Emergency treatment of pulpitis during pregnancy

If you have symptoms of pulpitis during pregnancy, you cannot take medication as it will affect the normal development of the fetus. Therefore, if you have pulpitis during pregnancy, you should listen to the doctor's advice and seek treatment. If pulpitis occurs during pregnancy, you can use anesthesia to anesthetize the teeth and then perform pulp drainage, which can quickly relieve gum pain. Root canal treatment and other methods need to wait until after delivery to perform the surgery.

If acute pulpitis or an acute attack of chronic pulpitis occurs in early pregnancy, the patient may have difficulty eating due to the pain. Long-term difficulty eating can cause malnutrition in the patient and cause fetal malformations. If the patient's sleep is affected, it may affect the patient's resistance, causing a decrease in resistance, and may also affect the development of the fetus. Of course, it will also affect the patient's mood. If there are drastic mood swings, it may cause miscarriage. If it is in the late pregnancy, due to obvious mood swings, the uterus may contract early and cause premature birth.

Therefore, in the early and late stages of pregnancy, we should perform emergency treatment for pulpitis, which requires local anesthesia under the relatively safe anesthetic effect of 2% lidocaine. After local anesthesia, pulp drainage and inactivation agent are performed. The pain can be relieved quickly and effectively, and follow-up root canal treatment can be carried out after delivery. Of course, conventional root canal treatment can be performed in the second trimester.

1. The cause of acute pulpitis is relatively complex and is related to the internal structure and developmental state of the teeth. When treating this type of disease, you should also pay attention to timely anti-inflammatory treatment. You can use ice cubes and towels to apply cold compresses three times a day to relieve local swelling and enhance the treatment effect.

2. In the event of acute pulpitis, it is important to clean the oral cavity to keep the inflammation completely eliminated. Then, use normal saline to rinse the mouth to prevent the skin around the pulp from ulcerating and developing, which may cause viral infection.

3. The treatment of acute pulpitis is not difficult. As long as the anti-inflammatory treatment is done well and relevant measures are taken in time for care and treatment after the swelling subsides, the tooth's own resistance to bacteria can be enhanced. Treating dental diseases requires a process and cycle.

Note: In the treatment environment of acute pulpitis, attention should be paid to daily care and cleaning of the teeth, and then a variety of treatments and root cause clearance measures should be adopted to prevent chronic and acute recurring symptoms of pulpitis.
