What to do if toothache is caused by tooth decay

Tooth decay is often caused by not paying attention to oral health and hygiene. To treat the pain caused by tooth decay, you can take medication to help kill bacteria and relieve pain, or you can rinse your mouth with salt water or cold water to relieve pain.

1. Drug treatment : For drug treatment, if toothache is caused by tooth decay, you need to take metronidazole sterilization and painkillers or painkillers such as ibuprofen.

2. Tooth extraction: Tooth extraction is the most direct way. Just pull out the decayed tooth, then stop the bleeding, eat less spicy food, and take a painkiller! Finally, press a denture!

3. Pulpitis: Pulpitis requires root canal treatment at the dental department. You can have root canal treatment, or you can temporarily take some medicines orally. The so-called root canal is the cavity in the middle of the tooth root. The so-called root canal treatment is to make a hole in the tooth surface through dental instruments, remove or kill the residual nerves in the root canal, and then place anti-inflammatory cotton wool twists in the root canal to eliminate tooth inflammation. If there is no inflammation, the tooth will not hurt. The last step is to remove the cotton wool, fill the cavity with root filling medicine, and then seal the drilled hole during treatment!

4 Folk remedies: gargling with salt water, gypsum water, or cold water can delay toothache to a certain extent, but cannot cure it.
