What to do if your child has a toothache and a swollen face

Toothache is not a disease, but it is really painful when it happens. This is a catchphrase we say in our daily life. I believe many people have experienced toothache, especially some children. Toothache is often caused by various situations, and some even cause swelling of the face. So what should we do?

1. Mild tooth decay pain: Simple cold or heat stimulation pain can be treated by applying a layer of medicine to protect the pulp and observing for a few days. If the pain no longer occurs, a portion of the material can be retained and a composite resin of similar color can be used as a permanent filling on the outer layer.

2. Indirect tooth decay toothache: It has atypical pain, that is, in addition to the pain caused by cold or hot stimulation, there is also atypical toothache. Toothache can be a dull pain, such as a dull pain for a while at night, but it does not affect your rest. In addition, toothache may manifest as: prolonged pain when exposed to cold or heat stimulation, and strong pain reaction when performing pulp activity test. The treatment for the above toothache is to completely remove the pulp.

3. Toothache caused by severe tooth decay: remove the caries and expose the pulp. When dental caries are removed, the pulp can be exposed near the pulp angle. At this time, the treatment should be based on the medical history.
