Almost every person in his life had to suffer from acute toothache. At such times, you want to kill, destroy the dental nerve, which is the cause of painful spasms.
The tooth consists of a solid part that is located outside, and an inner soft fibrous tissue - a pulp filling the cavity of the tooth.
The pulp is represented by lymphatic and blood vessels, as well as nerves. After removing the pulp( depulpation), the tooth is considered dead, which eventually leads to its complete or partial destruction.
When to go for the "murder" of
When a destructive process begins in the mouth, nerves send pain signals to the human brain, forcing him to run to the dentist.
Certain signs make it clear that the problem exists precisely in the nerve, and not in the gums or in the increased sensitivity of the enamel:
- excruciating sensations that have arisen suddenly;
- is painful and prolonged;
- increased pain when changing body position and when moving;
- suffering intensifies at night;
- reaction to cold, sweet and moist stimuli;
- with the removal of irritants, the pain subsides gradually;
- appearance of confidence that all the neighboring teeth are aching.
In cases where not only the upper hard layer is damaged, but also a part of the pulp, the dentist has to decide whether an operation is necessary to remove the nerve.
For example, in pulpitis, which has passed into a more dangerous periodontitis, the pulp and nerve are completely removed, but there are cases of partial removal.
It is necessary to kill the nerve before the removal procedure, so that the patient does not suffer from unthinkable pain. In deep carious processes, even if the pulp is not affected, the nerve is also subject to destruction with subsequent removal.
The indication for the removal operation is also strong mechanical damage to the tooth, obtained by jabbing accidentally or intentionally.
The goal - to calm and pacify
There are situations in life when there is no possibility to consult a doctor in the near future, and the tooth hurts so that the sufferer wants to climb walls.
And before killing the nerve, it makes sense to try to calm it down, using some recommendations for the removal of the pain:
- Garlic and salt grind and attach to a sick tooth. When swollen gums rinse mouth with garlic broth.
- If it is known that a specialist visit is postponed indefinitely, you can prepare the tincture from comfrey .To do this, put 2 tsp.plants in 50 mg of alcohol for 10 days. With pains, the fleece, moistened in the resulting solution, is applied to the tooth until it calms down.
- 1hour.salt dissolve in a glass of warm water and how to rinse your mouth.
- Shredded propolis, pour a glass of 70% alcohol , place in a dark place, and after 1.5 weeks strain through gauze. The cotton wool soaked in the resulting composition should be applied to the tooth in order to ease the "nervous dental restlessness".
- Dilute 3% hydrogen peroxide with water in a ratio of 2: 1, and put the cotton wool soaked in this solution onto the tooth that is disturbing. After the disappearance of pain, rinse the mouth with the same composition.
- The onion husk , apart from pain relief, is an excellent disinfectant. To prepare the broth you need 3 tablespoons.shells pour hot water and bring to a boil. Then strain and leave for a few hours "gaining usefulness."Rinse during the day 5-6 times.
- Infusions of sage, chamomile, thyme, lemon balm, mint, bacon, oak bark .The main condition-broths should be used for rinsing only in a warm form.
Goal - killing
Before you kill the dental nerve yourself at home, you need a toothbrush with toothpaste to remove the plaque and the remaining food so that the suppuration does not start.
Then, disinfect the needle and clean the hollow of the tooth with utmost caution. The preparation with an antiseptic is completed with a mouth rinse.
So, what can kill the nerve in the tooth:
- Arsenic .For depulpation in dentistry, pastes are used, which include arsenious acid, but not
itself in pure form. With an arsenic dose of 5 mg, an intoxication can occur in a person, so do not be involved in amateur activities. - Zinc .Zinc is obtained from a printing ink by a hand-picked method. First, a plate is processed with alcohol, on which a small newspaper piece fits. It should have the maximum number of images, inscriptions, etc., in order to extract as much as possible of the desired substance. Then the paper sheet is ignited, and the resulting ash is collected with a sterile cotton fleece and placed in the prepared channel. From above everything is closed with another piece of cotton wool. The remedy is kept in the tooth for about half a day.
- Acetic essence of .A small piece of cotton wool is moistened in acetic essence and placed in the tooth channel. This manipulation should be done very carefully so as not to touch the gums and not burn soft tissues and mucous membranes.
- Alcohol .As in the case of essences, a cotton wool soaked in alcohol fits into the hollow of the damaged tooth.
If the above methods are performed correctly, the nerve will be killed. Understanding will come at a time when the pain disappears.
And if there are no changes for the better, do not delay the visit to the dentist. Particularly self-medication is dangerous in that as a result of poor-quality canal cleaning, infection can develop.
Even in the absence of pain in the future, you need to visit a doctor in a couple of weeks. And do not be afraid, because the pain does not yet say that removal of the nerve is inevitable. But in any case, the doctor will have to examine the patient tooth before making a decision.
Only the inability to resort to professional help, can justify independent actions to kill the nerve. Because such activities can cause significant harm to health.
Your teeth and gums need constant care. As a preventive measure to prevent the appearance of caries and inflammation of the gums, you can lubricate them with aloe juice, rinse your mouth with infusion from the bark of oak, chew honey wax combs. Thus, it will be possible to get rid of many diseases of the oral cavity.
