If you get treatment without knowing 'this,' it will recur

Molar pain

Hello. Have you searched for molar cavity pain?

This is O Tae-hoon, CEO and head doctor of D-Day Dental Clinic.

There is one thing I have discovered while treating more than 10,000 patients.

Among patients who come back with molar cavity pain, over 70% of cases are because of "this."

What is it?

It is proximal caries.

"Proximal caries? I’ve never heard of that."

That’s right.

Most patients are hearing this term for the first time.

But this is the biggest cause of recurrence.

Because it is not visible from the outside, can easily come back even after treatment,

and, above all, you don’t know about it until the pain appears.

Have you ever experienced this?

If so, please focus and read for just 3 minutes from here.

  1. The hidden culprit behind molar pain,

proximal caries

Proximal caries refers to cavities that form between teeth.

Unlike ordinary cavities that form on the chewing surface, this kind is truly sneaky.

From the outside, it looks perfectly fine.

There is no black spot, and no hole is visible.

So in most cases, patients don’t even realize it.

But when we take an X-ray, it is shocking.

The inside of the tooth is already blackened and decayed in a triangular shape.

It looks as if it had been split with an axe.

Sometimes only the outer shell remains, and when you bite into something hard, it suddenly breaks apart.

The bigger problem is that proximal caries does not come alone.

When it appears in one place, it tends to occur in other molars at the same time.

So you should not assume everything is fine just because one area was treated.

  1. Molar cavity pain,

why does it keep coming back?

Doctor, I definitely got treatment, so why does it hurt again?

I get this question very often. There are two major reasons for recurrence.

First, there is a possibility that early cavities in nearby areas were missed during treatment. Molar pain

Proximal caries usually forms in multiple places at once,

so if only one area is treated and that’s it, the rest progresses and the pain returns.

If the spaces between teeth are not checked carefully, this can happen.

Second, it happens when post-treatment care is not done properly. Molar pain

The spaces between teeth can never be cleaned completely with a toothbrush alone.

You need to use dental floss, and if you do not, cavities can form again in the same place.

In fact, many patients who have been treated don’t even know how to use floss.

There is something I always emphasize to my patients.

Treatment is important, but understanding why it happened and preventing it is even more important.

That is why I spend a lot of time explaining things thoroughly before and after treatment.

  1. Molar cavity pain,

how to prevent recurrence

The most important thing is regular checkups.

Every 6 months, you should check the spaces between your teeth with an X-ray.

If found early, it can be treated simply,

but if found late, it can progress to root canal treatment.

Flossing is also essential.

Once a day, before bed, use floss to clean carefully between your teeth.

At first, it will feel annoying.

But once it becomes a habit, the chance of recurrence drops sharply.

Finally, choose a dental clinic that also examines the surrounding teeth. Molar pain

It should not be a place that just patches up only the painful area and ends there,

but one that looks at your overall oral condition.

It is even better if they show you the X-rays and explain everything in detail so you can understand.

To summarize what I talked about today:

If molar cavity pain keeps recurring, suspect proximal caries.

And prevent recurrence with regular checkups and flossing.

I feel most rewarded when patients say after treatment, "Ah, now I can eat comfortably."

Being able to eat comfortably without pain, that is the result of treatment I want most. Molar cavity pain Molar Cavity Pain, image 9

D-Day Dental Clinic does not just rush to treat the painful area and stop there.

We explain thoroughly why it hurts and how to prevent it.

My approach is to take the time to explain until the patient fully understands.

Are you having trouble eating because of molar cavity pain?

Did you get treatment before, but it hurts again?

Please feel free to visit us anytime.

After a detailed examination, we will find the exact cause.

We will do our best to provide treatment that is as painless as possible and does not recur.
