Sudden severe tooth pain may be caused by acute pulpitis, acute periapical inflammation, wisdom tooth pericoronitis and so on. According to the situation, we will choose to open the pulp drainage, local rinsing and medication, oral pain medication and other treatment options.

Acute pulpitis: In pulpitis, the blood vessels of the pulp tissue dilate and become congested, and the necrotic tissue releases inflammatory products, which increases the pressure in the pulp cavity and causes acute pain. At this time, root canal treatment should be carried out, which can rapidly reduce the pressure in the pulp cavity of the tooth to relieve pain, and if necessary, oral ibuprofen extended-release capsules can be prescribed to temporarily relieve pain.
2. Acute periapical inflammation: mostly due to pulpitis untreated, resulting in inflammation to the root tip, causing periapical inflammation and pain. First of all, we can open the pulp cavity, remove the necrotic pulp tissue, so that the root canal is open, and then we need to choose the root canal treatment to relieve the pain.
3. Wisdom tooth pericoronitis: Mostly due to the wisdom tooth position is not correct to form a blind pocket, food debris accumulation in the blind pocket caused by wisdom tooth pericoronitis and cause tooth pain. First of all, local rinsing and medication should be carried out, rinse the mouth with salt water after meals, and then remove the wisdom teeth after the inflammation is under control.
