Can I fill my tooth when it hurts?

Everyone has experienced toothache caused by tooth decay. This is mainly because you don’t brush your teeth well and like to eat sweets too much, so you should pay more attention to your diet and hygiene. For toothache caused by tooth decay, we must first treat the toothache and then choose a time to fill the tooth. Filling the tooth requires cleaning the teeth, and it should be done when the tooth is no longer painful, so as to minimize damage to the nerves.

Can you get a filling when you have a toothache? The answer is no. Most patients experience swollen gums when they have toothache. In this case, filling the tooth will make the patient's pain more severe and will not be conducive to the doctor's diagnosis of the condition. The doctor will prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for the patient to take. Filling can only be done when the patient’s tooth is no longer painful and the gums are no longer swollen. The more common drugs include metronidazole tablets and cephalosporin antibiotics. Of course, some patients will also be asked to use toothache syrup. This topical medication also has a good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

Patients must maintain a light diet during this period. They can eat more bitter gourd and drink a small amount of mung bean soup or barley soup. This type of food also has a good anti-inflammatory effect.

There are many things that patients need to pay attention to when filling their teeth. Before having a tooth filled, the patient must pay attention to oral hygiene, and when choosing a tooth filling institution, must choose a regular public hospital. Most public comprehensive hospitals have dental departments that can perform tooth fillings. Although many small roadside clinics now claim to be able to fill teeth, the effectiveness of their fillings is really worrying.
