Why does a tooth have a rotten hole and hurt?

Normal and healthy teeth should be intact and without holes. However, in daily life, if the dental care is not adequate, holes may appear in the teeth. This is related to the cause of caries. Failure to pay attention to oral hygiene will often lead to the breeding of bacteria. Over a long period of time, the tooth surface will be invaded by bacteria, thus inducing caries. It will also cause nerve sensitivity and cause pain.

Causes of tooth decay pain

Experts from plastic surgery hospitals point out that the pain caused by holes in teeth is mainly due to the fact that after the teeth are decayed, the enamel is exposed to the outside and is more sensitive to external stimuli. When encountering excessive heat or cold, soreness and pain will occur. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up in time, and then receive timely treatment according to the condition of the caries lesions. Generally, the corresponding pain will disappear automatically after the caries are treated. If caries does not damage the pulp, timely filling can be performed to prevent further development of caries; however, if caries damages the pulp, root canal treatment is required to remove the diseased tissue, and then filling can be performed to restore the shape and function of the tooth.

What should I pay attention to when filling a tooth?

Any tooth tissue defect caused by caries, wedge-shaped defects, trauma, etc. needs to be repaired to restore its appearance and function. Among them, fillings are generally more suitable for shallow caries and teeth with not too severe surface damage. If it is deep caries or multi-surface caries, the effect of fillings will be relatively poor. In this case, doctors generally recommend patients to use porcelain teeth for repair. It is very important to treat caries early. Early treatment is not only effective, but also can control the development of caries in time.

You must choose a regular dental hospital to have your teeth filled. Irregular fillings are very harmful: unexplained pain and numbness in the tongue, cheeks and other parts; unexplained white or red patches on the oral mucosa; unexplained pain in the teeth, rapid loosening and falling out; the appearance of new growths in the oral and maxillofacial area, with a granular and cauliflower-like surface, or early ulceration and pain; and if the filling is not done properly, it may also lay the fuse for "oral cancer".

What should I do if I have a painful hole in my tooth? Toothache is very uncomfortable, and I believe that anyone who has tried it knows it all too well. Therefore, it is recommended that patients repair them in a timely manner if they find holes in their teeth. At the same time, we would like to remind everyone that the effects of fillings will vary depending on the materials used. It is best to ask clearly about the materials used before filling a tooth.
