CARIES TREATMENT
Caries refers to damage to the hard parts / tissues of the tooth, as a rule, it begins with a partial lesion of the enamel, then develops into a more extensive lesion, after which it begins to destroy and passes to the hard tissues / dentin. To prevent the spread of the carious process, it is necessary to visit the dentist in a timely manner and take preventive measures. If you avoid treatment and do not take the necessary care and prevention, certain complications may occur, as well as adverse events such as tooth loss. In the dental clinic "Astra Dental Clinic", competent, qualified dental therapists will help you get rid of such a problem as caries.
Stages of caries removal
Subsequent, deeper stages of caries develop into such as: superficial, medium and deep (lesions of the dentine or cement of the tooth). With such caries, the affected part of the tooth is dissected by the doctor (removal of the affected parts of the tooth) for further processing and filling the void with the necessary filling material.
The treatment of moderate and deep caries includes the introduction of local anesthesia, and such treatment requires the competence and professionalism of a doctor, since here we are dealing with high sensitivity, for example, proximal/contact, cervical, hard-to-reach caries, and others.
The cost of caries treatment varies depending on the degree of damage and starts from $ 70.
Methods of dental caries treatment
Before starting treatment for any stage of caries, the doctor conducts an initial examination, after which he identifies the clinical picture.
The first stage is the "stain stage", which is formed by demineralization (leaching of calcium and fluoride from the enamel). The treatment of such caries is carried out using remineralization - the essence is to apply special restorative, nourishing agents to the enamel mechanically. The predicted result will be even more reliable than using remineralizing gels. After such treatment, the patient is prescribed the necessary recommendations for home care and scheduled for a routine check-up.
