Patient's question:
Regarding oral health emergency, my teeth have been aching recently. It seems like it might be a cavity, with a small hole drilled into the tooth by a worm. I want to ask if this is a big problem? How long does the treatment usually take? Or do I need to have it pulled out?Doctor's answer:
Toothache is a common oral disease, and the recurrence of caries is one of the common causes of toothache. After the recurrence of caries, the specific treatment method needs to be selected based on the type of caries. If small caries symptoms recur, caries repair treatment can be performed. For more severe caries, tooth extraction treatment is required. Generally, when repairing caries, it is necessary to perform multiple repair procedures to restore it.
