A hole in the tooth is clinically referred to as a chipped tooth. Depending on the cause, the main treatments are filling treatment, restorative treatment, root canal treatment, and so on.
1. Filling treatment: If the hole in the tooth is due to dental caries, wedge-shaped defects, filling treatment should be taken. If the cavity involves the pulp, root canal treatment should also be carried out.
2. Restorative treatment: If the tooth loss is too big, direct filling may not be able to fix the position, or cannot completely restore the form and function of the tooth, restorative treatment can be considered, such as inlay restoration, veneer restoration, full crown restoration and so on.
3. Root canal treatment: If the cavity has entered the pulp, resulting in pulpitis, root canal treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the tooth cavity, and then give targeted treatment or treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
