How long do filled teeth last?

How long do filled teeth last? We know that when a tooth is rotten, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment (tooth filling) as soon as possible. How long the filled teeth can be used for is the most concerned issue of patients, and it is also a more complicated issue. The length of time and function of teeth after restoration is related to a variety of factors. The first is the timing of fillings, that is, the degree of caries in the teeth when visiting the patient. The location and the shape of the cavity have a lot to do with it. The second is the filling material. Different materials have different adhesion to the tooth cavity. Furthermore, it is the treatment of filling the front tooth cavity. If the cavity is limited to caries, and the cavity is good, shallow, and not adjacent to the tooth, etc., it is only necessary to remove the decayed tissue in the cavity, prepare the cavity, and disinfect it thoroughly. Fill the cavity. The filled teeth should last a lifetime. When the tooth lesions have reached the pulp or root tip, as long as the anti-inflammatory treatment is carried out thoroughly, and the final filling is done tightly, it can also be lifelong. However, if the tooth is severely damaged, the cavity is too large, deep, irregular in shape, or in the shape of the adjacent cavity, the filled tooth should be used with care. Otherwise, the teeth may be split or the filling will fall off when biting hard objects. In particular, the teeth that have killed nerve or pulp necrosis have no blood supply, and the teeth become brittle. After such teeth are filled with anti-inflammatory, biting hard objects is more likely to cause the teeth to split, the filling falls off, and the filling fails; even the teeth are completely split. Cracks below the gums, often leading to tooth extraction. It can be seen that the success of dental fillings is closely related to both the patient and the doctor. First of all, when filling a tooth, the doctor should strictly follow the regular procedures, and the patient should also find and diagnose the tooth early, and strive to fill the tooth in the early stage of caries to achieve the best use effect.
