Answer: According to the description, these two teeth have not been treated or treated but not satisfactory, resulting in complications of infection, forming a pus in the root of the tooth roots.

2. I go to fillings, doctors often polish the teeth after filling. Is polishing necessary?

Answer: Polishing should be done for the following reasons:

- Reduces the roughness of the contact between the teeth and fillings, as well as makes cleaning easier.

- Reduces the chance of recurrence.

- Prevent dullness and increase the gloss of the seal to make it feel more comfortable.

Thus, it takes more time, but polishing pads are necessary.
Depending on the filling material, the polishing is done immediately (for composite filling) or after 24 - 48 hours (for amalgam filling).
