Tooth decay penetrates to the nerve cavity, and the root of the tooth should be extracted or treated.

Tooth decay through the nerve cavity, should it be extracted or treated at the root canal?

Tooth decay is a late-stage symptom of tooth decay that occurs when the tooth is severely decayed. If it is not cleaned properly, it will be a reservoir of bacteria that will continue to destroy the tooth tissue until the tooth decays through the nerve cavity. The treatment method will evaluate the condition of the tooth damage and whether the tooth should be extracted or retained to preserve the root of the tooth.

The dentist will first assess the condition of the damaged tooth and then recommend the most suitable treatment for the patient.

1. Fillings This method is suitable for early tooth decay, but if the dentist assesses that the tooth is still strong enough after the tooth is restored, the infected tissue may be removed, treated, and then the filling process
   may be started.
2. Root treatment If the decayed tooth can still be kept, it is recommended to keep it because natural teeth feel and absorb occlusion better than dentures. In the root canal treatment process, the tooth cavity is opened to remove the tooth decay and tissue in the inflamed tooth. Put antiseptic and plug the root canal. In case of low dentinity, dental spurs must be inserted to increase the strength of the teeth first, followed by crowns to make our teeth stronger and last longer.
3. Tooth extraction When there is so little tooth tissue left that it cannot be crowned, including cases of severe gum disease. It is necessary to remove the tooth and replace it with various methods such as braces. Wearing dentures or dental implants

All of these are guidelines for treating tooth decay through to the nerve cavity. Patients need to undergo a thorough evaluation and then plan their treatment with a dentist based on many factors to get the most appropriate and cost-effective treatment.
