When should dental caries be repaired?

Health tips: dental caries should be repaired as soon as possible, because the caries cavity after appropriate repair, can prevent the development of dental caries lesions, restore tooth function, maintain complete dentition. Therefore, repair has very important physiological significance.

Dental caries is a chronic process, which can constantly change its appearance, shape and quality. Its performance is closely related to the degree of caries and the choice of treatment.

(1) The chalky change of teeth is the manifestation of enamel caries.

(2) Food impaction is a sign of caries formation or deep caries.

(3) It is sensitive to cold, hot, sour and sweet food stimulation, indicating that caries has reached the dentin layer.

(4) Dental pain caused by impaction or stimulation indicates that the caries is close to the pulp, that is, the cavity bottom is weak.

In the first of the four caries manifestations, timely repair can control the development of caries and stop the caries in enamel caries degree. But the first manifestation has no subjective symptoms and is not easy to find out. If the chalky color of teeth is found in the physical examination of the unit, it should be filled as soon as possible. The second manifestation is often the reason for seeing a doctor, because after the impaction, causes the tooth discomfort, at this time the pulp tissue is generally not affected, caries filling is more appropriate. The third and fourth manifestations of dental caries are more serious. The structural changes of pulp tissue may occur due to stimulation. It is relatively late for caries repair. The problem after filling is pulp discomfort.
