What should I do if the tooth root is not extracted cleanly?

I believe that many people need to have their teeth extracted when treating dental diseases. However, some people have incomplete tooth extraction, which is what people often say: after anesthesia, the upper part of the teeth has been extracted, but the roots deep at the bottom have not been completely extracted. Sometimes it is done intentionally by the doctor, and sometimes it is the result of improper operation. Therefore, to solve the problem of not completely extracting the tooth root, we need to analyze the specific problem specifically.

What should I do if the tooth root is not extracted cleanly?

1. The treatment method for tooth extraction with roots not removed depends on the specific situation. If there is apical inflammation, the remaining roots should be removed. If there is no inflammation and the remaining roots are very small, they can be temporarily retained for observation. At the same time, we need to consider the location of the remaining tooth roots. If they are relatively small and not in a very good position, we may consider not extracting them.

2 It is best to take an X-ray to check the location of the residual root and the adjacent anatomical morphology before considering whether to remove it. If the root of the tooth that is broken inside does not grow long, there will generally be no problem. The small root tip is likely to be absorbed. If the root is too long, you should consider extracting it.

3. If you have a tooth root extracted, be careful not to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth within 24 hours, and do not eat hard or hot food. Be careful not to eat spicy food. Usually, you should also eat less raw, cold food and sweets. If the pain is severe, erythromycin and metronidazole can be used to relieve the pain.

Things to note if the tooth root is not extracted cleanly:

In order to avoid inflammation of the remaining tooth roots, patients must go for examination and correct treatment. If they need to be extracted, they must pay attention to post-treatment care. If they need to be retained temporarily, they must also pay attention to observation. If any abnormal situation occurs, they must seek medical attention in time.

Toothache care measures

1. Use a piece of Sichuan pepper and hold it on the decayed tooth to relieve the pain.

2. Bite a lilac flower into pieces with your teeth and fill the gaps in the decayed teeth. The toothache will disappear in a few hours and will last for a long time (lilac flowers can be purchased at Chinese medicine stores).

3. Rubbing the Hegu point (near the base of the hand) with water or massaging and pressing with your fingers can relieve pain.

4. Rinsing your mouth several times with salt water or wine can also relieve or stop toothache.

5. If your teeth hurt when exposed to heat, it is mostly caused by pus accumulation. You can use an ice pack to cool your cheeks to relieve the pain.

Tips for relieving toothache:

1. For stubborn toothache, it is best to take painkillers sublingually to temporarily relieve the pain.

2. Pain relief does not mean treatment. Pay attention to oral and dental hygiene to prevent toothache. When a toothache occurs and the above methods do not relieve the pain, you should go to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible.

3. The key to preventing toothache is to maintain oral hygiene. It is important to brush your teeth every morning and evening. Rinsing your mouth after meals is also a good idea.
