Some people say that shallow caries should not be filled, while others say that shallow caries must be filled. What is this?

Shallow caries need filling teeth, which is a shallow cavity and an early stage of caries development. At this time, it is even more necessary to treat dental caries. Only through the treatment of dental caries can the rotten and necrotic tissues in dental cavities be removed and the bacteria attached to the enamel surface be removed.

Only by removing these bacteria, bacteria will not continue to use food residues to produce acid, destroy enamel, make enamel continue to decalcify and collapse, and lead to the expansion of tooth cavities. Therefore, if there is a cavity, no matter how deep it is, it needs to be treated as soon as possible.

Early treatment is the way to cut off dental caries, that is, to prevent further expansion of dental caries and further damage to teeth. Because the damage of teeth is irreversible, once a cavity is formed, the cavity will continue to expand, and no matter how to remove the rotten and necrotic tissue in the cavity, new good teeth can not be formed. Therefore, only early treatment and prevention can completely block dental caries.
