Many friends are facing with the dilemma of whether wearing braces or not after filling the teeth. Do we on earth need the brace or not after tooth filling? And what's the function of wearing a brace? The dentists in Shenzhen Dental Hospital will explain for you in detail as below.

　　All Depends on the Entire Periodontal Condition

　　When the tooth decay is very severe and extensive and has already reached the pulp of the tooth or even leads to pulpitis, then dental filling is no longer effective to solve the tooth decay problem. Instead, we will use Root Canal Treatment to take out the pulp after cleaning out canal thoroughly. In this case, the tooth becomes fragile after root canal treatment, so always we are instructed by the dentists to wear the brace to protect the tooth in case of crumbling.

　　But not all decay teeth need braces. If the tooth decay is not too severe to use the Root Canal Treatment to touch the nerves and the pulps tissues, it is unnecessary to wear braces. All we need to do is to put a filling in the cavity after sterilization to support the tooth and to prevent the tooth from cracking apart.

　　Attentions after Tooth Filling

　　There are attentions after teeth filling or even wearing teeth braces in case of damages to our teeth. It shall be prohibited to use the diseased tooth side of the mouth to chew food the first day of the treatment or to bite the super hard food since the chewing function of the new filling tooth is fragile.

　　You still need to go back to the clinic on a regular basis after wearing the brace to check-up the existing braces use conditions specifically. If the brace becomes loose and the fillings are scattering, then immediate measures should be taken to protect the brace. Anyway, we do not want to damage our teeth.

　　All in all, the choice of the brace after filling depends on the specific periodontal conditions and the diseased tooth treatment conditions. As the lifetime tool, we hope to protect our teeth. But sometimes our individual opinions are usually inaccurate, we still need to follow the dentists’ recommendations to treat our lifetime tool-teeth.
