From shallow caries to tooth extraction, how do teeth fall out step by step?

The first stage

Shallow caries

When there are small black spots on our teeth, you don't care and say: It's okay, I don't feel it.

Caries is a disease of chronic progressive destruction of tooth hard tissue caused by bacteria-based multi-factors. Superficial caries, i.e. enamel caries, have started and require medication or fillings.

The second stage

Medium caries

When you eat sugar and feel sore, you say: It's okay, it's not sore.

At this time, the lesions have been destroyed to the superficial layer of the dentin, and the teeth have already formed cavities. They are sensitive to sweet and sour foods, and filling treatment is required.

The third stage

Deep caries

When you eat and can't bite the food you say: It's ok, you can bite with the other tooth.

The lesion has destroyed the deep layer of the dentin, and the tooth has a deep cavity. Temperature stimulation, chemical stimulation, and food entering the cavity will cause pain. At this time, if the filling treatment is done in time, there is still time to preserve the dental pulp.

The fourth stage

Caries in acute pulpitis

When you stayed up all night last night and your tooth hurt so much that it hit the wall, you said: take a painkiller and bear with it.

When the lesion invades the pulp tissue, an inflammatory exudate is produced, resulting in high pressure in the pulp cavity and causing severe pain. At this time, open pulp drainage is the most effective way to relieve the pain of acute pulpitis.

The fifth stage

Acute apical periodontitis

When your face is too swollen to keep your eyes open

You said: It's no big deal, just take anti-inflammatory drugs.

Acute apical periodontitis infection of teeth may cause space infection, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. At this time, it is necessary to go to a regular stomatological hospital for treatment of the affected tooth, cooperate with drug treatment, and perform abscess incision and drainage if necessary.

The sixth stage

The last thing to do is to extract the tooth

When the dentist tells you that the tooth must be extracted, you cry: What can I do if the tooth is gone?

Don’t be afraid! Dentures can be placed in 3 months. Currently, there are three restoration methods: dental implants, removable dentures, and porcelain bridges, which can fully meet your different needs
