Mistakes that can lead to tooth loss

If a permanent or temporary filling falls out, you should immediately contact your dentist. Before visiting a specialist, it is important to ensure proper oral care and not make fatal mistakes that can lead to serious inflammation of the gums, destruction of the walls and complete loss of the tooth. 

See a doctor after a month or more

A filling can fall out due to the fact that the material from which the filling was made is outdated or exfoliated, a gap has formed between the tooth and the filling, or caries has re-developed. Also, in some people, the filling can quickly wear out or become thinner, for example, due to the characteristics of the bite (deep bite), when there is increased abrasion of all teeth or some teeth are missing. Often, patients lose a filling through their own fault: they do not take care of their oral cavity, chew on too hard food, open lids with their teeth, etc.

Regardless of the reason for the loss of the filling, it is necessary to contact the dentist so that he understands the situation, installs a new filling material or prescribes the necessary treatment. It is important to do this as soon as possible. Do not spend too much time playing on the IviBet Canada website, postponing the visit to the doctor. If a new filling on the tooth is not installed at least a month later, you may encounter irreversible damage.

Wield in the mouth with a toothpick

After a filling falls out, a cavity forms in the tooth. While eating, food will be regularly clogged into it. If you try to clean it with a toothpick or any other sharp object, you can accidentally injure the gums, exposed tooth tissues and provoke severe inflammation. For care after eating, just rinse your mouth with warm water or mouthwash.

Self-medicate

A tooth that has lost a filling can hurt and ache. You should not put various folk remedies, propolis, a piece of a pill, cotton wool with medicine or something else into the tooth cavity. As a result of such manipulations, pain and inflammation will only intensify and worsen the overall situation. To reduce pain, you can take painkillers, strictly following the instructions.

Leave solid foods in your diet

A tooth with a cavity becomes fragile and vulnerable. If you keep the usual load on the jaw and eat hard nuts, vegetables and fruits, you can provoke significant tooth decay, after which it will not be subject to restoration.

To prevent this from happening, before visiting a doctor, it is better to exclude solid foods from the diet, and also try not to chew on the side where the tooth is without a filling.

Do not practice oral hygiene

Without proper hygiene procedures, a dangerous microflora is formed in the mouth that can destroy healthy teeth. This leads to tooth decay, tooth loss, bad breath, fungal infections and gum disease. To prevent such troubles, teeth should be brushed at least twice a day: in the morning and in the evening.
