Full Analysis and Diagnosis (Zoom 100%)
Upon close observation, one of the upper front teeth shows visible dark discoloration—a likely indication of pulpal necrosis or internal tooth trauma. This often happens when the tooth’s nerve dies due to deep decay, previous injury, or infection spreading inside the pulp chamber. The surrounding gumline also appears slightly inflamed, which can contribute to pain and pressure sensitivity.
Client Report:
“Need help, it is painful.”
In today’s rapidly advancing world of dental technology, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the field of dentistry. However, when it comes to complex surgical procedures—especially those involving advanced infections, severe bone loss, or delicate nerve areas—traditional surgical methods performed by skilled Filipino dentists remain the gold standard of treatment.
