Alo Doctors: Questions about cosmetic fillings (P1)
Editing the teeth between the chanting is the best?
The results and methods may vary depending on the individual's condition
1. Two front teeth are two denture-type teeth to lock the root teeth, after a period of pain and swelling in the dentition area of dentures, on the gingival side there is a small white protrusion, pressing at the sight. There is mucus yellow discharge, sometimes there is nothing. Buy pain medication and swollen, stop taking pain medicine and swollen again. Does such a long time have any consequences? Is there any treatment that does not remove the old dentures.
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. Although oral medications may stop the pain for some time, this is very unlikely for many reasons: the disease can not be completely reversed if only by medication, the disease will recur many times, and the pus in the jaw will. It grows and can cause harm to healthy teeth in the neighborhood. Not to mention buying self medication (without a prescription) will lead to drug tolerance which makes it difficult to treat later. Therefore, you should go to the dental clinic for treatment as soon as possible.
In terms of wanting to treat but not destroying the dentures that have been done, this can be done by minor surgery, but it is the doctor's decision based on a specific dental condition (closure , color ...), general health as well as oral health to get the best treatment.
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).
The results and methods may vary depending on the individual's condition
