Dental treatment

Despite the fact that dental procedures have become significantly less painful over the past few decades, not all patients visit the dentist on time. Often fears prevail over health needs. This is confirmed by the statistics of cases of such a disease as pulpitis, especially irreversible. In Kyiv, two out of ten patients come to the dentist complaining that their tooth nerves have become inflamed due to long-untreated caries.

Gum disease (gingivitis) is a common problem faced by many dental clinics in Kyiv and Ukraine. Patients sometimes think that sensitivity and redness of the mucous membrane is a minor issue. However, one should remember about complications. Gingivitis has quite a few of them, so it is important to visit a clinic in time to eliminate the inflammatory process at an early stage.

The vast majority of clinics in Ukraine provide endodontic services, and almost every adult patient has faced the need for nerve removal and root canal filling. Endodontic treatment is a fairly large field with a number of important nuances that patients should be aware of.

The most common questions asked of a dentist begin with the words "is it painful." And the most frequent reason for visiting a dentist is caries. Thus, dentists quite often have to answer questions: "Is it painful to treat caries?", "Is it painful to remove caries?" and even in a simpler formulation – "Is it painful to treat a tooth with a hole?" Naturally, all patients want to hear a simple answer: "No." And in most cases, doctors manage to make the caries treatment procedure painless. However, there are a number of important points that the patient should be prepared for.

Does your tooth hurt under a filling, under a crown, after extraction, at night, or during pregnancy? In every case, pain signals the need for treatment. The chief doctor of the Osadchyi Clinic answers the most common patient questions about toothache and explains why you should not delay visiting a dentist.
