Dental pulpitis treatment

You should visit a dentist for dental diseases prevention and oral cavities twice a year. However, unfortunately, in the hustle and bustle of working days, people neglect this quite simple rule that results in big money spending and unpleasant feelings. The pulpitis also relates to the diseases, which may be prevented. It is a painful inflammation, which may lead to complications, if it is not treated on time.

The pulpitis is the inflammatory process of neurovascular bundle of a tooth (pulp). The pulp is often called as a nerve. The untimely treated tooth decay is the main reason for the pulpitis. The pulpitis is the infectious complication from the tooth decay. The pulpitis also occurs as the result of different pathologic processes in oral cavity and dental injuries.

If you want to get rid of the pulpitis as soon as possible, with minimum negative consequences, make an appointment for consultation with a dentist in Oxford Medical center.

SYMPTOMS AND POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS OF THE PULPITIS

The symptoms of the pulpitis include:

• spontaneous toothache;
  
• throbbing toothache;
• high dental sensitivity to the temperature;

The sensation of pain may irradiate to neighboring teeth and temple. The pain mainly appears at night that causes insomnia, sickness and diminishes working capacity. Before the tooth is cured, it represents a chronic focal point of infection. The asymptomatic disease course is also possible; the pulpitis may be chronic and acute.

If you do not take any treatment measures, it will result in the loss of a tooth as well as the transition to its advanced stage – periodontitis. At the same time, the tissue, surrounding a tooth, will become inflamed, resulting in formation of granulomas and cysts. It is more difficult to treat the periodontitis than the pulpitis. If the treatment started on time, the outcome will be, as a rule, favorable.

PULPITIS DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT

It is important to diagnose a disease correctly, because the medical malpractice may be costly. That is why the specialists of Oxford Medical clinic are very scrupulous about diagnosing the dental disease. The intensity and frequency of pain attacks are specified in detail, while communicating with the patient. The X-ray diagnosis or CT scan are performed additionally. The combination of a personal examination of the dentist and X-ray examination allows precisely determining the form of a disease and prescribing necessary treatment.

The specialists of Oxford Medical clinic perform the pulpitis treatment, using the newest pain relief remedies, methods and equipment. The dentist individually determines a number of visits, needed for treatment of each patient.

The pulpitis treatment starts from the full opening of dental cavity, extirpation of the remaining pulp and rinsing the root canals. Then, the temporary and permanent filling of root canals (depending on the situation or stage of the pulpitis) and the restoration of the crown part of a tooth by restoration and crown are performed.

In Oxford Medical clinic, the pulpitis is treated, using three methods:

• biological (removal of inflammation, healing the pulp with calcium containing medications);
  
• partial removal of the pulp (performed on the milk teeth);
• removal of the pulp (full removal of the nerve with the filling).

To assess the effectiveness of treatment of the root canals, the control X-ray examination is performed after sealing and in 1-1.5 years that allows identifying the presence or absence of inflammatory processes in the area of the root end. The clinical implications (bad breath, swelling, pain etc) are gone in 7-14 days after the beginning of treatment. It allows starting the restoration of the crown part of a tooth in several days after completion of the root canal treatment.
