Dentist talks about ways to extend the life of a filling
With proper care, a dental filling can last a long time.
Dentist-therapist Sesegma Tsybenova told what actions will help to delay the moment when a new filling will be required.
The work of the doctor plays an important role. If he followed all the treatment protocols, then everything depends on the person himself, reports " FederalPress ".
High-quality dental care, regular preventive examinations, and professional hygiene are necessary.
Taking all these factors into account, the filling will last quite a long time, the doctor emphasized.
If any of these points are violated, this significantly reduces the service life of the filling. All because caries can form under it or around it.
In this case, it is not recommended to delay. It is better to stop the carious process at the very beginning than when it reaches the nerves.
At the initial stages of the problem, dentists clean the tissue, treat the tooth, and install a filling.
If the damage has progressed further, then depulpation is required, i.e. removal of the inflamed pulp, which consists of nerve endings and blood vessels.
