The syringe in front of the drill
Many have already learned how terribly bad a toothache can be >
When the time comes, you can be sure that the cause of this pain is most likely caries, which has gradually eaten through the enamel and the dentin, so that the nerve tissue of the tooth reacts violently to this attack. – A visit to the dentist is essential if the tooth is still to be saved.
Anyone who has had to go through this knows that drilling is inevitable for this purpose, because the damaged tooth substance must be removed completely before the tooth can be treated further. Regardless of whether a filling is sufficient or a root canal treatment with subsequent crowning of the tooth should be carried out. This is the only way to ensure that the caries does not cause further damage on the spot. Strictly speaking, drilling is therefore a further damage to the tooth and, depending on how far the caries has progressed, the procedure can become extremely painful if, for example, enough tooth substance has to be removed to expose the pulp.
