Treatment of caries, pulpitis, periodontitis

These dental terms are familiar to everyone since childhood, many have to deal with them not only by hearsay. Tooth decay is a rather lengthy process, this allows us to think that we can well control it and are not in a hurry to treat teeth. Such erroneous assumptions lead to sad consequences. Caries, periodontitis, pulpitis — diseases that arise from one another. Timely dental treatment will help maintain the health and beauty of a smile.

Caries is an insidious process of destruction of tooth enamel. The protective layer is about 2-3 mm. The next layer is dentin, which is also affected. It all starts with a dark spot, which we rarely pay attention to. The middle and deep stage gives a reaction when acidic, sweet, hot and cold gets in and can already be weighed down by pulpitis. The moment when dental treatment of caries can no longer be postponed.

The main cause of the onset of the disease is poor oral hygiene. Bacteria, or rather the products of their vital functions, have a devastating effect on enamel and dentin. The best prevention of caries, as you might guess, is to observe hygiene rules and a regular visit to the dentist.

In addition to hygiene, there are a number of reasons for the appearance of caries:

• weakened immunity;
• heredity;
• unbalanced diet.

Pulpitis is an inflammatory process of the neurovascular bundle (pulp) of the tooth. As a rule, it is accompanied by pain radiating to the ear, nape or temple, depending on the location of the tooth. One of the functions of the pulp is to prevent the entry of infections into the periodontium, and it also ensures the vital activity of the tooth tissues due to the blood vessels inside it.

Therefore, the development of pulpitis is directly related to caries, it is from the carious cavity that microbes penetrate into the pulp. Timely treatment of caries will help prevent further damage to the tooth.

At this stage, the pulp completely loses its protective function. The process of inflammation reaches the tissues surrounding the tooth.

The main symptoms of periodontitis are a sharp pain in the tooth area, which is aggravated by touching it, also an increase in the temperature of the lips, cheeks, an increase in the gums, and tooth mobility. Sometimes a channel is formed on the gum, formed for the outflow of contents from the site of inflammation — a fistula. The treatment of periodontitis includes the following actions:

1. Elimination of pulp decay products.
2. Cleaning.
3. Canal filling.
