How to reduce tooth pain after nerve extraction? Complete Care Guide

Pain after nerve extraction is normal, mild to moderate for a few days as the tissues around the root of the tooth are inflamed and repaired. In the following, we will discuss how to reduce pain after denervation

Reasons of pain after tooth extraction

After denervation, a little pain after denervation and sensitivity is normal because the manipulation of canals and tissues around the root causes inflammation; But persistent or severe pain can be caused by several specific causes.

• Inflammation of the tissue around the root: the process of repair and reaction of the tissues to the therapeutic intervention usually causes a few days of mild to moderate pain.
• Residual or re-infection: The presence of microbes in side channels or unfilled pathways causes pain and the possibility of needing re-treatment.
• Insufficient or excessive filling of the canal: Not filling the canals completely or the filling material coming out of the tip of the root can cause pressure or inflammation.
• Complicated or extra canals: The existence of sub-canals or hard curves that are not completely treated leads to constant pain.
• Pressure or traumatization during or after treatment: prolonged pressure during the treatment session, early chewing or inappropriate filling placement can cause mechanical pain.
• Root fracture or microcrack: Microcracks in the crown or root sometimes cause persistent pain that requires evaluation.
• Inflammatory reaction to endodontic materials: Some filling materials or sealers may cause more inflammation in rare cases.
