Dental Crises
As partially covered in a recent
column, dental crises indicating
the need for immediate profession
al attention can manifest in a
v.-. iety of indicators, most herald
r ι »>y pain of some kind ranging
from mild ·. drastic
In certain ca»es, pain u> caused
by the pressure of infection agaiii^i
the tissue that covers the bone.
When an infection penetrates the
tooth, the cbèâc may start to
swell, which allows the pain to
subside, but indicating the infec
tion is now in the gum and-or
cheek. Sometimes the infection
will spread into the bone if left
unattended. Of course, this condi
tion should have immediate pro
fessional care, but for home care
until you can see your dentist,
warm salt water rinse and the
application of bçat may prove to
provide relief.
Where such an infection is in
volved, your dentist may drain the
swollen area and then prescribe
antibiotics to calm the infection. If
scraping of the tissue is demmed
necessary, especially deep under
the gum, there may be swelling
ahd bleeding of the /tissues. Sur
prisingly, a good home relief for
temporary use.is vanilla ice '
cream. It stops the leakage of
tissues and limits swelling, with a
soothing affect and, the ice cream
may be swallowed.
Pain after root canal treatment
can be caused by inflammation
and not an infection, and usually
will wane. While the pain is severe,
most patients can take aspirin and
refrain from eating except for
liquids. When you get to your
dentist's office, he may want to
adjust your bite to reduce pressure
on the involved tooth.
Another type of pain associated
with root canal treatment may
materialize a week or so after
ward, and may be caused by an
infection within the tooth; gas may
form causing painful pressure,
sometimes forcing the material
in the tooth out through the root,
resulting in the spread of infection.
On return to your dentist, he will
probably remove the packing and
let the pressure dissapate, and
perhape prescribe antibiotics if
indicated.
Pain and discomfort after
having a tooth pulled i& not unusual
and the reaons can be varied and it
may continue for several days.
This type may be associated with
an earache, if the tooth involved is
a wisdom tooth, as these nerves
also go to the ear. If discomfort
persists after an extraction, do not
delay in returning to your dentist.
Never have the feeling you are
being too much of a "bother"- as
your dentist will always want to
follow-through with any other
treatment you need.
