Whether the gums are leaking nerves can be determined by clinical symptoms, X-ray examination and probe examination, nerve vitality examination and other methods.
1. Clinical symptoms: If a patient does not experience pain in the teeth after hot or cold stimulation, the gums generally do not have a nerve leak. If the patient has severe pain or even spontaneous pain after hot or cold stimulation, the gums usually have a nerve leakage.
2. X-ray film examination, probe examination: If the patient does not find caries and dental lesions when taking X-ray film, the gums generally do not reveal the nerve. If lesions occur and invade to the level close to the dental nerve, it is necessary to carry out a probe examination, if there is obvious pain in the probe, the gums usually reveal the nerve.
3. Nerve Vitality Test: A vitality testing machine is used to monitor the nerve vitality. If the nerve vitality is too high or has become completely unresponsive, it means that the nerve is leaking out of the gums.
Gums if the exposed nerve should immediately seek medical attention, go to a formal hospital examination, do targeted treatment, do not self-diagnosis and treatment, so as not to cause more serious consequences.
