Sometimes it's not immediately possible to go to the dentist when the tooth is hurt under the crown. What to do in this case? It is necessary to imagine well the possible causes and consequences of the pathological process. Sometimes you can ease some discomfort with the help of folk remedies. But let's take a closer look at why the tooth hurts under a prosthesis or crown. And we will understand how in this case it is possible to help ourselves.
The tooth is hurt under the crown. What to do? Folk remedies
If you still have some time to visit the dentist, you can relieve uncomfortable sensations with proven analgesics. Or try to help yourself with folk remedies. One such recipe is a mixture of novocain with a raw egg protein and a fine salt. This solution should be rinsed as often as possible. Also helps to paste from garlic, salt, soda and hydrogen peroxide. If the tooth is hurt under the crown (what to do in this case, only the doctor knows), then this composition needs to be smeared with the gum two times a day. Good rinse with sage, root aira and instant coffee. From the broth of herbs you can make baths. You can make a mixture of salt, sugar, ground pepper and vinegar. All this must be boiled and melt over a small fire. Then cool and, while the mixture is still warm, form a ball. Apply to the diseased gum. All home remedies are only a temporary measure. Remember this.
The tooth is hurt under the crown. What to do? Going to the dentist
First, the doctor will remove all the uncomfortable sensations, and then examine the oral cavity. He must understand the cause of inflammation. This will in the future prevent the repetition of an unpleasant situation with your tooth. If you have a lot of crowns, prostheses and bridges in your mouth, then the reason can be related to one or several objects. Do not forget that all plug-in designs have a shelf life. Often a person forgets that the crown has served the required time and requires replacement. In this case, pain and discomfort are a signal. You need to listen to him and visit a dentist. Under the crowns, various pathological processes often start and go unnoticed. In some cases, re-prosthesis may be required. Sometimes a more appropriate method will be dental implantation. Reviews about this method of treatment are often positive. It helps to avoid gum disease and exacerbation of periodontitis. Also a common problem is loosening of teeth, caries under the crown and pain in the nerves. This is due to increased load. Crowns should be inspected by the dentist every six months. And not only they, but also teeth next to them, gums and oral cavity as a whole. Every five years, you need to take an x-ray of both jaws. Indeed, at present, the nerve of the tooth is often not removed before prosthetics. This can provoke a reaction to various (temperature, mechanical) effects. You should always remember about hygiene, as well as avoid eating excessively cold or hot foods. And remember, to prevent problems with teeth is much easier than then to treat them.
