Do decayed teeth have to be extracted?

Most people have some dental diseases. Even if they pay great attention to their oral hygiene, the mouth comes into contact with many things, so many things can cause damage to the teeth. Severe dental disease is usually caused by tooth decay, and decayed teeth will affect a person's normal chewing function when chewing. So, do decayed teeth have to be extracted?

1. Do decayed teeth need to be extracted?

If wisdom teeth have cavities, except for very simple cavities on the occlusal surface that are not deep, which can be filled, those cavities on the adjacent surfaces require very good technology, as well as those that are very deep and even require root canal treatment, it is recommended to remove them to prevent future troubles.

2. Why do you need to have porcelain teeth after root canal treatment?

1. Teeth chewing needs

Root canal treatment is the use of drugs and instruments to remove and disinfect the debris and bacteria in the root canal as much as possible. However, this requires the removal of a number of teeth infected by bacteria and part of the tooth tissue. Therefore, once most teeth undergo root canal treatment, they may lack chewing strength and easily break. It is impossible to restore their function using materials alone, and even if they can be restored, the long-term effect will not be good.

2. The hardness of teeth needs

Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment lose the nutritional supply from the dental pulp, just like a tree that has lost its roots, slowly withering and becoming very fragile. The teeth may become brittle when the patient eats hard food, and the patient may mistakenly believe that it is caused by the root canal treatment.

3. Tooth tissue needs

Because the teeth that need root canal treatment are generally already caries (cavities) and have large defects, although the root canal treatment is completed at this time, the remaining tooth tissue is very fragile and very easy to break and crack, losing its normal function, and it is impossible to restore the function with materials alone. Making a crown, inlay or filling can effectively protect it and ensure normal use in the future.
