-Toothache can be due to many reasons. The most common of these is dental caries. Tooth decay occurs as a result of caries-causing microorganisms. In the early stages of caries, the tooth begins to overreact to cold and heat. While this reaction takes seconds at first, it increases to minutes as time passes. After a while, the toothache will never go away.
– While it is sufficient to make a small filling in the first period of toothache, the size of the required filling increases in the future. This reduces the success rate of filling treatment. As time progresses, it is not enough to just fill the tooth. Root canal treatment is necessary because caries-causing microorganisms also reach the root of the tooth. This is a more costly and sensitive process than filling. For these reasons, patients should have their fillings done as soon as possible during the filling phase.
-Small screws, called posts, are placed on the teeth that have lost a lot of material after the root canal treatment process. A porcelain or zirconium crown is then applied to the tooth. This means that it is the tooth’s last chance. Because in general, after this stage, if the patient does not take good care of his tooth, the tooth may need to be extracted.
