The first is dental pulp disease. Because the cavity develops to a deeper level, there will be irritating pain such as cold and heat. If left untreated at this time, it will further develop into pulpitis and cause spontaneous pain. If you don't go to the hospital at this level, you will be too painful to sleep at night! After the acute inflammatory period, the pain symptoms will be relieved or even disappeared, but don't think that the inflammation will disappear. In fact, inflammation not only erodes the pulp of teeth, but also develops into periodontal tissue. Inflammation infiltrates into alveolar bone, which leads to alveolar bone absorption, reaching gingiva to form fistula, and white pus flows out from fistula. At this time, I have to go to the hospital for more complicated treatment, otherwise my teeth will definitely be pulled out.
The second is caused by periodontal disease. The common diseases are gingivitis and pericoronitis caused by food impaction. At this time, you only need to clean up the embedded food and apply anti-inflammatory, analgesic and gum soothing drugs. There are also cases of gingival atrophy, alveolar bone absorption, root exposure and tooth loosening and falling off due to inattention to periodontal hygiene, which are manifested as pain when stimulated by cold, heat, acid and sweetness. But the pain will disappear after stimulation, and the treatment will be more troublesome at this time. Moreover, serious periodontal disease leads to bacterial growth in the depth of periodontal pocket, which infects the root tip of teeth, causing retrograde infection of dental pulp and pulpitis, and requires comprehensive dental-periodontal treatment.
The ancients said that "nip in the bud", we should stick to brushing our teeth every day, clean our mouth, keep our periodontal health, go to the hospital regularly for tooth cleaning, examination and health care, and treat early tooth lesions in time to avoid toothache.
Note: Don't use toothache casually ★
Although toothache is a minor illness, it has brought great trouble to people's lives. Toothache comes to you, do you know how to choose medicine?
A few months ago, Zhu Xiao found that she had a decayed tooth. Because of her busy work, she never went to see a doctor. Finally, one day, his teeth began to hurt, and his colleagues gave him a "toothache pill". He put it in his rotten tooth and it looked much better. But in the evening, the toothache became more and more severe, which made Zhu Xiao sleepless all night. It is painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, and the effect is not obvious. The next day, Zhu Xiao came to the hospital with his face covered. The first sentence she asked the doctor was: "What medicine should I take for toothache?"
To choose a good toothache medicine, we must first understand the cause and condition of toothache. The most common diseases that cause toothache in clinic are pulpitis, periapical periodontitis and pericoronitis.
Pulpit ※
Some patients with pulpitis have obvious pain when brushing their teeth with cold water, and the pain is relieved after switching to warm water; There are also some patients who feel pain when eating and drinking hot soup, and can't drink until the soup is cold; If it continues to develop, some patients will feel pain for no reason, especially after lying down and sleeping at night, the pain will be aggravated and even affect sleep. This is what doctors often say, "cold and hot stimulation hurts, and spontaneous pain at night."
The inflammatory site of pulpitis is in the pulp cavity in the center of the tooth, and the medicine can only reach through the tiny apical foramen. It can be said that no medicine can completely treat pulpitis, so it is reasonable to say that there is no medicine for pulpitis. Many patients with pulpitis go to the hospital in a hurry when they have toothache, and those unprofessional doctors prescribe antibiotics casually, but the results are completely ineffective. For the pain caused by pulpitis, painkillers have certain effect, but when the pain is severe, the effect of painkillers is not obvious. Local painkillers such as "toothache pill" may be effective when the pain is mild, but it is not a good solution. When pulpitis occurs, it is best to find a dentist to treat and treat the sick teeth. If you feel pain before going to the dentist, you can take painkillers orally. Other drugs are not recommended.
Periapical periodontitis ※
Under normal circumstances, pulpitis develops further, and bacteria invade the tissues around the root tips of teeth, leading to periapical periodontitis. In the early stage of inflammation, patients will feel that their teeth are floating, and it is easy to bite the sick teeth, and there will be pain when biting. Because the scope of early inflammation is relatively small, the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers is helpful to control inflammation, but it is of little significance. Professional dentists still emphasize local drainage and local medication. Doctors usually dredge the teeth to the tissue around the root tip and place anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs locally, such as camphor phenol. If patients with periapical periodontitis are not treated in time, the scope of inflammation will expand, and redness, swelling, heat, pain, suppuration, even fever and general pain may appear on the cheeks. At this time, it is necessary to use antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers (broad-spectrum antibiotics and metronidazole are commonly used drugs); Pain patients can add painkillers and other analgesics, and patients with severe pain can inject local anesthetics such as procaine around their teeth.
Pericoronitis ※
Pericoronitis mostly occurs when mandibular wisdom teeth are incompletely erupted or impacted, and the soft tissue around the crown is inflamed. At the initial stage of inflammation, patients feel swollen and painful gums, and the pain is obvious when chewing, swallowing or opening activities, and the pain is aggravated with the development of the disease; In severe cases, there may be different degrees of inability to open your mouth or even bite your teeth. The treatment is mainly local treatment. Generally, the local area is rinsed with normal saline and 2% hydrogen peroxide, then iodoglycerin, preferably 1 ~ 3 times a day, and then rinsed with chlorhexidine mouthwash. If there is an abscess, it should be cut and discharged in time. If the cheeks are red, swollen, hot and painful, or even the whole body is hot and painful, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers can be used. Commonly used drugs are broad-spectrum antibiotics and metronidazole.
Whether it is periapical periodontitis or pericoronitis, if the disease is not controlled, it is easy to form oral and maxillofacial space infection. At this time, intravenous antibiotics can also be considered, and doctors should choose drugs according to the patient's situation, such as penicillin.
