What should I do if I have a toothache? As a dentist with many years of experience, my answer is:When tooth pain occurs, it is necessary to actively search for the cause and treat the symptoms, such as immediate resin-filled fillings and root canals, to address the cause.

Tooth pain due to missing tooth tissue

1,Periodontal disease causes tooth pain, when the periodontal tissues chronic infection, gums red, swollen and bleeding, alveolar bone resorption resulting in loose teeth, shifting and other manifestations of teeth, teeth when subjected to the pressure of chewing, there will be obvious pain. At the same time, deep periodontal pockets, periodontal pus secretion, etc., may lead to retrograde pulpitis, tooth pain.

2, common dental tissue defects for dental caries, when the lesion does not involve the pulp tissue, such as deep caries, etc. resulting in transient tooth pain. Teeth due to caries is not effectively controlled, caries continues to progress, such as occlusal surface, adjacent surfaces, such as the emergence of deep cavities, when eating food debris, hot and cold stimuli penetrate into the cavity, can cause transient pain and discomfort, when the external stimulus is removed, the symptoms can immediately disappear.

3, improper brushing, hard bristle toothbrush for lateral pulling brush, resulting in hard tissue defects in the neck of the teeth, dentin exposure. Due to the conduction effect of dentin tubules, when there is external stimulation effect defects: such as local scratching, hot, cold, sweet and sour, etc., can lead to dentin allergy, there is a slight pain discomfort. If the brushing method is not corrected in time, the tooth will be gradually destroyed, eventually leading to tooth fracture and pulp inflammation.

Tooth pain due to pulp involvement

When the pulp tissue is inflamed due to caries, traumatic fracture, periodontal infection and other factors, then significant pain will occur. Generally manifested as spontaneous pain (i.e., pain without any triggers) and hot and cold stimulation pain (pulpitis later, there will be hot pain and cold relief phenomenon), endodontic pain attack is very intense, often bitter pain. The pain of pulpitis is very severe and often excruciating. Moreover, patients can only distinguish which side of the tooth is painful due to pulpitis and cannot pinpoint which one, therefore, careful examination and X-ray films are needed to assist in the diagnosis during the treatment.

What is the treatment for tooth pain?

1, only the dentin tissue defects, no involvement of pulp tissue when the pain, the need for timely consultation, for the dentin tissue defects for restoration. Such as deep caries, need to carefully remove the caries, cavity bottom sealing drug appeasement treatment, to avoid damage to the pulp tissue, to be observed after no obvious symptoms, to be filled with resin. If the wedge-shaped defect is caused by improper brushing, the cavity can be prepared and filled in the wet state. Generally speaking, treatments that do not involve the pulpal tissue are relatively simple and take less time.

2、If the pulp tissue is involved, perfect root canal treatment is needed. Carefully remove the caries and infected material in the root canal, and seal repeatedly to make sure there are no obvious symptoms before filling.

Knowledge Expansion

Teeth after root canal treatment lose the nutritional support of some of the tooth's hard tissues and pulp tissues and become brittle and prone to fracture under the pressure of chewing. Therefore, it is recommended to protect the teeth after root canal treatment by choosing appropriate dentures to maximize the time of use of the teeth.

Summarize: there are many reasons for the occurrence of toothache, once it occurs, you need to consult the doctor in time, according to the dental condition, to develop an appropriate treatment plan. If the distance from the dentist is far, can not be rushed in time when, you can light soft food, temporary oral pain medication symptomatic treatment.

Many people in ordinary life, more or less will have a toothache habit. When it comes to toothache, many people may think, hurry to buy medicine to stop the pain! Then the first thing that comes to mind is naturally "metronidazole". Currently on the market, for toothache metronidazole drugs, mainly in the "artificial oxalic" category of the main. However, when it comes to toothache, you go to the drugstore, or go directly to the hospital to see the doctor, but they will not directly recommend that you use this drug, and also tell you do not just eat this drug, which is why? Is it possible that metronidazole, once labeled as the "miracle painkiller," is not being taken seriously anymore? In fact, is not not pay attention to, just about this kind of drug some common sense, we must also go to carefully understand a little.

1. Why does metronidazole stop pain?

In fact, you may only know a little bit of common sense in response to the analysis that this type of drug can stop pain, but you are not so familiar with why it can stop pain. Generally speaking, metronidazole against which type of toothache, the best effect? For example, when you have wisdom teeth, if you have a toothache at this time, or sometimes after the mouth is on fire, the use of metronidazole can achieve very good pain relief. This is because, the metronidazole itself can also help the body to remove some fungi, especially the mouth inside the bacteria are also more, so in the toothache, the use of this type of drug will be able to do sterilization and pain at the same time to meet, especially play the effect of pain.

2. Which toothaches, for which the use of metronidazole is not effective?

In addition to the above mentioned fire, or wisdom teeth, in other cases, if the use of metronidazole, may not really achieve a good pain relief effect. For example, some people have insect teeth, that is, we are familiar with "caries", this kind of toothache basically belongs to the root canal of the teeth, has been violated, so simply use the drug to stop the pain, simply can not achieve good results. In addition, if the nerve lesions, and then triggered by the related pain, this kind of pain using metronidazole, the same can not achieve a good effect of pain relief.

3. What are the negative effects of over-reliance on metronidazole?

Since it is a drug, it will have some side effects on our body, more or less. So, Metronidazole is no exception, if you go to take it regularly, it will add extra burden to our digestive system, especially the intestinal flora, and the metabolism of the liver. Therefore, do not use metronidazole to put off any toothache, this is not desirable.

Toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell. I have personally experienced it, when the pain for a long time, the most painful time is a night did not sleep on the couch all night, the next day had to pull out. However, in those days before the extraction, I through the network and around the relatives and friends to understand some of the ways to relieve toothache, but also played a certain role.

Toothaches are mostly caused by inflammatory infections such as gingivitis and periodontitis, and tooth decay (cavities). Before treating it, it is important to see which one you belong to now. In addition to taking some oral analgesic medication, you can take some emergency measures to relieve toothache. I will briefly introduce a few methods for your reference:

1. Ginger

This is because ginger contains gingerol, citral and chorine, which have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiseptic properties. When a toothache occurs, use ginger in your mouth and bite on the sore spot, or cut a small slice and bite on it with the aching tooth to relieve the pain.

2、Flower Pepper

Those who have eaten peppercorns know that eating peppercorns in the mouth will be numb. The use of peppercorns for toothache is actually the use of this, toothache when the peppercorns bite on the teeth in pain, so that the painful parts of the numbness, naturally, do not feel the toothache. If peppercorns and vinegar together, the effect will be even better, take a small amount of peppercorns with vinegar boiled for about 10 minutes, take wet peppercorns contained in the mouth, soon to see the effect, pay attention to do not swallow!

3. Garlic

Garlic has antibacterial, disinfectant effect, so garlic is also very effective in relieving toothache, but to be a little bit of trouble, it is necessary to first crush the garlic and then warm compresses in the toothache before, the effect is very fast, and garlic on the cause of toothache of all kinds of symptoms have effect.

4. Salt water

If the temporary toothache is caused by something irritating that you just ate, you can rinse your mouth with salt water a few times to rinse out any food debris or bacteria and it will hurt less.

5、Acupressure point massage

Toothache can also be relieved by massaging the Hegu and Cheek Che points. General upper toothache take the lower pass point, lower toothache take cheek car point; and no matter the upper and lower toothache can be added with the same side of the Hegu point (that is, people often say "tiger's mouth"), with the thumb to press the point and a little bit of kneading, in the repeated after the toothache is immediately eliminated by itself.

The above methods can basically play a role in relieving the pain for a while, but if it is a persistent toothache, it is still recommended that you take medication or go to the hospital to see a doctor in a timely manner.

In addition to the above emergency measures, it is also important to prevent toothache, make sure to maintain oral hygiene, develop a good habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and rinsing your mouth after meals.

These are my views. What are your other views on this? Feel free to leave a comment and rememberfocusOh!

For toothache patients can be applied to the toothpaste in the pain of the tooth parts feel cool, can play a role in rapid pain relief; you can also take a few peppercorns or the right amount of pepper on the location of the pain to play anesthesia to relieve the effect of pain; or take a cup of cold water in the freezer, and then immediately drink a mouthful of water contained in the mouth, and stop for a while, and wait for the mouth of the water to become warm, and then spit it out, and then suffer from another mouthful of ice water; Or directly contain a piece of ice in the mouth, can also play the same effect.

If none of the above methods work, you need to go to the hospital and see a dentist. In general, the doctor will drill holes in the painful teeth to reduce the pressure inside the teeth, and then put a small piece of anesthetic into the drilled holes, which will reduce the pain quickly. Some people's tooth pain is caused by inflammation of the pulp of the tooth, the dentist in addition to drilling directly with pliers to the pain part of the tooth's pulp to destroy the pulp or to the pulp of the tooth inside the anti-inflammatory drug injection, can also be used to make the pain in teeth to stop quickly. If the tooth is already broken and has lost its own function, it will need to be extracted in order to provide quick pain relief.

Toothache is a pain in the teeth due to various reasons is quite common and is one of the most familiar diseases in the oral cavity and has many causes. Let's take a look at some of the benefits and advantages of treating a toothache with Western medicine.

[1] Fast treatment

Western medicine is very fast, with anti-inflammatory saline as well as medication, it can provide rapid relief of toothache is extremely good for reducing the patient's pain.

[2] Convenience

Need to take as well as carry are very convenient and even with a bottle of water can solve the problem, but most of the Chinese medicine also need to be fried or boiled way to take, compared to the Chinese medicine in terms of the use of Western medicine as well as carry too much convenience.

[3] Precise diagnosis

Western medicine can use advanced scientific instruments to carry out a detailed and thorough examination of the site of the toothache, which, compared to the traditional Chinese medicine of pulse diagnosis, is more accurate to reach the affected area, and after finding out the cause of the direct treatment can effectively solve the problem of the affected area.

Dr. Springer to answer that question.

Many people stay up late to work overtime or cold body resistance decline, the body appears a lot of discomfort, like sore throat, mouth ulcers, dizziness, but the toothache is the most difficult, hot and cold stimulation pain, do not stimulate the pain sometimes continue to hurt, pain to make people fidgety and irritable.

In fact, most of the toothache is caused by dental caries, usually the pain symptoms are not stimulated, but when the immune system is low, the bacterial activity is frequent, and the pulp is stimulated to produce pain.

If it is not convenient to seek timely medical attention when you have a toothache, you can try to use the following tips:

1, white wine: this mainly applies to swollen gums, there are a lot of people say that toothache mouth with a little wine can anesthetize the teeth and gums, to achieve the effect of pain, in fact, the improvement of the toothache is not the anesthetic effect of wine, but the bactericidal effect of wine, the local bacterial reduction (mouthwash at home can also be used if you have), the pain has improved.

2, ice: this is suitable for cold stimulation will not exacerbate the case of toothache, this time you can take out the ice from the refrigerator, wrapped in a towel (to prevent frostbite on the face) on the cheeks of the painful parts. The principle is that ice cooling, local blood flow slows down, the pulp congestion is reduced, the pain has improved.

3, drugs: this applies to the case of hidden tooth pain, taking cephalosporins or tinidazole anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers.

The above a few small method is actually just a soup to stop the boil, temporarily solve the urgent problem. Toothache is mostly caused by dental defects in the pith easily provoked, gum pain is mainly due to the long-term existence of dental calculus on the teeth caused by these two types of pain or the most perfect pain relief method to the hospital, according to the condition of the symptomatic treatment.

Like dental caries caused by acute pulpitis, that pain minutes to doubt life, like white wine, ice, painkillers are basically useless, the most enjoyable way is to go to the hospital to drill the teeth, take out the pulp in order to really relieve the pain.
