Q.
Do I need to have my wisdom teeth extracted?
If your wisdom teeth have come in properly and are not causing any issues, extraction is not mandatory. However, wisdom teeth are often hard to clean, which makes them prone to causing gum disease or cavities in adjacent teeth. Therefore, even if they don’t currently bother you, extraction can be a preventive measure to avoid future complications.
Q.
Do I need multiple visits for a root canal?
If progress is smooth, a root canal can sometimes be completed in a single visit. However, in most cases, multiple visits are needed to thoroughly remove inflammation and infection from the root canals. Delaying treatment too long may cause the condition to worsen, resulting in a longer treatment period. Please make sure to adhere to the scheduled appointments.
Q.
How long does resin treatment last?
The longevity of resin treatment varies greatly depending on individual circumstances, so it’s difficult to provide an exact lifespan. However, with proper care and no additional complications, resin fillings can last over 10 years. On the other hand, if proper care is not taken, their lifespan could be less than a year. At our hospital, we strive to ensure maximum durability through high-quality treatment and guidance.
