Trigeminal neuralgia caused by tooth extraction

People say toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens. Indeed, oral problems have become a major issue affecting the quality of life. Various oral problems can have a significant impact on a person's physical and mental health. Many patients experience trigeminal neuralgia after tooth extraction. In fact, once trigeminal neuralgia occurs due to tooth extraction, carbamazepine can be chosen for treatment to achieve the effect of pain relief. In addition, you should pay attention to a rational diet, reduce bad eating habits, and pay more attention to rest.

First of all , the pain may be caused by some people being vegetarians or not eating staple foods, blindly dieting, and the body lacking necessary nutrients; or it may be caused by mental stimulation, which is an important cause of trigeminal neuralgia. Some people cannot let go of their emotions and moods, and they frown all day long, worrying about the coming headache. As a result, they suffer from liver depression and qi stagnation, which turns into fire over time, disturbing the brain and causing pain attacks.

Secondly , in daily prevention, you should pay attention to regular diet and choose soft and easy-to-chew foods. Do not eat irritating, overly sour, overly sweet foods, or cold foods; eat more foods that are rich in vitamins and have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying; eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and soy products, eat less fat and more lean meat, and it is better to eat light food. Then, be gentle when eating, rinsing your mouth, talking, brushing your teeth and washing your face. You should also pay attention to keeping your head and face warm, avoid local cold and moisture, and do not wash your face with too cold or too hot water; you should keep your emotions stable at ordinary times, do not get excited, avoid being tired and staying up late, listen to soft music more, and get enough sleep. And participate in sports appropriately, exercise and enhance physical fitness.

Finally , carbamazepine can be used for treatment. It is effective in relieving pain in 70% of patients, but it has side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Alternatively, phenytoin sodium can be used, but it is not as effective as carbamazepine. Finally, Chinese medicine can also be used for treatment.

Pay attention to maintaining a happy mood , exercise in moderation and be careful not to catch cold when exercising; choose soft foods and avoid eating hard foods such as nuts; eat normally, do not smoke or drink, go to bed and get up on time, and have a good life routine.
