Three reasons to tell you why your teeth still hurt after fillings
Toothache is relatively common in oral diseases. In many cases, toothache is caused by caries. Sometimes toothache still occurs after caries filling. So what is the reason for toothache after filling?
Causes of toothache after filling
The reason for the recent irritation or spontaneous pain after tooth filling may be that some chemical substances in the filling material stimulate the pulp or root apex; it may also be caused by incomplete pulp inactivation.
After going to the hospital for dental treatment, sometimes there is a toothache, which is probably in the following situations:
- The treatment needs to inactivate the dental pulp (commonly known as nerve killing). The toothache may occur on the day or the next day after the inactivation drug is blocked due to the effect of the drug, but the pain will not be severe and will not last for a long time.
- Short-term pain caused by hot and cold stimulation may occur due to the stimulation of the dental pulp during the preparation of the cavity by the filling or the disinfectant. This kind of situation does not require special treatment, and generally recovers spontaneously after 1-2 days.
- The cavities are deep, and the pad material used is too thin to cut off the hot and cold stimulation conducted by the amalgam, and the symptoms of cold and hot stimulation appear. This requires thickening the bottom material before filling with high-end restorative materials and professional dental filling instruments kit.
The reason for the recent irritation or spontaneous pain after tooth filling may be that some chemical substances in the filling material stimulate the pulp or root apex; it may also be caused by incomplete pulp inactivation.
The long-term cause of pain is often secondary caries complicated by pulpits. Endodontic pacification or other endodontic treatments should be performed as appropriate. If occlusal pain has occurred recently, it is likely that the filling material is too high, and it is caused by early contact during occlusion. It will return to normal after a few days of adjustment.
In short, the doctor clearly tells the patient that there may be temporary toothache (such as pulp inactivation), other toothaches after filling the tooth should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, to find out the cause and deal with it in time.
