What should I do if my porcelain teeth ache?

From a clinical perspective, if a porcelain tooth experiences dull pain, it may be that the dental nerve has been damaged during the operation. Inflammation may also occur, and even night pain symptoms may occur. In this case, you must pay attention to care and avoid eating hard and irritating foods. In addition, you must pay attention to oral hygiene, actively brush your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and do not eat before going to bed at night.

1. Causes of dull pain in porcelain teeth

The dull pain in porcelain teeth may be caused by damage to the dental nerve, which will cause an inflammatory reaction in the dental nerve. Typical symptoms are pain from cold or hot stimulation, pain at night, and spontaneous pain. Normally prepared teeth will not experience spontaneous pain, and there will be no pain symptoms after wearing porcelain teeth.

2. Dietary care for porcelain teeth

1. After having porcelain teeth, patients should avoid eating hard food, because it takes time for patients to adapt to porcelain teeth. Therefore, if patients bite hard food before they have adapted well, it is likely to stimulate the porcelain teeth to compress the gums and other tissues, causing inflammation such as gingivitis. Even after the porcelain teeth have fully adapted to the oral environment, try not to chew on hard objects to avoid putting too much pressure on the porcelain teeth, which may cause deformation or porcelain collapse, and may even cause the porcelain teeth to fall off.

2. Regarding the question of how to care for porcelain teeth after surgery, experts point out that patients should not eat foods that are irritating to the body, because porcelain teeth are metal crowns and some chemical substances. Irritating foods may cause unstable performance and may easily react chemically with some irritating foods in life, such as: overly acidic foods. Certain ions in metal substances may be in a free state, which can easily irritate the gums and other parts of the body, causing some allergic reactions to the human body.

3. Cleaning and care of porcelain teeth

Oral hygiene is very important for patients after porcelain tooth surgery, so patients should pay attention to their living habits and eating habits. This can greatly increase the service life of porcelain teeth. If the patient does not develop a good habit of cleaning the mouth, food debris will accumulate in the tissues around the porcelain teeth, bacteria will breed, and oral diseases such as tooth decay will occur. Eventually, the porcelain teeth may need to be removed and remade. Therefore, patients should always pay attention to oral hygiene and develop the habit of brushing their teeth and rinsing their mouths after meals.
