of tooth decay include teeth being more sensitive than usual, sharp or mild pain when eating or drinking something hot, cold or sweet, holes and decay in the teeth, black and brown staining on the surface of the tooth, pain when biting food. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should make a dentist appointment as soon as possible.
How to Treat Caries?
Regular dental check-ups are necessary for successful treatment of dental caries. Tooth decay treatment varies depending on the extent of the decay. If the decay has not yet occurred, fluoride treatment is applied to restore dental health. Filling is applied in progressive decayed teeth. Crown coatings are applied to caries that is too late for filling. Root canal treatment is applied in tooth decays that damage the nerves. The last treatment method is tooth extraction.
Caries diagnosed on time are easily treated and restored to health. Caries that is too late for treatment causes tooth loss.
How to Prevent Tooth Decay?
The best treatment for tooth decay is to prevent it before it occurs. Providing the necessary oral and dental hygiene is the best method to prevent cavities. It is very important to brush your teeth at least twice a day.
In addition, minimizing the consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks prevents the formation of dental caries. Gargling and flossing are important steps that ensure oral hygiene. In addition, going to regular dental examinations ensures that the treatment of cavities that have occurred or may occur is done quickly and easily.
Things to Consider After Caries Treatment
The most important point after caries treatment is to pay attention to oral and dental care. You can speed up the healing process by following your dentist’s recommendations. You can continue to use your teeth normally for a while after the treatment of caries. Avoiding hard foods, acidic foods and drinks is of great importance for the health of your other teeth and the health of your treated teeth.
