Treatment of dental caries

Caries is the most common tooth disease. Often it leads to a deep destruction of the tooth tissue, the development of pulpitis, periodontitis. Therefore, only timely treatment will help to avoid the occurrence of the above-described problems.

Most often caries is a consequence of poor oral hygiene. The fact is that in the mouth of a person there are many microorganisms that secrete organic acids. The latter, in turn, destroy the enamel. As a result, caries are formed.

The development of harmful bacteria is promoted by excessive consumption of products saturated with sucrose. Therefore, because of a diet with a predominance of sweets, child caries often occurs. Dental treatment is a rather unpleasant procedure (especially for a child), so it is best to eliminate the causes of caries in advance. Namely - to monitor the hygiene of the oral cavity and not give the children many products with the content of sucrose.

Modern dentistry can carry out caries treatment through several methods applicable to both adults and children. This is tooth filling, ozone and laser treatment. But, despite the existence of the above methods, many people want to conduct caries treatment at home, trying with all their might to delay the visit to the dentist. However, there are simply no folk remedies to get rid of this disease. Therefore, it is better not to engage in self-treatment, but to visit dentistry, where caries treatment will be conducted by a qualified specialist for the shortest period of time.

Filling of teeth

Almost always caries treatment does not do without dental fillings. Filling allows you to return the tooth an attractive look and basic functions in the shortest possible time.

To fill teeth , composite materials are used, which very quickly solidify. Therefore, the treatment of caries in a modern dental clinic is carried out in one day.

Ozone treatment

Treatment of caries with ozone is recognized as the most painless. This technique was developed in Germany. With ozone treatment, there is no need to use anesthesia. Also, it is not necessary to drill the dental tissue and install seals.

To treat caries with ozone, a special apparatus is used. His job is to convert oxygen to ozone. Further, the produced ozone is filled with a small cap, which is fixed on the diseased tooth.

Ozone penetrates deep into the tooth tissue, while destroying the pathogenic bacteria. The dentist treats the cavity with a special strengthening substance. After this, the patient goes home and forgets about caries.

Laser treatment

Also caries can be cured by laser radiation. This procedure is absolutely painless and does not damage tooth enamel. The advantages of laser treatment can also include selective direction of the rays.

After laser treatment , the patient disappears the main signs of caries - increased sensitivity of dental tissues and their demineralization.

By the way, lasers are not only able to cure dental caries, but also to diagnose it. Before the X-ray study, lasers have two advantages - the efficiency of use and the absence of harmful radiation.
