Treatment of pulpitis
Pulpitis is the appearance of an inflammatory process in the soft tissues of the tooth. It develops due to the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms from the cavity affected by caries into the pulp. The infection is accompanied by excruciating toothache with sharp, piercing flare-ups. When the pulp is affected, you need to call a dental clinic immediately. Denta PRO dentistry helps patients get rid of pain caused by pulpitis.
The main task of dentists is to provide timely help and cure the diseased tooth. Dental clinic in Dnepropetrovsk provides services 7 days a week. Every patient will appreciate the high level of professionalism of our staff. Dentists conduct a thorough examination of the affected part of the tooth, make a diagnosis with the help of an apparatus, determine the exact location of the infection, diagnose the degree of inflammation and offer effective treatment methods. Dentists don't recommend waiting until the critical moment - a visit to the dentist's office every 4 months is an opportunity to keep your teeth healthy. Professionalism of our doctors and modern digital diagnostics help to diagnose a disease at the stage of initial development. This simplifies treatment and helps patients to keep their teeth healthy.
Causes of pulpitis and its consequences
At the bottom of the tooth is the pulp, which can become inflamed due to infection. The cause of pulpitis is usually considered to be neglected and advanced dental caries. Infection of a large part of the tooth tissue by pathogenic organisms is accompanied by the descent of the infection to the pulp and its impact on blood vessels and nerves. Because of this, the patient feels acute pain.
In addition to the causes described above, there may be other factors that precede the disease.
- Poor-quality dental service due to the use of a filling material of poor quality, improper grinding of the tooth, or trauma to the nerve during treatment.
- Reaction to chemicals used in dentistry: composite, antiseptic, acid.
If the pulpitis is not treated, there is a risk of negative consequences for the body:
- purulent bone marrow damage;
- tooth loss;
- abscess;
- infection of the soft tissue;
- periostitis (damage to the peri-mandibular tissue);
- sepsis;
- internal organ dysfunction caused by toxic products of harmful microflora.
Do not self-treat with pain pills, go to Dental Clinic Denta PRO. If you make an appointment in advance, each patient will get a consultation with a professional and competent treatment of caries or pulpitis. Our clinic uses safe anesthesia, with which the treatment goes without pain and discomfort.
Treatment of pulpitis
Pulpitis is indicated by the following signs:
- The presence of an acute, throbbing pain that lasts more than a week;
- Pain that occurs when eating cold, hot, or sweet foods;
- Dark decayed stain on the tooth enamel;
- An unpleasant odor coming out of the mouth.
This symptomatology occurs as the inflammation develops.
Pulpitis comes in 3 types: serous, acute focal and diffuse. In the first type, the infection has only entered the body and develops without purulent mucus. The second type is characterized by the appearance of pus in the inner part of the tooth. Diffuse pulpitis is characterized by deep penetration of the infection and lesion of the root part of the pulp. Advanced disease of the third type develops into a chronic course. Several forms of such pulpitis are distinguished.
- Fibrous - in it a large carious cavity is formed.
- Hypertrophic - the fusion of two cavities (dental and carious). It forms a polyp of connective tissue.
- Gangrenous - the pulp disintegrates and there is a smell of rot from the oral cavity.
- Aggravated - characterized by painful attacks. This disease increases the risk of bone tissue damage, which can lead to periodontitis.
Pulpitis treatment at Denta PRO
The serous and acute stage of the inflammatory process can be treated without removing the nerve. In such cases, the dentist sanitizes the tissue with antiseptic agents, treats caries, and restores the tooth with fillings and restorations. If the pulpitis has purulent deposits or lesions of the root, the dentist performs endodontic treatment.
This method is performed in several steps.
- Radiological examination of the affected part of the tooth. During diagnosis, the nature of the inflammation is determined and the structure of the root canals is analyzed.
- Removal of the affected parts of the tooth.
- Impalement.
- Careful cleaning of the root canals.
- Treatment of the tissues with disinfectants.
- Filling the root canals.
- Tooth restoration.
Denta PRO dentists use advanced methods for pulpitis treatment that allow treating different stages of the disease, using endodontic treatment for complications of infection and wisdom teeth.
Our dentists treat without pain, take care of every patient and use innovative techniques for treatment and diagnosis. The most reliable method for keeping teeth healthy is preventive measures. Doctors at Denta PRO Dental Clinic recommend that you have a professional check-up once every 4 months. Timely preventive care saves money that would have to be spent if the abscess had been neglected. Healthy teeth guarantee a beautiful radiant smile.
At the first consultation, the doctor will tell you in detail about which teeth need to be treated first, about the condition of your gums and about which design you need to choose in order to fill in the missing teeth.
About what actions and manipulations need to be carried out. Learn how to take good care of your mouth so you don't have to go to the dentist as often as possible.
After discussing the above aspects, your dentist will draw up a treatment plan, guide you by the stages, timing, cost of the upcoming treatment, make, if necessary, computer diagnostics of the teeth and make an appointment for you at a convenient time for you to start treatment.
It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
