Laurus Dent Plus Dental Center invites you for a preventive check-up.
Laurus Dent Plus Dental Center invites you for a preventive check-up, caries treatment, and treatment of inflammatory diseases. We will carry out diagnostics, create a therapeutic treatment plan, restore chewing function, and perform composite restoration. The high standard of dentistry in Riga, certified materials, and consumables from European brands allow us to treat root canals without complications or pain using topical and carpule anesthesia. The choice of method depends on the depth and location of the affected area.
Stages of caries development
Sweets and organic acids thin the enamel and contribute to the formation of pathological lesions.
- At the white spot stage, the problem occurs due to local damage to the tooth structure.
- With superficial damage, the enamel is affected, and the process involves the tissues and dentin.
- At the moderate stage, the lesion expands and affects the canal. If the process develops in the cervical area or between the teeth, root removal may be required.
- At the deep stage, destruction of hard tissues leads to pulpitis and periodontitis. When the root apex becomes inflamed, a cyst or granuloma may form.
Endodontic treatment at Laurus Dent Plus
During a preventive check-up, the specialist detects the problem at the white spot stage. The dentist examines the teeth with a dental probe and looks for rough areas. To detect invisible damaged areas, the doctor uses indicators. Local absorption of the dye helps reveal pathological lesions. In cases of deeper damage, patients are referred for instrumental diagnostics.
Treatment of the initial form consists of saturating the damaged enamel with minerals and microelements after plaque removal. Progressive disease is treated in 1–2 visits to the dental clinic.
- To isolate the affected tooth and ensure the patient’s comfort, the dentist places a rubber dam.
- Before preparation, the working area is anesthetized.
- Under a microscope, the dentist performs antiseptic treatment of the carious cavity, applies an adhesive and light-curing composite material, or places a traditional filling.
- To restore the anatomical shape, aesthetic modeling is performed. Grinding and polishing give the surface a glossy finish.
By visiting our clinic every six months, you can avoid the appearance of carious lesions and complications such as pulpitis and periodontitis. Do not postpone your visit if you experience increased sensitivity or short-term toothache after cold or sweet foods. You can solve the problem in one appointment with the dentist and save on treatment costs.
