Toothache is not a disease. It hurts like hell. Many people find toothache before they go for plastic surgery. There are many kinds of dental diseases that cause toothache. Some patients with pulpitis have no pain before they are cured, thinking that they have recovered and do not need treatment. Then, the dentist of plastic surgery in Liang Ya, Beijing will answer with you that pulpitis doesn't hurt, so you don't need to treat it? I hope I can help you.

Toothache is caused by dental pulp inflammation, and pulpitis is mostly caused by dental caries, but it won't hurt at first. Pain only occurs when dental caries develop close to the pulp, but it is often caused by hot, cold, sweet and sour food. When dental caries develop to cause pulpitis, the pain is very severe.

The characteristics of pulpitis pain are as follows:

① Spontaneous pain occurs without any stimulation.

② pulpitis often hurts at night, and it hurts too much to stay awake at night. Third, the pain of pulpitis is not located, and patients can't tell which toothache it is, often one side or one piece.

Doesn't pulpitis need treatment if it doesn't hurt?

Once the inflammation of pulp occurs, it will not heal itself. What's more serious is that pulpitis will deteriorate to the end and lead to pulp death, which is called pulp necrosis in medicine. Some patients take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs for toothache, which is of no help. Some patients feel that their teeth are gone after a few days of toothache, thinking that they are all right. In fact, pulpitis develops towards pulp necrosis. After a period of time, bacteria and bacterial dental pulp toxins in necrotic dental pulp can spread out of the apical part of teeth through the apical foramen, causing periapical periodontitis and toothache. Therefore, it is not excluded that it is a sign that pulpitis is developing into a bad state. You can't simply think that your teeth will get better if they don't hurt.

Tip from Liang Ya: At present, the treatment of pulpitis is mainly "root canal filling". At present, it is the most commonly used method to preserve the diseased teeth in the world to remove the pulp at the crown root and then seal the root canal tightly with root canal filling agent. Pulpitis is a completely treatable disease. Patients should not be afraid of medical treatment, and drag the acute one into a chronic one and then seek medical treatment. As far as prevention is concerned, the most important thing is to prevent dental caries, develop good tooth protection and use habits, and pay attention to oral hygiene. more
