Hello, first of all pain is not the only criteria to conclude weather a filling or a root canal is required in the tooth, Sometimes you might have pain and still the tooth require just the filling and sometimes you dont have pain but tooth will go for root canal. So X-ray is required for that tooth based on which the extent of decay can be seen if the decay have reached the centre sensitive part that is pulp it will go for root canal but if there is sound tooth structure between the decay and ...more

Hi Sir, I had tooth filling from 8 years. Suddenly there is a severe pain on this tooth. 1. No pain while chewing or tapping tooth. 2. But severe pain during drinking / eating hot / cold food. 3. Pain is there upto 20-30 mins after hot/cold drink/food. I had visited dentist. He checked 1st teeth 1. He checked teeth is ok and white. 2. He checked tooth feeling is also ok. 3. I informed about above severe pain and sensitivity. 4. He taped teeth but no pain there and after 3-4 days pain is gradually decreased compare to previously. 5. Then he checked with x-ray. He saw something in x-ray and told me that there is "sado"(" caries) below tooth feeling. He said he doesn't know how it reached there. He advised me for root canal. And prescribed antibiotics and painkillers. I asked home about 2nd time tooth re filling after cleaning caries. But he said it's not possible and root canal required. Nowy questions are 1. Is it possible to remove tooth filling and clean care and again do 2nd time tooth filling? 2. My pain is reduced. After taking antibiotics, will it resolve on its own? 3 how caries is present under feeling? 4. Should I do rct or wait?

yes it is called secondary caries, once you feel pain on that particular tooth,you may need to go for root canal .because once you get pain means it reaches root and even after pain subside on antibiotic it have a chances to get pain again in future. it is advisable for root canal

Hello, wisdom. Tooth extraction require home cutting and other extensive procedures which cause pain and take time to heal.
So don't worry. Take antibiotics and enzoflam as prescribed by the dentist from 3-5 days. And dolo you can take for pain as and when required.
Once a week is over and you still feel like taking medicine for the pain visit your dentist once.
Also start lukewarm water and salt rinses 3-4 times in a day.
Thanks.

Composite has advantage over gic of being strong, more esthetic material. For mixed dentition choice between gic or composite based on many factors. Usually gic do well. For adults the choice of material is composite in most of the cases.

If it is just composite layering without gross tooth preparation, your dentist can remove it for you. You can go for laminates instead ,after your dentist shows you a mock wax up on a model so that you can express your likes and dislikes regarding the outcome ,and get the final laminates after necessary modifications. Laminates will provide superior esthetic results with minimal tooth preparation.

First of all, you need to fill up those cavities in your teeth before undergoing any treatment for braces because if you don't, then it will complicate your orthodontic or braces phase of treatment in later stages.
Please consult an orthodontist for detailed information regarding your treatment.
