What are the dangers of killing the tooth nerve when a child has a tooth filling?

For children, they may eat a lot of candies, which can cause great harm to their teeth. The most common one is tooth decay. Sometimes tooth decay is very serious and the nerves inside the teeth will be exposed, which will make children's teeth feel very painful. The way to deal with this situation is to fill the tooth. So, what are the dangers of children's dental fillings killing the tooth nerve?

Killing the nerves will not cause any harm to the body, but it will have a certain impact on the teeth, such as reducing or even eliminating the pain. As the dental pulp loses its activity, the tooth loses its nutrient supply from the dental pulp and cannot obtain calcium. Its hardness will continue to decrease slowly, its brittleness will increase, and it will be easy to split.

Once the dental nerve is infected or damaged, it will be difficult to recover. Therefore, if you find tooth decay, even if it is just a small black spot, you must not ignore it. As the saying goes, “If you don’t mend a small hole, you’ll suffer a big hole.” In order to avoid damaging the dental nerve, cavities must be repaired as soon as possible. Regular comprehensive oral health checkups are essential.

Filling children's teeth can kill the tooth nerve and will not have any impact.

Dental fillings are the process of restoring damaged or decayed teeth to their normal state. When filling a tooth, your dentist will first remove the decayed tooth, clean the damaged area, and then inject the filling material into the empty tooth cavity.

Of course, no technology is a panacea for all diseases and all have certain indications. Not all caries can be treated with non-invasive restorative techniques.

This technique should only be used for cavities where caries has spread only to the dentin and can be accessed by hand instruments. This technique cannot be used if the caries has spread to the pulp or caused apical inflammation, or if the cavity is very small and cannot be entered by manual instruments.
