Methods to compensate for minerals to restore teeth

The unpleasant sound of the drill when the dentist handles the tooth decay is enough to cause many people to fear and delay to check the dentist's teeth. But this method of tooth decay can be "backward" thanks to new treatments that help teeth recover.

Usually, a dentist will use a drill to remove deep teeth before filling the teeth with materials such as amalgam or composite. Professor Nigel Pitts of the University of London (UK) said that this method "is not ideal" because after filling, the teeth will not be able to restore the worm anymore.

With an electrically accelerated and electrically compensated mineral (EAER) method , the dentist will first overcome the damage of the enamel layer, then transfer a small electric current to stimulate the natural transmission of minerals. substances such as calcium and phosphates reach the damaged teeth so they can recover themselves. The patient also did not need an injection of anesthesia because this treatment did not cause pain.

"Our method is not only more comfortable with patients and better with teeth, it's not too expensive, at least equal to the current treatment," Pitts said. In addition to deep tooth treatment, EAER techniques also help whiten teeth and can be popular in the next 3 years.
