Why does a tooth become infected?
Tooth infection is a serious problem that must be treated urgently. The process is often accompanied by tooth decay. When teeth are not cleaned effectively, bacteria begin to cause damage throughout the mouth and accumulate in the form of plaque.
To reduce tartar, it is important to see your dentist for a thorough dental cleaning. In this way, you can prevent infectious conditions from developing.
The causes responsible for an infected tooth
Caries
Tooth decay is caused by bacteria that have not been successfully removed. Over time this can lead to infection. This problem can be reversed by using dental fillings. However, if the decay is too deep, root canal treatment is necessary.
Oral trauma
Teeth can become infected by a simple blow to the mouth. Oral trauma is responsible for this type of injury in many cases. A crack can make it easier for bacteria to penetrate the tooth and an infectious process can develop. In the event of these problems, it is necessary to carry out a complete oral check-up.
Periodontal problems
Gingivitis as well as periodontitis can lead to bacterial infections. It is vitally important to carry out periodontal treatment in these cases, as these infections must be eliminated as soon as possible to protect the teeth and gums
Quality Dent professionals in periodontics and extractions
At Quality Dent we work through prevention to stop and cure dental caries in any of its phases. Therefore, we can prevent the destruction of dental tissue. Caries can affect the structure and cause serious infections.
We perform filling or obturation procedures whereby the tooth is restored by placing an aesthetic composite resin material in the cavity after the decay has been removed. In the event that the decay affects several sides of the tooth, a reconstruction process is necessary.
We also perform treatments such as endodontics whereby the damaged pulp of a tooth is removed after an infection. This removed material is then filled and sealed with special materials to prevent future infections.
At QualityDent , we take care of your smile. We have an expert team that offers top quality results.
