Tooth Decay Questions

The purpose of tooth filling is to fill up any kind of cavity. So yes filling is safe even for a severely decayed tooth. But if the cavity reaches the pulp chamber the treatment modality will change, at that moment root canal treatment is done.

Hi first get an iopa x-ray of decayed teeth done if decay is deep go for RCT followed by crown and if decay in not below dentin go for composite filling

Keep your baby cavity free. Rampant caries progresses at a faster rate in children and it involves multiple teeth. It’s also called nursing bottle caries as the decay spreads due to feeding milk during the night & putting the baby or children to sleep without brushing. Hence early diagnosis and initiation of preventive and restorative therapies are imperative in its management. Rampant caries can affect the early permanent dentition if the child has improper dietary habits and poor oral hygiene ...more

First of all you have to take care of your oral hygiene. Proper brushing technique two times a day and flossing are two ways in which you can keep your teeth healthy. As for the damaged teeth, they need to be treated as the teeth and the eyes are two parts of the human body which cannot heal by themselves. You can go to visit a dentist in your nearby government hospital or dental college in case you are short of money.

Hello, mam I would be more than happy to advice you for your baby, first of all always clean the oral cavity with warm water, you can use a cotton swab, dip in lukewarm water and clean the tongue and the palate nicely after every feed. This is the best method to avoid toothdeacys.

Dear Lybrate user, as far as I know if teeth cavity are treated and filling ia done, there would be no problem.

Plz see a dentist and get the iopa done .if the caries has not reached till the tooth pulp, it can be restored with filling.

if there is no pain and tooth is erupting straight inside your mouth ..and not impacted or angulated .. you may just get a filling done to avoid any furthur damage

Hello, lybrate-user
tooth decay is something caused by many factors such as poor oral hygiene, sweet food/beverages consumption. Once tooth starts decaying it then required suitable treatment done by dentist. As you mentioned there is no pain then it must be caries that has not reached to the deeper tissue yet, that would further require different treatment. So I suggest you to visit your nearest dentist, get your x ray done and get the proper treatment done. Do let me know for any help.
