Caries treatment in Kyiv

Caries – it is a pathological process provoked by microorganisms, as a result of which, in the absence of treatment, teeth are destroyed. The process begins with the demineralization of the upper layer of the teeth (enamel), then the inner layer (dentin) gradually softens and carious cavities are formed. Timely treatment of caries in the UADenta dental clinic – an effective way to save teeth and prevent the development of complications.

Causes caries

The main cause of caries is the accumulation of microorganisms in the oral cavity, which attach to the enamel and begin to multiply. Products of their vital activity – acids – destroy tooth enamel. The tooth remains unprotected and is damaged more deeply.

The probability of development of pathology increases:

• if there are large gaps between the teeth;

• if dental hygiene is performed incorrectly;

• with weakened immunity and impaired metabolism;

• with hypovitaminosis or deficiency in the body of calcium, phosphorus, fluorine and other macro- and microelements.

Among the reasons for the development of caries, we should mention diseases of the stomach and intestines, unbalanced nutrition, severe and chronic diseases. You can prevent the development of caries with good oral hygiene and regular preventive examinations at the dentist of our UADenta clinic.

Signs of development caries

Caries develop slowly, so pain usually appears in the second or third stages, when pulp inflammation begins:

• Surface caries can be seen by the darkening of the enamel and the increased reaction of the teeth to external stimuli.

• Medium caries is characterized by the appearance of a dark spot on the tooth and a pronounced reaction to stimuli.

• Deep caries is characterized by redness and swelling of the gums with long-lasting severe pain.

You cannot ignore the reaction of teeth to cold, hot, sweet or sour even in the absence of external signs of caries. With deep infection, the development of an abscess or phlegmon is possible. If caries is treated in a timely manner at the first stage, dentine destruction and pulp damage can be avoided. 

How diagnostics are performed 

The doctors of our UADenta clinic use various methods to determine the degree of tooth damage and establish a diagnosis. The main diagnostic methods for the treatment of caries in Kyiv are:

• examination of teeth with a mirror and checking the strength of enamel with a special tool;

• x-ray;

• computed tomography;

• orthopantomography (picture of the jaw).

Applying to our clinic at an early stage of caries development allows you to significantly reduce the treatment time and save the budget.

Features treatment caries

Professional treatment of caries involves removal of affected areas followed by restoration of the anatomical shape of the tooth. The duration of treatment and the applied methods are determined by the depth of damage to the hard tissues of the teeth:

• Caries in the white or dark spot stage are treated by saturating the enamel with fluoride and calcium.

• Superficial can be removed by removing the affected areas and applying products with fluoride to restore tooth enamel.

• Medium is treated by laser drilling of carious areas followed by medical treatment and installation of a restorative filling.

To treat deep caries, after cleaning carious areas, the nerve is removed. The dentist applies medicine and places a temporary filling. A permanent restoration seal is installed in about a week.

Thanks to the use of modern materials and technologies for the treatment of caries in Kyiv by the specialists of our UADenta clinic, it is possible to completely and painlessly restore the functions of the oral cavity. A beautiful smile and comfort will return to you.
