Tell you a story called root canal therapy

Root canal treatment is simple descprition

Elderly people often say that toothache is not a disease, and it hurts to kill people. In fact, when the tooth is at the stage where it hurts and kills, then this tooth is likely to receive root canal treatment. In fact, most elderly people don’t know what a root canal is. Treatment, but the old people have “home remedies”. For example, chewing pepper, containing white wine, eating garlic, applying ice cubes, biting ginger… If it doesn’t hurt, you think your dental disease is better. Well, just don’t go to the hospital to see your teeth. What can you do?

In fact, these remedies paralyze the oral muscles and cause the illusion that the teeth are not painful. Whether it is a remedy or an analgesic, when the teeth have pulpitis symptoms, these methods cannot effectively enter the pulp cavity to exert its anti-inflammatory and sterilization properties. effect. Once pulpitis occurs, it is usually irreversible. Any anti-inflammatory treatment can only help slow down this process, but it cannot stop it.

“It’s better if it doesn’t hurt” is the current attitude of many people towards toothaches. When they encounter “strong-willed” they can bear it. After dragging the pain for a few years, there are only unrepairable roots left. It’s a big deal! In fact, if teeth are missing, let alone the high cost of fillings, more people are not aware of the dangers of missing teeth. If one tooth is missing, the teeth on both sides and the corresponding upper teeth will lose occlusal support. Relying on it will gradually tilt and loosen, and gradually will have dental health problems. Therefore, it is necessary to treat your teeth as soon as possible.

When you encounter symptoms such as persistent tooth sensitivity, pain when exposed to cold and heat, spontaneous pain, darkening of the teeth, and pustules in the gums, it is impossible to get root canal treatment in all likelihood. This treatment is called real pain. Root canal therapy, commonly known as killing nerves, generally, root canal therapy is to drill and open the teeth under local anesthesia. If the patient can tolerate it, use a barbed needle to extract the pulpal nerve directly, and then put it in the root canal. Anti-inflammatory cotton wool. Although the nerve is killed, this tooth loses its life without the nourishment provided by the dental pulp. The originally hard and white teeth will become black and brittle, break more easily, and shorten the service life of the tooth. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a full crown restoration to protect it. Teeth that have killed nerves.

The distribution of tooth nerves is complex, the root canal treatment procedures are complicated, the operation is delicate, and the tooth extraction is time-consuming and laborious. It cannot be done all at once, nor is it done once and for all. For severe cases, several re-examinations are required from the first diagnosis to the end of treatment. The success of root canal treatment requires long-term maintenance. At present, most dentists in the world believe that the time is 2 to 4 years.

Root canal treatment mainly cleans the main root canal and the larger lateral root canal and fills it well. All the pulp must be thoroughly cleaned, and all root canals must be filled? Impossible. Tooth root nerves are like tree roots intertwined. It is impossible in my life to clean and fill them. Even a very professional doctor can maintain the teeth well after treatment. The success rate of ensuring no swelling, pain, and inflammation within 5 years after root canal treatment is only 80%.

Finally, I remind everyone, do not to wait until the pulp is rotten and dragged out. It may cause acute pulpitis, acute apical inflammation, etc. that sounds painful, but in fact, there are even more painful root canal treatments. Tooth problems, early detection, early treatment, less cost, less suffering! Poor people should brush their teeth regularly, wash and protect their teeth.
