Zánět zubního nervu: příznaky, příčiny a co s tím dělat
When you feel a sharp, throbbing pain in your tooth that won’t go away, even with painkillers, you’re likely dealing with zánět zubního nervu, zánět nervu uvnitř zubu, který vzniká kvůli infekci nebo poškození. Also known as pulpitida, it’s not just a toothache—it’s your body’s alarm system screaming that something’s seriously wrong inside the tooth. This isn’t something you can brush off or wait out. Left untreated, it can spread to the jawbone, cause abscesses, or even lead to tooth loss.
The zubní infekce, bakteriální infekce, která proniká do nitra zubu usually starts with untreated cavities, cracked teeth, or old fillings that leaked. Bacteria sneak in, infect the pulp—the soft tissue with nerves and blood vessels—and from there, it’s just a matter of time before the pain becomes unbearable. You might notice that cold or hot drinks trigger sharp jolts, or that the tooth hurts even when you’re not touching it. Swelling in the gum near the tooth, bad taste in your mouth, or a pimple-like bump on the gum are all red flags.
Many people think they can tough it out or use home remedies, but that’s like ignoring a leaking pipe in your wall—eventually, the damage gets worse. The only real fix is professional treatment: either a kořenová léčba, odstranění infikovaného nervu a vyplnění kořene zubu to save the tooth, or extraction if it’s too far gone. There’s no magic paste or rinse that fixes this. It’s a medical issue that needs a dentist’s tools and expertise.
You don’t need to wait until you’re in agony to act. If you’ve had lingering sensitivity, especially after a filling or trauma, get it checked. Early detection means less pain, less cost, and a higher chance of saving your tooth.
