Therapeutic dental treatment
Therapeutic dental treatment - a branch of dentistry that includes the treatment and prevention of tooth decay (cavities) and other disorders. This treatment includes dental fillings, root canal treatment, tartar removal and other procedures aimed at preserving tooth structure and function. Regular check-ups and preventive treatments are essential to keep your teeth healthy and prevent more serious problems in the future.
What is therapeutic dental treatment?
Therapeutic treatment is a non-surgical treatment that includes a full range of dental procedures. They are designed to treat damaged teeth and gums and to protect the nerve of the tooth from damage and preserve the natural teeth.
Therapeutic dental treatment covers a wide range of dental procedures: from simple fillings, preventive check-ups and oral health assessments to aesthetic fillings, treatment of caries and its complications, and replacement of fillings.

The most common therapeutic treatments
This is one of the most common procedures in the dentist's office. Damaged areas of the tooth (due to decay, chipped tooth, old filling falling out, etc.) need to be filled with a special filling material. Fillings can range from tiny to very large. The size of the lesion usually determines how long the treatment will take.
What do I need to know after therapeutic treatment?
After a filling, you may feel that the tooth is sensitive for a while, which is completely normal. This feeling may last for about 1-2 weeks and then gradually diminish and go away. Specific recommendations will be made by the doctor who carried out the procedure, as the recommendations will depend on the steps taken, the condition of the tooth, whether it is a single visit or if the treatment will be spread over several visits, etc.
