What to do if a tooth decay hurts

Toothache caused by tooth decay is a very common situation in people's daily life. There are many reasons for this situation. It may be caused by people not paying enough attention to the care of their teeth, or it may be caused by eating some foods that are harmful to human teeth. Toothache is very annoying, so people hope to treat it as soon as possible. So here is what to do if you have tooth decay?

As the saying goes, toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens. It is the pain caused by decayed teeth, which refers to the clinical symptoms of acute pulpitis. What are its characteristics? 1. Spontaneous and paroxysmal pain; 2. Temperature stimulation aggravates the pain; 3. The pain is often difficult to locate; 4. The pain often occurs at night and is more severe than during the day, causing the patient to toss and turn and unable to sleep, and sometimes even waking the patient up from a deep sleep due to the pain.

In pulpitis, due to the lack of collateral circulation, once the pulp becomes inflamed, it cannot eliminate itself. The pulp must be removed to relieve the symptoms, and the infection in the pulp cavity needs to be removed. The root canal is then filled and sealed with biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. 1. Treatment methods: Reversible pulpitis aims to preserve the vital pulp, which include direct pulp capping, indirect pulp capping and pulpotomy. Irreversible pulpitis is treated with the aim of removing the pulp and preserving the tooth, such as root canal treatment. 2. Treatment principles: preserve the vital pulp or preserve the affected tooth. Emergency treatment can be pulpotomy to reduce pressure. After rinsing with warm salt water, place analgesics such as camphor powder, clove oil powder or a small cotton ball in the caries cavity to temporarily relieve the pain. At the same time, take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Root canal treatment, dry pulp surgery or pulp plasticization can be performed selectively 1 to 2 days after the pain is relieved. Teeth that have no value to be retained can be extracted as soon as possible.

If you have pain normally, you can take some anti-inflammatory drugs, such as spiramycin, metronidazole, etc. The most effective treatment method is to go to the dentist to treat the affected tooth, which is to make a small hole on the tooth and clean the dirt and dental nerve inside. Generally, you need to visit the doctor three or four times, and the pain will go away after the inflammation is eliminated.
