Disease description:
Recently, I have been experiencing swollen and painful gums, and they feel sore and aching when exposed to cold substances. I might have dental problems during pregnancy; what are the treatment options?

There are various treatment methods for dental diseases, and it is crucial to select the appropriate treatment based on the specific condition.
1. For dental caries (tooth decay with cavities), common treatments involve removing the decayed tissue within the cavity followed by restoration using filling materials such as silver amalgam, glass ionomer, or composite resin.
2. For pulp and periapical diseases, such as pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, treatment involves removing the pulp, preparing the root canal, disinfecting, and filling the canal to ensure effective control of the inflammation.
3. Treatment for periodontal disease focuses on removing dental calculus and plaque, maintaining a smooth tooth surface, and preventing plaque attachment.
4. If there is tooth damage or tooth loss, restorative options include dental implants, fixed bridges, or removable partial dentures.
The choice of dental treatment should be based on the specific condition, and timely medical consultation is recommended to receive professional diagnosis and treatment.
