Tooth decay is one of the commonest reasons why patients present to the dentist. Amazingly, most people are not aware of the presence of a hole on their tooth/teeth until after the first episode of tooth pain. Some people can even be aware of the presence of a hole but the fear of removing the tooth hold them back from visiting the dentist. Well, I have glad tidings for my reader, not every tooth with a hole must be removed. It all depends on the extent of damage that determines the options available to you.

What is Tooth Decay?

Tooth decay is the destruction of your tooth enamel, the hard, outer layer of your teeth. It usually occurs as a result of bacterial action on food particles in the mouth which results in the destruction of sound tooth tissue.

What are the consequences of Tooth Decay?

Tooth decay can result in severe pain which may significantly affect your quality of life. The infection can spread beyond the tooth to involve the surrounding tissues resulting in fast spreading swelling around the jaw. In some cases, the infection can be disseminated throughout the body resulting in life-threatening conditions.

The Available Options for Decaying Teeth.

The following are usually the options for a decaying tooth depending on the extent of the decay and the presence of pain

Inlays and Onlays: Onlays are tooth restoration that are made outside of the mouth as a single, solid piece, that fits the specific size and shape of the decayed part of a tooth. An inlay will incorporate decaying pits and fissures of a tooth. They are usually recommended when an extensive part of the tooth is lost.

2. Use of Crowns: These are recommended when an extensive part of a tooth is lost and such tooth is not amenable to fillings. As the word goes, a crown is like a cap that will be inserted on a prepared tooth to preserve the remaining tooth structure.

3. Root Canal Therapy: This is recommended when there is severe spontaneous pain from a decaying tooth. Usually, the dentist would locate the pulp canal(remember your biology) which houses the nerves and blood vessels. The dentist would clean out the decaying/decayed pulp tissues and fill the canal with an inert material, known as Gutta Parcha. Don’t be in a hurry to remove that tooth, discuss your options with your dentist.

4. Extraction: This is the last option when all the aforementioned options fail. Unfortunately, this is one of the most feared dental procedures. Tooth extraction is usually a painless procedure because local anaesthesia would be given.

5. Tooth fillings: This involved replacement of the decayed part of a tooth with tooth-coloured materials or metallic fillings. You can discuss more with your dentist to determine the best option for you.

I have a bad tooth that I'm determined not to pull out even on the pain of death.

How do I managed the tooth? Simple, I just eat raw garlic close to the tooth or on the tooth itself and the pain fades away eventually within 48hrs (It might even be 12 hours but I don't actually record it). At some point, it hits me that I no longer feel any pain there.

Why does it work? Toothache is causes by pathogens and garlic has been found to be a natural antibiotic. So, next time, rather than remove that tooth in case you've already removed like half, it might be wise using garlic!

And did I tell you it's dirt cheap?

Garlic....

It cures tooth decay in 2 days.

Peel a clove and place it in the decaying tooth.

Bite on the garlic and sleep with it.

Do that in 3days and say bye to toothache or tooth decay for life.

I'm a living witness.

wellmax:

Did you say sculptor?
The guys at Orile Agege General Hospital dental clinic are comparable to carpenters. The guy used hammer and chisel on my tooth, I still feel the pains.

OrestesDante:



Bros!! You can't be a witness to what you haven't experienced..

I discovered that I have toothdecay in 2004 and got the same tooth removed in Dec 2018.

Do the maths...14 good years with about 13years and some months silent.. That I would thought that it is gone forever. Until these crazy complications started. Whenever I tell people my experience they find it very difficult to believe - the relationship between toothdecay and chest..

The bacteria later went to my chest[chest itches] and then spreading to my right arm that I could barely clinch my fist, accompany with serious fever... I used antibiotics but all they brought was temporal relief.. Nobody tell me when I enter hospital go remove am...

Get your tooth removed bros.... The bacteria won't go
