Still hurts after root canal treatment

If the toothache is caused by pulp disease, many patients cannot bear it. Therefore, the emergence of root canal treatment technology can effectively help patients reduce pain. However, some patients still experience tooth pain after root canal treatment. Why is this? In fact, this has a lot to do with the doctor's treatment method and the patient's recovery effect after surgery. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons.

When doing root canal treatment, the main steps are cleaning, preparation, shaping, disinfection and filling. The doctor's technique and the hospital's level may lead to

The patient's chances of success and postoperative recovery. This is why some patients experience more tooth pain after root canal treatment than before.

This is mainly because apical periodontitis has developed into a chronic disease and the patient himself will not feel obvious symptoms. However, when they came to the hospital for root canal treatment

When cleaning the root canal, a small amount of debris and bacteria may be pushed to the periapex, causing some patients to experience severe pain after treatment.

. This situation will usually be relieved or even disappear within 2 to 3 days. If you cannot tolerate it, you should seek medical attention promptly.

Warm reminder: Generally speaking, teeth will not hurt after root canal treatment because there is no dental nerve. However, some patients report that their teeth still hurt after root canal treatment. At this time, you should go to the doctor for a follow-up visit in time to see what caused the problem.

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure in dentistry that treats pulp necrosis and root infection. This procedure preserves the tooth and thus complements tooth extraction. The surgery is complicated and usually requires 2-4 visits to complete. The patient also suffers greater pain.

Indications

1. Pulpitis: The dental pulp becomes inflamed due to bacterial infection. The dental pulp is in a sealed pulp cavity and is generally not infected by bacteria. When the tooth has a hole due to caries and the hole is too deep, external bacteria will invade the pulp cavity and infect the pulp.

2. Apical periodontitis: After the dental pulp is infected by bacteria, the bacteria will invade the alveolar bone through the apical foramen, causing inflammation of the tissues around the root apex. As long as the infected pulp is removed, the apical inflammation will subside.

3. Exposed pulp: When a tooth is broken and the dental nerve is exposed, root canal treatment is generally required.
