What are the treatments for dental neuralgia

There is a certain relationship between dental neuralgia and excessive tooth wear. At this time, the nerves inside the teeth may leak out, causing severe toothache when eating. In addition, acute tooth infection or chronic inflammation can also easily lead to symptoms of dental neuralgia, which is quite harmful to patients and often leads to decreased appetite and inability to eat normally. For such patients, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and perform pulp surgery to preserve the pulp as much as possible. For those with more severe pain, medication can be used to relieve the pain. Blockade therapy can relieve pain and has a relatively good therapeutic effect.

1. Surgery:

Surgical treatment can be divided into peripheral nerve section, nerve root section, trigeminal nerve spinal cord section, trigeminal nerve compression or decompression, and trigeminal nerve microvascular decompression. These methods are all aimed at destroying the trigeminal nerve, causing it to lose its normal physiological function and achieve the effect of temporary pain relief, but they may cause sequelae such as facial nerve paralysis, hemiplegia, ataxia, and the disease may relapse and cause pain again.

2. Closed treatment:

Blockade therapy refers to the use of acupuncture point injections to paralyze and block nerves in order to relieve symptoms and temporarily relieve pain. However, this treatment also has serious side effects, such as numbness of the face and sensory impairment. If the blockage is inaccurate, it can lead to blindness and hemianopsia. The analgesic effect is poor after multiple blockages.

3. Oral Western Medicine:

Taking some drugs can temporarily relieve pain or provide relief, but most of these drugs are drug-resistant. As the dosage gradually increases, the effect will become worse and worse, and the side effects will increase. Over time, it will cause granulocytopenia, simple thrombocytopenia, lead to blood diseases, and cause memory loss, decreased vision and hearing, liver damage, etc.

The treatment method of trigeminal neuralgia must be selected carefully. Only by carefully selecting the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia can the patient's condition recover in time. Each treatment of trigeminal neuralgia has different suitable populations, which also requires patients to pay more attention to.
