Dental treatment is painful. Destroying myths.

Since childhood, dental therapy has been related to ache. And at a extra mature age within the background, the thought will definitely overwhelm: what if it hurts? Or will anesthesia not work?

Dentist of the Dudko & Sons dental implantation middle Pavel Pazhlakov answered questions concerning the prospects of ache reduction in trendy dentistry:

— Pavel Anatolyevich, may you define, usually phrases, which ache administration choices exist in trendy dentistry?

All strategies are divided into native, basic anesthesia and their combos. Native signifies that it acts solely on the realm that really must be anesthetized, that’s, in our case, on the nerves that immediately transmit the ache sign from the tooth. With basic anesthesia (or anesthesia), an individual falls asleep and doesn’t really feel something. In dentistry, this feature is overwhelming most often. We at all times attempt to adhere to the golden rule: anesthesia needs to be sufficient and cheap – that’s, correspond to a selected scientific scenario. In every case, you’ll want to select the best and, on the similar time, protected means of ache reduction.

— How can I “disconnect” a nerve transmitting a ache sign from a tooth?

For this, native anesthetics are used, what’s popularly referred to as “freezing”. These substances block the nerve sign. Easy methods to ship anesthetic to the nerve? The 2 hottest choices are the so-called infiltration and conduction anesthesia. Within the first case, we merely inject anesthetic into the tissue with a syringe – naturally, it reaches the peripheral nerve endings and blocks them. Within the second – we introduce the drug within the fast neighborhood of the nerve within the place the place all of the fibers that conduct the sign from the specified space have already gathered in a single bundle. In any case, all of the methods wherein the message of ache can attain the mind are blocked – and the individual doesn’t really feel something.

— However the injection itself can be not very nice. Some are afraid of the injections themselves.

On this case, there’s software anesthesia. Its essence is that an anesthetic, gel or spray is utilized to the realm that must be anesthetized earlier than anesthesia is finished with a syringe. Utility anesthesia just isn’t very efficient in that it solely anesthetizes the superficial layers. However however, it permits you to “disconnect” a piece of the pores and skin, in order that the affected person doesn’t really feel an injection.

— Does native anesthesia have negative effects?

Some individuals have intolerance to native anesthetics. Maybe, keep in mind that once you go to the dentist, he at all times asks: “Have you ever achieved ache reduction earlier than?” That is achieved as a way to discover out if the individual had a response to native anesthesia.

— If there was such a response, what ought to I do? To deal with enamel underneath basic anesthesia?

No, why is it so radical instantly. Simply apply one other anesthetic, there are numerous them which might be being launched now. Generally, nevertheless, there are sufferers who don’t tolerate any native anesthetics in any respect – then anesthesia or sedation.

– So, can any affected person have sufficient ache reduction? And is there a distinction in ache reduction for the higher and decrease jaws?

Sure. In fact, tough instances occur, however the arsenal of strategies is so extensive that there’s at all times one thing appropriate. And if we contemplate the analgesic impact, then the decrease jaw just isn’t at all times noticed 100% anesthetic impact as a result of bone tissue is denser. Due to this, the anesthetic is much less permeable to the answer. In such instances, we enhance the ready time for the onset of anesthetic ache reduction or enhance the dose of the drug.

– Thanks, Pavel Anatolyevich, having talked with you, it’s nearly not scary to go to deal with your enamel. However nonetheless I actually don’t need to be drilled …

And it’s not crucial! My recommendation to sufferers is to go to the dentists earlier than one thing begins to harm. It’s good to strive no less than twice a 12 months to go for a routine examination as a way to forestall these issues that may trigger numerous issues. Don’t be afraid to go to the dentist, he’s not an inquisitor: in case you are wholesome, nobody will climb to make additional “holes” within the enamel. And if the enamel must be handled, right now it may be achieved completely painlessly.
