What to do if the tooth nerve is damaged

There is an old saying: "Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal." Nowadays, people's teeth can no longer bear the pain because they eat candy or spicy food at night. In fact, the only part of the human body that cannot be repaired is the teeth. Teeth are very important. Some people have yellow teeth, which is mainly due to smoking too much. When your teeth hurt, it's usually the nerves that are hurting. So what should you do if the nerves are damaged?

Tooth decay and dental nerve necrosis require root canal treatment first.

Drill open the affected tooth to remove the necrotic dental nerve, prepare the root canal and seal it with medicine to reduce inflammation, and finally fill the root canal tightly. As long as the root canal treatment is done properly, apical periodontitis will generally not occur again.

Dentures are made by grinding your own teeth smaller and then taking a model.

A porcelain tooth like a cap is made on it, and its shape is consistent with that of a normal tooth. If the root of the affected tooth is relatively stable, there is no need to wear down the adjacent teeth.

Porcelain teeth are divided into metal-based crowns and all-ceramic ones.

Nickel-chromium alloy porcelain teeth among metals can easily discolor the gums and may be nephrotoxic, so they are not recommended. Other metals such as cobalt-chromium alloy, silver-palladium alloy, gold and gold will not have adverse effects. Metal teeth will affect CT, MRI and other examinations. If you are worried about this, you can choose all-ceramic teeth. If you have good financial conditions, you can choose zirconium dioxide, if you are economical, you can choose alumina, or cast porcelain. The specific situation needs to be decided according to the condition of your own teeth.

During tooth extraction, the nerve may be damaged due to the conflict between the tooth position and the nerve course.

The prognosis and recovery of this situation will vary depending on the degree of nerve damage. Minor nerve damage can recover on its own after a period of time and return to normal. Taking nerve nourishing drugs at the same time can speed up the recovery and reduce the impact of nerve damage. In cases where the nerves are severely damaged or even severed, the prognosis is very poor and may not be able to recover for life.

The nerve is killed so that the tooth no longer hurts.

Killing nerves is not harmful to the body, but it will have some impact on the teeth, because when the nerve dies, the tooth becomes a dead tooth. Dead teeth have no nutritional supplements, and will age and become fragile over time. At this time, it is necessary to provide protection for it, and this protection is porcelain braces. Generally, it costs about 500 to 600 yuan and can be used for three to five years. Of course, if you want to use it for a long time, you have to spend more money.
