Tooth denervation

Tooth denervation

Tooth denervation is called removing the infection of the pulp (the central part of the tooth). Nerve removal is done to save the tooth, and if properly cared for, this tooth can last for years.

Dental infection and Tooth denervation during pregnancy

If the tooth decay reaches its inner chamber where the nerve endings are located, it may cause severe pain. Enduring severe pain during pregnancy is not recommended at all and it is better to prevent it. Root canal treatment removes the infected tissue and restores the tooth, which relieves the pain and saves the tooth from destruction and loss.

If you have a serious dental problem such as gum infection or tooth infection, you can treat it at any stage of pregnancy and you should not delay the treatment. However, due to the use of X-rays, it is better to postpone the treatment until the second trimester.

What effect does pregnancy have on teeth and dental nerves?

Pregnancy makes you more susceptible to infection, but pregnancy itself does not cause infection. If you already have dental problems or are prone to them, pregnancy sets the stage for the condition to worsen. Some invasive dental problems require immediate treatment, which includes nerve extraction.

Pregnancy causes hormonal changes that affect teeth and gums.

On the other hand, nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy causes acid to constantly come into contact with the teeth and erode them. Be sure to rinse your mouth well with water every time after vomiting and brush your teeth after half an hour.

What are the complications of not denervation of teeth during pregnancy?

Women who have a lot of bacteria causing tooth decay in their mouth during pregnancy and after giving birth may transfer these bacteria to their child. Early exposure to these bacteria and, on the other hand, eating sugar-containing substances such as milk, fruit juice, etc., and sleeping with a milk bottle in the mouth, all provide the basis for early tooth decay.

The risks of not treating a tooth infection depend on the severity of the infection and the resistance of the bacteria. Even minor infections can develop and become severe due to lack of treatment.

The first sign of the need for denervation is pain and swelling of the gums. Although infection often occurs in the root and nerve tissues of the tooth, bacteria may also penetrate the surrounding tissues and cause gum infection. Gum infection itself can enter the bloodstream and endanger the health of the fetus.

If the tooth infection is not treated, it may reach the bone and cause its destruction and degeneration of the bone structure around the tooth. This causes you to have tooth sensitivity. If this situation continues, it will cause the teeth to become loose and the jawbone to shrink in this area. It may also cause you a lot of pain and discomfort.

As the infection inside the tooth progresses, the tooth cannot be saved and unfortunately the tooth must be extracted. This is despite the fact that if the infection was treated on time, the tooth would have been saved without any lasting damage.

In severe cases of infection, if treatment is not done on time, the infection may turn into a dangerous condition called blood infection. In this situation, the bacteria have entered the bloodstream and have taken the infection to other parts of the body. If the blood infection is not treated quickly, it can lead to death.The best time for Tooth denervation during pregnancy

The best time for Tooth denervation during pregnancy

Although Tooth denervation treatment does not endanger the fetus, and on the other hand, not doing it can be dangerous, but it is better to do this treatment in some periods of pregnancy.

If you can do the nerve removal in the second trimester of pregnancy. In the first trimester, the fetus is generally more vulnerable, and in the third trimester, you may not be comfortable sitting in the dental chair for a long time.

Remember, if you have an infection or swelling in your mouth, you should immediately undergo dental treatment because the consequences of not treating the infection during pregnancy can be serious.

What are the ways to prevent the need for nerve denervation in pregnancy?

  • Observe oral hygiene more.
  • Regularly go for a dental check-up before trying to get pregnant, so that in case of tooth decay or gum infection in the early stages, action can be taken to prevent its spread and the need for nerve extraction.
  • Avoid eating too many sweets during pregnancy.
  • If you vomit, then clean your mouth thoroughly.
  • Drink less acidic drinks.

FAQ

Is it not harmful to use antibiotics for denervation during pregnancy?

For dental treatments during pregnancy that require antibiotics or pus drying, the following medications are safe to use:

  • Clindamycin
  • Erythromycin
  • Cephalosporins such as cephalexin
  • Penicillins such as amoxicillin and ampicillin

Is X-ray not harmful in pregnancy?

In most cases, before any denervation treatment, it is necessary to take a radiology photo (X-ray) of the tooth to determine the extent of the infection. One of the common concerns for tooth extraction during pregnancy is the need for photographs.

The American Pregnancy Association states that pregnant women should avoid any unnecessary X-ray radiation. But when medically necessary, the American College of Radiology recommends using protective clothing techniques to minimize X-ray exposure and ensure no harm to the fetus.

Be sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant or may be pregnant.

Aren’t anesthesia and painkillers harmful for denervation during pregnancy?

Anesthesia is needed for denervation, and after the treatment is over, when the effect of the anesthesia wears off, you need to take painkillers to relieve the pain. Fortunately, experts say that local anesthesia poses no risk to the developing fetus. It is recommended for pregnant women to use local anesthesia containing epinephrine.

The American Pregnancy Association recommends that the use of local anesthesia be limited to a minimal level, but this level is sufficient for painless denervation.

In severe cases, the patient may prefer to take painkillers for a few days after nerve extraction. Ibuprofen (and its family) pain relievers should not be used during pregnancy. During this time, take acetaminophen-based medicines.

Does toothache occur more often during pregnancy?

Pregnant women usually eat more carbohydrates and this causes tooth decay and toothache to be experienced more. In addition, vomiting during pregnancy weakens the enamel, which increases the possibility of decay and toothache.
