Treating tooth pulpitis with folk remedies: recipes and tips

Pulpitis is an inflammation of the tissue that fills the tooth cavity and ensures its growth and nutrition of the pulp. Basically, the disease manifests itself as a result of infection in the tooth layers damaged by caries, which previously had not been treated.

Sometimes pulpitis may occur with mechanical trauma.

Unpleasant acquaintance with pulpitis

Symptoms of pulpitis are vomiting, sharp paroxysmal pains, the spread of which can be carried out along the branches of the trigeminal nerve. Painful sensations are more pronounced in the evening and at night with intermissions between attacks of 2-3 hours.

In the end, the pulp dies, and if untimely treatment of the tooth can become inflamed the root membrane. With the further development of periodontitis, the tooth becomes painful when tapping and pressing. The main symptoms of a neglected disease is the inflammation of the submaxillary lymph nodes that surround the gums with long and aching pains.

If the pathology is not treated, then a basal granuloma spreading the infection in the body may appear. Neoplasm can grow into a radical cyst.

There are two main methods for treating pulpitis - surgical and biological. The main goal of the treatment is getting the patient out of pain, eliminating the inflammatory focus and restoring the integrity of the tooth.

Biological method of treatment is used in acute focal pulpitis, chronic form of fibrous pulpitis, accidental dissection of pulp.

After anesthesia, the tooth is isolated by a cofferdam or rollers, necrotic enamel and dentin tissues are eliminated. After processing the tissues with antiseptic, drugs are placed on the pulp, which relieve tension and inflammation in it.

If the pain continues, then surgical treatment( devital and vital) is used. The vital method is based on the partial or complete elimination of the pulp without prior killing. In the devital method, a special preparation is applied, followed by amputation or extirpation of the pulp.
