Treatment of pulpitis

Pulpitis is a commonly used term for nerve inflammation (inflammation of the tooth pulp or inflammation of the vascular nerve bundle).

Our doctors have collected complete information about pulpitis - its features and treatment methods.

The first reason that causes pulpitis is, of course, caries (you will learn about caries and how to deal with it in this article - believe me, something may be a revelation for you).

The next cause of pulpitis (rarely) is insufficient rinsing of the etching gel during the restoration of teeth with composite materials. When preparing the hard tissues of the tooth without water cooling, the pulp overheats, causing the pulp to become inflamed. You don't need to be a doctor to understand this.

Patient complaints - symptoms of pulpitis

As soon as the patient enters the office and says: "Doctor! I am in so much pain! This pain prevents me from living, sleeping, eating and drinking! Doctor, help me! "

It is then that the dentist will suspect that you have an inflammation of the vascular nerve bundle (pulpitis). The symptoms of pulpitis are clear, it is simply impossible not to pay attention to them! This is a sharp pain that becomes stronger in the evening or at night, you may feel that you are disturbed by a toothache in your sleep. The tooth reacts to cold and heat, and sometimes to loud noises. The pain may subside for a while and then reappear.

Remember, the only way to diagnose and properly treat pulpitis is to visit a dentist. A specialist will determine pulpitis both visually and with the help of an X-ray. Most often, both methods are used, since pulpitis can be confused with diseases that have similar symptoms (for example, "Periodontitis").

Untreated pulpitis can have serious complications. Inflammation begins in the ligaments of the tooth (periodontium), which can lead to periodontitis or complete tooth loss.

Sometimes complications arise due to poor-quality tooth treatment (improper filling of the tooth canals). Therefore, after the root canal filling procedure, be sure to take an X-ray. It will help the dentist to make sure that the treatment was of high quality. In most cases, people do not go to the clinic because of the fear of pain. Only high-quality anesthesia is used at Oleksiuk Dentistry, so the procedure is completely painless. The only thing that remains unpleasant is an injection into the gums for anesthesia. But compared to the pain of pulpitis, this is just an unpleasant moment.

Is it possible to treat pulpitis with folk remedies?

Pulpitis is treated only in a dental clinic. Self-treatment is impossible here! It is a pity to hear the stories of patients who tried to cure pulpitis with folk remedies (such as compresses or applying garlic to the gums). These folk methods of treating pulpitis will lead you to even more irritated gum mucosa or a burn. As a result, a person suffers not only from toothache but also from gum damage. Treating pulpitis at home with folk remedies is dangerous!

It will be better if you take better care of your oral hygiene and visit the dentist at least 2 times a year.

Conclusion - treatment of pulpitis requires complex techniques that directly depend on properly selected dental instruments, filling and medicinal materials. Oleksiuk Dentistry always uses every opportunity to maintain normal tooth vitality after pulp treatment.

Don't suffer from toothache! Go to dentistry in time. Our clinic will provide you with qualified dental care and eliminate pulpitis at any stage.

Periodontitis is a complication of caries.

First of all, the tooth pulp is inflamed - its destruction occurs. Then the inflammatory process goes beyond the pulp and involves the ligamentous apparatus of the periosteum and bone.

Symptoms of periodontitis

Everyone knows the symptoms of periodontitis. A person has a feeling that a tooth has been pushed out (the feeling of a "protruding tooth" or "big tooth"). At the slightest pressure on the tooth or biting, severe pain is felt. There may also be redness in the area of the tooth.

There may be a complication, such as a fistula (a purulent disease that is an inflammation of the canal that connects the tooth itself and the outer part of the gum).

Treatment of periodontitis is mandatory, as further spread of the infection can lead to more serious diseases, such as periostitis (flux) and osteomyelitis. You also need to take into account that the most important human organs are located nearby - eyes, brain, etc., and periodontitis is a serious inflammatory process in the body that can be a catalyst for other sores.

You should immediately visit a dentist with a periodontitis problem.

We can say right away that home treatment of periodontitis can only take place in its initial stages. Further qualified treatment can only be provided by a dentist. In dentistry "Oleksiuk" periodontitis treatment is carried out with the help of the latest technologies and means available in our world.

The treatment takes place in several stages. (Get ready for repeated visits to the dentist):

• First, an X-ray of the tooth is taken.
• With the help of the best modern anesthesia, pain relief is provided.
• Then the tooth cavity is opened - all the tissues affected by caries are removed, and access to the root canals is also opened.
• Necrotized pulp may be separated.
• If you have previously had your canals poorly sealed, then unsealing will be performed.
• Then, using special tools and technologies, the length of the root canals will be determined.
• Next, the root canals are mechanically processed - this is necessary for their expansion and for further high-quality filling of the canals.
• Then we treat the periodontitis itself. We inject medicinal substances that have antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory effects through the open tooth crown. Thanks to these medications, the inflammation is relieved. The bone tissue and ligamentous apparatus of the tooth are formed again.
• A temporary filling is applied.
• After all inflammatory processes have subsided, you can start filling the tooth. At this stage, periodontitis can be considered curable. All that remains is to place a permanent filling, take a control X-ray and satisfy all the patient's aesthetic needs.
