The dentist talked about the reasons for replacing the seal.

There are many prerequisites and symptoms that signal the need to replace the seal. About this on July 22, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Olga Albova, a dentist-therapist at the Dentistoff Scientific clinic.

The doctor named the high sensitivity of the teeth as one of the reasons for the replacement of the filling.

"Tooth sensitivity to cold, hot and sweet is one of the signs of filling replacement," Albova said.

According to the dentist, aching or acute pain when biting, chipping of a part of the filling or tooth, darkening of the edges of the filling or the area next to it, a visible crack or gap between the filling and the enamel and the "roughness" of the filling is also a reason to come to a specialist.

The expert stated that there are hidden prerequisites for replacing the seal. Among them, the presence of secondary caries without pain, inflammation of the nerve under the filling.

As Albova noted, the "service life" of the seal today is 3-5 years. After this period, you should consult a dentist.

"Untimely replacement can lead to the development of deep caries, pulpitis (inflammation of the nerve), and then periodontitis — inflammation of the tissues around the root of the tooth," the doctor recommended.
