What is the reason for sore gums

The health of teeth is very important to us. It is no exaggeration to say that teeth can determine the quality of our life. Good teeth are necessary for us to taste delicious food, so we should pay special attention to protecting our teeth in daily life. So what causes sore gums? This phenomenon does not rule out pulpitis, which is dental neuralgia. Let me introduce it to you in detail below.

Clinical manifestations

The toothache of acute pulpitis is spontaneous and paroxysmal, especially at night. The pain is short at first, but as the disease progresses, the pain gradually becomes longer and the intervals become shorter, eventually turning into persistent toothache. When seeing a doctor, patients often cannot clearly point out where the diseased tooth is. The pain is often radiating or pulling pain, radiating to the upper and lower teeth and head and face on the same side. In acute pulpitis, both hot and cold stimuli can stimulate the affected tooth and cause severe pain.

When examining the affected teeth, cavities were seen.

Western medicine treatment

It is generally not easy to relieve the pain of acute pulpitis by taking analgesics. The most effective way is to open the pulp cavity to allow the inflammatory products and pus to flow out, reduce the pressure in the pulp cavity, and quickly relieve the pain. Teeth with pulpitis should be surgically removed by a dentist, and the pulp cavity should be disinfected. The tooth should be filled after the symptoms disappear in order to preserve the affected tooth. If not properly treated, pulpitis may develop into apical abscess or even skull osteomyelitis, and the affected tooth will have to be extracted.
