Our teeth are mainly composed of three parts: enamel, dentin, and pulp. Among them, tooth enamel plays a role in protecting the internal tissues of teeth, dentin, and pulp. Tooth enamel can generally protect our teeth from damage in addition to daily chewing, but sometimes due to some accidents, it will lead to enamel damage, so what should I do if the tooth enamel is damaged?
Tooth enamel is a non-renewable resource. When tooth enamel is corroded and cavated, it cannot recover on its own. Damaged tooth enamel is generally difficult to see with the naked eye, only when the enamel is damaged, the dirt erodes the dentin pulp, causing tooth decay pain, tooth induction quickly, and forming a larger and deeper cavity, we will have obvious feelings.
After the enamel is damaged, it can cause tooth damage if it is not recovered in time. The main repair methods include:
1. Filling restoration: When there are cracks in the tooth due to enamel damage, the filling method can be used to repair the enamel with corresponding materials;
2. Dental restoration: when the defect is large, it can be carried out in the way of dental restoration, such as trimming the enamel after using braces, and using porcelain crown or all-ceramic crown for restoration.
If the symptoms are mild, you can maintain a healthy brushing pattern, such as flossing properly, changing your original eating habits, such as not drinking cola, functional drinks, etc.
Tooth enamel is the hard tissue of our human body, only a little less hard than diamonds, comparable to crystal hardness, it plays an important role in protecting dental health, we must protect it well.
