The root canal is the root part of the hollow channel of the tooth nerve. The tooth nerve through the apical foramen into the root canal to provide nutrition to the teeth by the jaw. Under normal circumstances the root canal is not connected with the mouth. Decay after the destruction of dental tissue, the root canal can be sorted oral interlinked to become the "main road" bacteria in the mouth into the deep tissue - the jaw, causing the apical inflammation causing pain and swelling. In order to plug the channel, the doctor is necessary to completely remove the root canal of the tooth nerve, and dental instruments clean the root canal, and finally with some of the filling material tightly filling the root canal, this course of treatment is called root canal treatment. Sometimes due to the needs of dental trauma, cracked or repair will do the root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment, largely due to severe tooth decay. Do root canal treatment of teeth due to severe tooth decay are generally a result of defects larger but not strong, root canal treatment done, do crown to protect patients often are not careful when eating biting stones, bones crack of teeth, fish bone and other hard objects occur, What causes the porcelain teeth quality problem resulting in irreversible loss of tooth.

The choice of cosmetic dental lays the crown

1. Resin veneers. Endogenous to stain, color, heavier, whitening reach the desired effect, you can use the resin veneer, about to the tooth surface is worn with a thin layer, then use the ideal color of the resin paste on the tooth surface, thereby to improve the color of teeth.

Resin veneers can be used not only to improve the color of the teeth, the shape of the teeth can also be used, including deformed teeth, anterior corner defect can also be used to close the tooth space.

2. Cast porcelain veneer. The cast porcelain veneer is worn tooth surface with a thin layer, then casting the tiles pasted on the surface of the teeth, so as to achieve improved tooth color and shape of the purpose of the indications and resin veneer. Veneer and dental instruments resin-cast porcelain veneers gloss better, translucent sense of better biocompatibility and better, more stable color.

3. Porcelain fused to metal crown (referred to as porcelain crowns). By the crown and the outer metal base attached to the porcelain of two parts. Taking into account the advantages of higher strength and beauty is an ideal prosthesis. (Due to the nickel-containing Ni-Cr porcelain crown within the crown of metal can be divided into the controversial, now basically been eliminated), cobalt-chromium crown, Gold, Platinum, porcelain crowns. When the abnormal tooth color, shape defects with veneer does not improve, you can choose the porcelain crown.

4. All-ceramic crowns. And porcelain crowns, full porcelain crown can be used to improve the teeth color and shape. The all-ceramic crown is divided into cast porcelain crowns and zirconia all-ceramic crowns. Cast porcelain crowns are more transparent than the Don't over-denture after oral hygiene zirconia crowns, more realistic, but the strength compared with oxidized zirconium all-ceramic crowns only for a little bite force. All-ceramic crowns without metal crown, the appearance has been greatly improved performance than porcelain ceramic crowns, and biocompatibility, or no metal corrosion, interference, and the NMR images of different metals in the mouth, micro-current to worry about.

Dental drill may not be terrible

A healthy tooth is the hardest tissue in the body, when tooth decay in local tissue will become soft coloring and the formation of cavities, a large number of carious tissues and bacteria.

Dental drill for two purposes, first remove the decayed tooth tissue, the other hand, will have to go net carious cavity trimmed to a certain type of hole. Hospital Dental Clinic dental drill penetration rate soon, per minute up to hundreds of thousands of rpm, and dental instruments cooling water to reduce the stimulus, a reduction of pain.

Shallow cavities in the dental drill, there will be no pain. Moderately deep cavities in the dental drill, a mild sore discomfort, then patients should take a positive and cooperative attitude, shallow caries and caries can once treatment is completed, and can get a better therapeutic effect, make up a good teeth, is still very easy to use.

Patients with acute pulpitis, the dentist will take measures How the treatment of loose teeth of anesthesia, patients will not feel pain the dental drill. Therefore, when the doctor gave you the treatment of the dental drill, to eliminate the worries and tension, actively cooperate in order to achieve faster and better treatment.

Tooth extractions bleeding after emergency measures

After tooth extraction should be prescribed by a doctor bite good the hemostasis yarn volume, about 30-1 minutes before gently spit it out. The same day or next day a small amount of blood stained saliva inner tube or saliva slightly pink, this is a normal phenomenon. If the spit saliva redness of the skin deep and even blood clots, is bleeding after tooth extraction.

Bleeding after tooth extraction bleeding within called primary extraction. You should first unit infirmary in the tooth extraction wound covered with sterile gauze, and then bite and dental instruments a half hours. If it does not work, you should go to the hospital dealt with by the dentist. If the unit infirmary, should immediately go to hospital for treatment.

Secondary tooth extraction bleeding occurred in 3 to 5 days after tooth extraction, in addition to the reasons of the primary bleeding, infection and tooth trauma. The treatment should stop the bleeding, anti-inflammatory aspects. Either bleeding, are neither with Shredded absorbent cotton to stop bleeding. This is because:

1. Cotton wool looks white, but not disinfected, many bacteria, the hands of many bacteria. Bacterial contamination of the wound, causing a wound infection, blood vessel dilatation and Dental caries can lead to pneumonia congestion will increase the bleeding, resulting in a vicious cycle.

2. Cotton soaked saliva, blood, the volume is greatly reduced, the pressure is not tightly wound, can not expect to be able to stop the bleeding.

Reset and scaling of the tooth socket after tooth extraction

After tooth extraction socket reset can help reduce the formation of blood clots and reduce the probability of bacterial infection. Reset to the expansion of the alveolar bone shrinks rapidly, the formation of cohesion of wound edge, reduced bleeding, promote clotting.

The clot can block the dental instruments invasion of oral conditions harmful pathogenic bacteria. Reset is also conducive to the stability of the alveolar bone to create a favorable condition for the future set complex. After tooth scaling can effectively remove the apical parts of the granulation and inflammatory tissue is conducive to clear the debris and alveolar bone of the tooth debris, especially when you pull and root, in order to avoid the formation of surface periodontal mucosal healing and alveolar chronic inflammation within the bone and the formation of a fistula long-term The front teeth opening and closing of Knowledge Lecture secretion of inflammatory exudation.

Four Mistakes of spring dental care

Spring we need to focus on their own dental health, the prevention of all kinds of dental diseases. But many people often carefully protect teeth into dental care misunderstanding not only less than dental care purposes, but also affect their dental health.

Dental care in the spring, the Central Standing Committee appeared in four common misconceptions, here we point out, and I hope to help all dental care.

Do not wait until dental problems before going to the hospital for examination and treatment
      
Teeth hurt and swelling does not mean our teeth is very healthy, many early signs of dental disease is no response. Suggest that you should go every six months time once a comprehensive oral examination, identify problems and timely treatment of dental instruments nipped in the bud stage.

Found that dental caries is not repaired in time

We found that the teeth appear caries should be timely to go to hospital for repair. Can not be dragged on so easy to increase the extent of dental caries rotten, affect your dental health.

Occasional bleeding gums do not be alarmed

Everyone bleeding gums, so it was not surprising for a secondary bleeding gum. If bleeding gums for a long time you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Every day, brush teeth do not need to go to the scaling

Many of my friends think that daily brushing, mouthwash can maintain dental health, and scaling will damage the tooth surface. Such thinking is wrong and daily brushing, mouthwash can only effectively remove tartar, and plaque attached to the teeth, through regular scaling can completely remove tartar and plaque, to protect everyone's dental health.
