Where Did Pulpitis Come From?
Often, having heard this diagnosis from the doctor, patients do not understand what the problem is, and what part of the tooth the dentist is going to treat. Let's figure it out together!
Pulpitis - inflammation of the bundle of nerve endings in the tooth. Accordingly, such a disease is accompanied by sharp pain, twitching and other, no less "pleasant" symptoms:
- pain increases dramatically when a person is in a supine position;
- there is a feeling that the pain is dissipating;
- there is often an impression that the pain in the tooth is throbbing;
- pressure pain;
- redness of the gum area around the diseased tooth;
- edema
- acute reaction to sweet, cold and sour.
It is very dangerous and extremely unbearable to ignore pulpitis, because it can turn into acute periodontitis, damage the bone tissues of the tooth, and in the worst cases, even fatal. Treatment of such a disease should begin immediately, because the process itself is quite long and troublesome.
Pulpitis treatment
Yes, this is an unpleasant, painful and quite traumatic disease for the tooth, however, unfortunately, we quite often meet this problem in our patients. That is why our dentists are well versed in the technique and algorithm for the treatment of pulpitis. In fact, the whole process of saving a tooth from inflammation of the nerve endings is as follows:
- 1st step - Anesthesia. An anesthetic is administered locally to the patient, blocking the pain sensation caused by irritated nerve endings.
- 2nd step - Pulp removal. The damaged nerve must be removed by drilling channels in the tooth.
- 3rd step - Cleaning and filling. The dentist cleans the root canals and fills them with a permanent filling.
Be attentive to your health and regularly consult with your dentist, because untimely treatment of pulpitis leads to that the disease penetrates into the deep layers of dental tissues, into the root canals, from where bacteria enter, only into the jaw. This process is inevitable and will lead to tooth loss. Choose a painless and effective treatment at our clinic and save your tooth immediately. During the process, we use the latest equipment, leading methods and high-quality licensed products.
