Root canal treatment for severe tooth pain

Early stage: some lesions can be detected using optical caries-detection methods.
Advanced caries: treatment becomes deeper and the risk of irritation or inflammation of the pulp increases.
Infection and inflammation of the dental pulp. Severe pain, by day and at night, Toothache including on biting or chewing.
A root canal treatment or, if the tooth cannot be saved, extraction followed by replacement may become necessary. The choice should be made after clinical and radiographic diagnosis.
Through small defects or carious areas in the enamel, bacteria can reach the underlying dentine.
In dentine, caries can spread more rapidly. Acids produced by bacteria demineralise tooth structure. At this stage there may be sensitivity to sweets, cold or heat. Regular check-ups help detect decay before it causes pain; where indicated, the defect can be restored with the aim of preserving pulp vitality.

The dentist can detect hidden caries by clinical examination, radiographs and, in some cases, optical methods. If the lesion progresses to the pulp and the tooth hurts spontaneously, even without a trigger, the dental pulp may be inflamed or infected , especially if pain prevents sleep at night. Prompt dental assessment is required in such cases. toothache Pain can occur after treatment of deep caries because the pulp was already irritated or because the defect was very close to the nerve. The dentist must balance removal of carious tissue with preservation of tooth structure and pulp vitality.

Pulp vitality can be assessed with thermal, electrical and other tests. A necrotic tooth can still cause pain, but often no longer responds normally to cold.
