[What is the cause of wind-fire toothache] Why is it wind-fire toothache?
Wind-fire toothache is a kind of toothache that is a complication caused by other diseases in the body. It is also the most painful toothache, which is actually acute gingivitis and acute pulpitis. Wind-fire toothache is mainly manifested as gum swelling, lymph swelling and pain, root gnawing pain, and tooth untouchability, far exceeding toothache caused by tooth decay and periodontitis, and generally accompanied by systemic symptoms such as yellow tongue coating, bitter taste, fever, constipation or poor stool. At this time, taking a large dose of Chinese patent medicine to expel gunpowder has excellent effect and can relieve symptoms on the same day. Do not take drugs containing metronidazole files at this time. Therefore, wind-fire toothache is caused by acute gingivitis and acute pulpitis.
What is acute gingivitis? In medicine, the soft tissue surrounding and covering teeth is called gingiva, and acute and chronic inflammation occurring in gingival tissue is called gingivitis. It is characterized by gingival bleeding, redness and swelling, continuous invasion of hard tissue, and periodontitis, including gingival tissue inflammation and gingival systemic diseases.
Acute gingivitis is limited to individual gums. Acute inflammation occurs when the gums suffer from mechanical or chemical factors such as food impaction, improper use of toothpicks, sharp food stab wounds, and the edge of poor prostheses, which is manifested as swelling, spontaneous swelling and obvious tenderness of individual gums, even cold and hot pain.
The pathological changes of gingivitis are limited to the gums, without destroying the deep periodontal tissue. After removing local self-factors, gingival inflammation subsided in about a week, the damaged collagen fibers could be regenerated, and the color, shape, quality and function of gums could be completely restored to normal, with a good prognosis. However, if patients can't effectively control dental plaque and check it regularly, resulting in a large amount of dental plaque accumulation here, gingivitis is easy to recur.
What is acute pulpitis Acute pulpitis refers to acute inflammation of dental pulp tissue. The infection source mainly comes from deep caries, and the infection of dental pulp can also cause root tip infection through apical foramen. The main feature of clinical dental pulp is severe pain, and the effect of general analgesic drugs is not obvious. The pain can't be limited, and it can develop into pulp gangrene in the later stage. The treatment is mainly root canal therapy.
The clinical symptoms are mostly acute attack of chronic pulpitis, especially those with caries source. Acute pulpitis without chronic process often occurs when the pulp is subjected to acute physical injury, chemical * * and infection, such as excessive heat production caused by surgical cutting of tooth tissue and chemical * * * of filling materials.
The clinical features of acute pulpitis are acute attack and severe pain. During the examination, it is common that the solid defect of hard tissue of teeth, such as deep caries, is close to the pulp. Micro-perforation can be seen, and viscous liquid or blood can be seen at the perforation. Generally come to the hospital is an acute attack of chronic pulpitis. The principle of treatment is to keep the vital pulp or the affected teeth. Emergency can open pulp decompression. After washing with warm salt water, put analgesic drugs (such as camphor phenol, eugenol or toothache water) into the cavity to temporarily relieve pain, and take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs at the same time.
How to deal with toothache caused by wind and fire? Western medicine has no good solution to this toothache. Even if it is given an anti-inflammatory injection, it will take several days to relieve the patient's pain.
The latest syndrome differentiation therapy of Chinese medicine: using dental gold and taking a large dose of gunpowder in Chinese patent medicine (such as Niuhuang Jiedu tablets) has excellent analgesic effect and can relieve pain symptoms on the same day.
Remind never to take drugs containing metronidazole file at this time (metronidazole file is mainly aimed at periodontitis caused by anaerobic bacteria), which is not only symptomatic, but also has great side effects.
If you have a toothache, don't take medicine casually to aggravate the condition. You should go to the dentist in a regular hospital for treatment in time, make clear the symptoms and causes, and then carry out targeted treatment. General doctors will carry out local anti-inflammatory treatment, and antibiotics and painkillers can be used when toothache is severe.
Patients should pay special attention to their diet and eat more soft and digestible foods, such as rice porridge, noodle soup, wonton and egg soup. When cooking, try to use boiling, steaming and stewing, avoid frying and frying, and eat less hard, spicy, sour and sweet food.
