Caries destroys the tooth gradually. The sooner you start, the easier and cheaper the treatment will be. Here are the signs for which a visit to the dentist is required:

• A white or dark spot on the enamel is the initial stage. The tooth does not hurt yet, but the enamel is already losing minerals. On At this stage, you can do without drilling and do remineralization.
• Pain from sweets, hot or cold, which quickly goes away after the irritant is removed. This means that caries has reached the dentin layer under the enamel.
• The tooth hurts when you chew or press, the damage may be deep or has already affected the pulp. (nerve).
• You see a dark hole or gap on the tooth. Food debris gets in there, and destruction proceeds faster.
• A crack or chip in the enamel - even a small chip eventually turns into a carious cavity because it accumulates bacteria.

Usually treatment of caries takes one visit, 30–60 minutes. Here's how it happens:

1. Diagnostics: The doctor examines the tooth and takes a targeted X-ray or 3D CT scan. The image shows how deep the caries is and whether there is damage pulp. We check each image through the artificial intelligence of Diagnocat.

2. Anesthesia. First, we numb the injection site with a gel. Then we inject an anesthetic in two stages. We use modern drugs that are safe for adults and children. If you are very afraid, we can perform treatment during sleep.

3. tooth. We install a rubber dam - a latex scarf. It protects the tooth from saliva and bacteria during the entire treatment.

4. Removing carious tissue under a microscope. The doctor sees the border between healthy and diseased tissue and removes only what is needed.

5. We fill it with a filling. It accurately follows the anatomy of the tooth and is not felt. Grinding and polishing. The doctor adjusts the filling in height so that you can close your jaws comfortably, and polishes the surface. The filling does not scratch the tongue and cheek, and does not differ in color. tooth.
