Volgograd residents were given advice in case of loss of seals
The seal fell out? Don't pull - go to the dentist! Even if the tooth does not hurt, the problem does not disappear anywhere: bacteria and food residues accumulate in the open cavity - the destruction is in full swing
Why it happens: the material wears out over time, caries can return under the seal, bruxism or the habit of chewing hard interfere, and sometimes the reason is errors during installation. Another factor is severe tooth destruction: if more than 40-50% is damaged, the filling simply cannot withstand, the portal “Explain.rf” reports.
Your actions right now:
What to pay attention to: feel a hole, food is constantly stuck, the tooth reacts to hot / cold, there is an unpleasant taste, the appearance of the tooth has changed.
Don't expect pain! It occurs when the problem is already serious. Without treatment, caries quickly turns into pulpitis, then the infection goes deeper - periodontitis occurs, and in severe cases - an abscess. As a result, you can lose a tooth, and the treatment will cost more and take longer. Plus, the focus of inflammation in the oral cavity affects overall health.
