Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, requires treatment of the eroded tooth in order to effectively relieve pain, and commonly used treatments include fillings and extractions.
1. Filling treatment: When tooth decay occurs, once eating hot or cold stimulating food or food embedded in the cavity, it will cause toothache. At this time, it is necessary to get rid of the decayed tooth tissue, and then fill the cavity with artificial materials. This will not only stop the pain effectively, but also help to restore the function and shape of the tooth. If the cavity is too large and the pulp is damaged, root canal treatment can be used to remove the pulp and then fill the cavity.
2. Extraction: If the decay affects the permanent teeth or the cavity is too large and damages the deeper part of the tooth, then there is no need to keep the damaged tooth, and you can choose to directly extract the eroded carious tooth.
Children with tooth decay and toothache need to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
