Overcoming Pain and Dental cavities

Toothache

Dental cavities are not caused by worms such as the opinion of those in the past. This theory lasted until the 1700s until Willoughby Miller an American dentist who works at the University of Berlin found the cause of tooth decay. He discovered that the tooth cavity caused by the meeting between the bacteria and sugar. Bacteria will convert sugar from food into acids that residual environmental causes teeth to become acidic (environmental natural teeth are supposed to be alkaline) and acid is what ultimately makes a small hole in the tooth enamel.

When a hole occurs in tooth enamel, we have not felt a toothache. However, a small hole next to the email can be a gap remaining food and the bacteria will make a bigger hole to punch dentin. At this time we will feel a shooting pain in the teeth when eating. If allowed, the hole until the hole will be nervous that we will begin to experience a toothache. This process will not stop until the teeth eventually become exhausted and only the remaining tooth root.

Toothache can not be underestimated as some few people, because when silenced, can make the teeth becomes swollen and inflamed. Also cavities can become a means towards the channel entrance of germs that can cause blood vessels of kidney, lung, heart and other diseases.

In order not getting worse, so if you have cavities you should immediately visit your dentist to treat it. Although many people do not like going to the dentist for reasons not care about the state of teeth, expensive worried, afraid or ashamed of being ridiculed because of damaged teeth, but going to the dentist is the best solution to deal with a toothache. Cavities can not be cured by itself. Although, possibly after suffering a toothache, the pain may be lost but did not improve the condition of the teeth. Teeth will remain hollow, the hole will keep growing even bigger.

Patching Dentistry and Dental Unplug

The measures will generally be taken dentist is patching a damaged tooth, if the hole is not too large. But if we feel the toothache, the process of filling can not be directly carried out, because then the gas in the tooth can not get out. The doctor will give you painkillers or will turn off the tooth nerve so that we are not tormented with the pain. On the next visit before the teeth will be cleaned and patched temporarily, permanently filling done on the next visit again.

If the hole is too big and does not allow for the patched, it means that teeth should be revoked. Just as the process of filling teeth, the teeth also can not be readily removed when the teeth still hurt. This is caused when we feel a toothache, then the anesthetic (drug resistant so as not to hurt when the teeth removed) can not penetrate the roots of teeth, so that when removed will cause tremendous pain. New tooth extraction process can be done when the tooth had no pain and to relieve pain doctors would turn off the tooth nerve.
