How is pulpitis treated?
Pulpitis is an emergency in dentistry, and different types of pulpitis require different treatment methods. The first step in treating pulpitis is to administer anesthesia, and if time allows, root canal treatment should be completed in one session. Root canal treatment involves removing and cleaning the dental nerve inside the root canal in one go, then using dental cement and paste to fill the root canal, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth and reproduction. Generally, three to four root canal treatments are needed. Medication treatments include cephalosporins, erythromycin, and pain relievers to alleviate pain. Additionally, tooth extraction may be advised for severe inflammation and poor dental condition.
What are the symptoms of pulpitis?
Pulpitis is divided into acute pulpitis and chronic pulpitis. The symptoms of chronic pulpitis are not as apparent. When acute pulpitis occurs, it manifests as nocturnal pain, pain stimulated by hot and cold, spontaneous pain, and the pain is difficult to localize. Patients experience severe pain when rinsing with cold or hot water, or when brushing their teeth. The pain intensifies during the quiet of the night. Another symptom is referred pain; when one tooth hurts, it can cause pain in half the face and half the head. If these symptoms appear, it is generally diagnosed as pulpitis, and it is crucial to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
How to treat exfoliative cheilitis?
Treatment for exfoliative cheilitis involves identifying and removing potential causes, avoiding external irritants, and correcting bad habits with local medication treatment. For mild cases, apply honey, glycerin, petroleum jelly, silver nitrate ointment, or zinc oxide ointment externally. In severe cases, apply corticosteroid cream externally, consider surgical removal for those with epitheliomatous hyperplasia, and treat with helium-neon laser irradiation and superficial X-ray irradiation. Drug treatment shows significant short-term effects, but often recurs and is difficult to cure completely. (Note: Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
