How many days does acute pulpitis usually hurt?

Toothache is a common phenomenon in our daily life. Sometimes toothache is intermittent. When it is not occurring, there is no feeling and it is the same as usual. Once it occurs, the pain is very severe. Sometimes it occurs during meals, making it difficult to eat. Sometimes toothache symptoms occur during sleep, which affects sleep. Lack of sleep will have a great impact on a person's physical development and mental state. As for the causes of toothache, acute pulpitis is a very common cause. Many people are troubled by this disease and have great doubts about how long the pain will last. Here we will introduce how many days the pain of acute pulpitis usually lasts.

The presence of acute pulpitis will have various effects on the teeth. In addition, the presence of pulpitis is relatively internal to the teeth. If it is not treated properly, the internal position of the teeth will be further damaged, thereby causing various toothaches and even causing damage to the hard texture of the teeth. Therefore, it must be taken seriously and effectively treated.

After acute pulpitis occurs, toothache will also occur. Because the inflammation effectively damages the inside of the tooth, pain will follow. The degree of pain will also vary depending on the degree of inflammation. Such differences will eventually lead to various unbearable pain situations.

Generally speaking, the pain days of acute pulpitis are about 3-7 days. Because the number of pain days varies from person to person, the inflammation situation of each person after suffering from acute pulpitis is different, and the condition of the teeth themselves is also different, so it is normal to have toothache, but the specific number of days cannot be fully confirmed.

However, when acute pulpitis occurs, if anti-inflammatory drugs are taken in time, it can usually be completely cured in about 3 to 7 days, and such inflammation will gradually and significantly suppress the pain after starting to take the medication.

Therefore, in the case of acute pulpitis, the pain will generally last for 3 to 7 days. Since the specific situation of each person is different, the duration of the pain will also be different. However, generally after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, the treatment effect can be achieved within 3-7 days, and various painful conditions can be avoided from continuing.

treat:

The principle of treatment is to preserve the living pulp or the affected tooth. For emergency treatment, the pulp can be opened to reduce pressure. After rinsing with warm salt water, analgesics (such as camphor phenol, eugenol or small cotton balls such as toothache water) are placed in the caries cavity to temporarily relieve pain. At the same time, anti-inflammatory and analgesics are taken. After the pain is relieved for 1 to 2 days, the following can be selected depending on the specific situation of the affected tooth:

1. Pulpotomy;

2. Dry pulp surgery;

3. Pulp plasticization or root canal treatment.

If the tooth has no value in preservation, it can be extracted to relieve the patient's pain and prevent the disease from spreading further.

Symptoms and signs

1. Severe pain, the nature of the pain has the following characteristics:

(1) Spontaneous paroxysmal pain;

(2) Night pain;

(3) Temperature stimulation exacerbates pain;

(4) The pain cannot be localized by oneself.

2. The affected teeth may be found to have deep caries or other tooth hard tissue diseases very close to the pulp cavity, or there may be fillings on the crowns, or deep periodontal pockets.

3. Probing often causes severe pain, and sometimes tiny perforations can be detected.

4. During the temperature test, the affected teeth react extremely sensitively. The pain may persist for some time after the stimulus is removed. When conducting a pulp vitality test, the affected tooth will have increased responsiveness in the early inflammation stage, while it will be sluggish in the late inflammation stage.

5. Teeth in late-stage inflammation may experience mild vertical percussion pain.
