Remedies for spasms in children

Causes of pain

There are many reasons why a dead tooth may begin to cause pain. Most of them are associated either with the lack of adequate treatment and care, or with the development of the inflammatory process. The most common reasons are:

• Incomplete nerve removal. If the nerves were not completely removed, the tooth will hurt in case of the slightest inflammation.
• Poorly cleaned channel. After the nerve is removed, the dead tooth is filled, but if the canal was poorly or incompletely cleaned, microscopic particles remain under the filling material. Over time, they cause inflammation and, as a result, pain.
• Poor quality filling. When filling, the material must be inserted into the canal completely, to the very end. If part of the canal is not sealed, pathogenic microflora begins to develop there. A variant of this reason can be considered the use of low-quality filling materials. They quickly collapse, causing the channel to open.
• Inflammatory processes in the gums or periosteum. Inflammation that develops next to a dead tooth begins to spread to nearby tissues, causing pain.

Whatever the reason, if a dead tooth starts to hurt, you need to contact a dentist. Delay can lead not only to the destruction of the crown, but also to the rapid spread of inflammation.

Symptoms

Most often, painful sensations occur during chewing or eating hot or cold food. Some patients complain of almost constant, aching or throbbing pain.

The inflammatory process can develop rapidly. In this case, the pain is usually sharp and severe. May be accompanied by swelling of the gums and swelling of the face. Sometimes the inflammation lasts for years, and since the patient does not experience severe pain, he delays the visit to the dentist, aggravating the situation.

What to do if a dead tooth hurts

At the first appearance of pain, you should contact your dentist. Since in most cases pain is a consequence of the inflammatory process, the doctor must carry out a diagnosis.

It is imperative to assess the condition of the gums, diagnose (or exclude) diseases such as periodontal disease, periodontitis, etc. Gum disease is difficult to treat, and timely diagnosis will help to prescribe the right treatment in time.

After diagnosis, the doctor prescribes treatment aimed at eliminating the causes of pain:

• If inflammation is detected, anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics may be prescribed.
• The old filling is removed, the canals are cleaned, and the filling is performed again.
• The darkened crown of the dead tooth is additionally whitened to restore the aesthetics of the smile.

A cold, lukewarm, or hot compress, whichever is more pleasant to someone, on which a few drops of the medicine used is dripped, often provides a great service, as well as rubbing the cheek with a small amount of the used tincture or placing it on cotton wool in the hollow of a tooth or spraying the face with medicine. ...

At the same time, you should not be in a particular hurry to extract the tooth, since homeopathic remedies quickly help.

Prevention

If you have dead teeth, care must be taken to preserve them. A crown that does not receive nutrients is fragile. Over time, it can deteriorate and tooth mobility appears. Prevention of diseases in such diseases is very important.

It is imperative to ensure proper daily oral hygiene. Teeth should be brushed with a suitable toothpaste; the brush should not have very hard bristles. After eating, you need to rinse your mouth with special compounds. This will help get rid of food debris and minimize the risk of developing plaque, tartar, and the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms.

It is important to undergo regular examinations by the dentist, and at the first appearance of pain or signs of disease, immediately go to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

What should you not do if you have a toothache?

If acute toothache occurs, it is strictly prohibited:

• apply painkillers in tablet form to the affected tooth (most often the result of the described actions is a chemical burn of the epithelial tissues in the affected area);
• take antibacterial agents;
• apply warm compresses and lotions to the tooth or cheek on the affected side;
• try to relieve pain with alcoholic drinks.

In addition, dentists do not recommend resorting to the use of dubious, untested, scientifically substantiated methods and means of alternative medicine.

It is important to understand that the only sure way to deal with acute toothache is to timely seek help from a dental clinic. Modern medications and treatment methods allow dentists to relieve patients of pain in a matter of minutes, and then effectively and quickly cope with the pathological processes that provoke the appearance of pain.
