Why the tooth hurts after filling and other dental treatment

Often after the treatment of teeth, patients complain of pain. Whether it is normal or not, it is difficult to determine, because it all depends on the specificity of the clinical case.

But you can still draw an analogy between cases of pain after a certain kind of treatment. Let's consider the most typical cases from medical practice.

Filling of a tooth damaged by caries is a complex process:

• the prepared tooth cavity is prepared for the installation of the seal;
• on the bottom of the treated cavity is placed a special gasket, which promotes the formation of dentin;
• the seal is established;
• produced its grinding.

Such exposure to the tooth can cause the appearance of mild blunt pain, which completely passes for two weeks.

When the occurrence of pain is acceptable:

1. A small painful is considered normal when pressing or biting into a sealed tooth if it has been damaged by deep caries. The bottom of the cleared cavity in such cases is located very close to the nerve endings, and the inserted seal acts on the pulp. Unpleasant sensations pass after the pulp develops a sufficient amount of dentin, which forms a protective barrier. The duration of pain when pressing the seal varies from a week to several months, depending on the specific clinical case.
2. Sometimes a sealed tooth can respond to a cold or hot , which often occurs if a seal is inserted into its cervical part. In some cases, this can be caused by improper grinding of the seal: the edge overhanging the gum may cause inflammation, due to which the root of the tooth is exposed. When identifying such a problem, you need to see a doctor who will remove the "step" by grinding, and the pain will stop.

Quick help at home

Unpleasant sensations can cause chemical compounds that dentists use to flush the tooth canals. They in a minimal amount can get through the top of the root to the adjacent tissues, causing their irritation. Such pain with normal treatment disappears for three days.

Treatment of tooth canals - traumatic procedure

Often painful sensations when filling channels arise due to loose seal, which opens microbes access to bone tissue. Getting to the root of the tooth, they cause the appearance and rapid development of the inflammatory process, which can not be ignored. Progressing infection causes the formation of cysts or granulomas.

If a tooth suffers from a tooth filling, the dentists after the patient's complaint remove the previously installed seal and retreat the tooth roots.

The new seal is inserted only after radiography, which will confirm that the inflammatory process is cured. If the infection continues to develop, the patient may be treated with antibiotics.

The cause of the intolerable acute pain after treatment of the tooth can be weak immunity of the patient.

The dentist, before installing the seal, cleans the canal and seals it. The remaining microbes in the root of the tooth often die, and after treatment the patient does not feel unpleasant symptoms. But if the body is weakened, the microorganisms that remain in the canal can provoke the appearance of an inflammatory process, in which additional tooth treatment is performed.

Immediately after removal of the nerve, almost all patients have a toothache when pressed, which is the consequence of the sealing process, in which the doctor uses metal tools and antiseptics to treat the cleared cavity of the tooth.

This effect is an irritant to the root system, and can cause pain.

How long can the tooth hurt after removing the nerve?

Unpleasant sensations after removal of nerves often pass through the day. In some patients, they may appear throughout the month.

The reason for the panic of

It is not considered normal for a patient to have an acute pain after pain removal, giving back to whiskey, which is often amplified at night. This may indicate incorrect treatment:

Entrust cleaning teeth to professional

There are cases when after professional cleaning of teeth, patients complain of the pain. It can be caused by an incorrect procedure.

If the doctor has shown negligence, this can lead to damage to the enamel, which in turn will cause caries. Due to damage, the tooth can respond to pressure or temperature stimuli.
