\n\t Cavities are a reason to see a doctor. It causes pain, inflammation, and spoils the appearance of the teeth. After treatment, we expect that the tooth will no longer bother us. In the vast majority of cases, this is the case. But, sometimes, teeth hurt after caries treatment.<\/p>\n

\n\t Soreness after a filling is a natural phenomenon. To remove decay and prepare the cavity, drill hard tissue, which has nerve endings. And if you have to remove the nerve (pulp), the nerve impulses transmit pronounced pain signals to the brain. Even treatment with antiseptic cause local irritation and pain.<\/p>\n

\n\t During treatment, the patient is under anesthesia and does not feel anything. When the effect of anesthetics ends, there is discomfort. . How much the tooth can hurt after caries treatment depends on several reasons. The degree of tissue damage, the type of medical intervention and individual characteristics of the body, everything matters. Usually, everything goes away in 7-10 days.<\/p>\n

\n\t But what if a treated tooth hurts even though it’s been 2 weeks or more?<\/p>\n

Types of toothache<\/h2>\n

\n\t A aching, dull pain that gradually subsides – this is a normal reaction of the body to the intervention. You should be concerned when:<\/p>\n

\n
• \nThe pain is increasing.<\/b> Discomfort is localized at first, but then spreads to the jaw and head.<\/li>\n
• Unpleasant sensations occur when biting<\/b>. The feeling that the tooth is higher than the rest. There is a reaction to temperature stimuli.<\/li>\n
• \nThe gum swells, turns red<\/b>. There is a burning sensation<\/b> in the mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  \n <\/p>\n

  \n\t The above are local reactions. The general picture of inflammation is an increase in temperature, chills, weakness, swelling of the mucous membranes.<\/p>\n

  Causes<\/h2>\n

  \n\t Pain after treatment of deep caries cause:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • \nViolation of technology<\/b> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n\t If you overdry the dentin, the tooth will react to cold, hot and tapping. In the same way, the tooth reacts if the adhesive system was applied without following the instructions or if it did not adhere well because the dentin was not fully dried. Then the installation of the filling will be poor quality, between it and the adhesive layer there will be an air gap, which will provoke pain.<\/p>\n

    \n
    • \nRemainder of the instrument in the cavity<\/b> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n\t The thin tip of a dental instrument can break off and remain in the canal or cavity, causing severe pain.<\/p>\n

      \n
      • \nImproper occlusion<\/b> (point of contact between antagonist teeth) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n\t Pain is not constant, but only when biting and chewing.<\/p>\n

        \n
        • \nPoor treatment<\/b> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \n\t Infected dentin remains under the filling, inflammation spreads to the pulp. Pain is short-term, but sharp, the tooth twitches.<\/p>\n

          \n
          • \nAllergic reaction<\/b> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n\t Swelling, redness, burning in the gum – signs of allergy to the components of the filling material.<\/p>\n

            What to do if the tooth hurts after treatment<\/h2>\n

            \n\t After treatment, unpleasant sensations will continue until the body comes to itself. It is worth waiting a few days and observe the nature of the pain, its distribution. Whether it becomes lighter or increases.<\/p>\n

            \n\t You should contact a doctor if the pain is sharp, it can not be tolerated, it prevents chewing. If there is redness, burning sensation. In case of fever, chills, general weakness, you can not postpone the visit. If the tooth does not hurt, but the filling interferes, it is necessary for the doctor to grind it off.<\/p>\n

            \n\t In other cases, you can relieve painful sensations with home remedies.<\/p>\n
