How to Relieve Pain When a Tooths Nerve Is Exposed?
Exposed dental nerve is a serious condition, indicating that the tooth becomes extremely sensitive. Once in contact with overly cold or hot food, it is prone to causing significant throbbing pain, causing significant discomfort to the patient. In case of exposed dental nerve, local anesthetic injection can be administered to relieve pain, or clove oil cotton balls or lidocaine cotton balls can be placed for relief, which can alleviate pain within a short period of time.
How to relieve the pain of exposed dental nerve? Methods that can provide rapid pain relief include: local anesthetic injection, mainly infiltration anesthesia and block anesthesia. By injecting 2% lidocaine or articaine, the anesthetic can be injected into the mucosa, periodontal membrane, or periodontal ligament. Relief can be achieved within 2-3 minutes. During anesthesia, the anesthetic is injected near the main trunk or branches of the nerve to anesthetize the dental nerve, surrounding mucosa, and alveolar bone.
If there is obvious caries or exposure of the dental crown, clove oil cotton balls or cotton balls soaked in polidocanol can be placed on the exposed pulp point to provide rapid pain relief.
How to care for exposed dental nerve? Once the dental nerve is exposed, it will not only affect our normal life but also prevent the teeth from contacting foods with large temperature differences, which can significantly reduce our quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to dental care in daily life and strive to clean the teeth every six months, as dental calculus is the main culprit causing exposed dental nerve. Only by removing dental calculus can we ensure gingival health.
