Does it hurt to drill the tooth nerve

Dental nerve drilling is usually painful.

Dental nerve is a very sensitive tissue, when it is operated, it will inevitably cause pain. This is because the dental nerve contains rich sensory nerve fibers, which can be sensitive to various stimuli. Secondly, during the process of drilling dental nerve, the contact and operation of instruments and teeth will produce mechanical stimulation. This stimulation directly acts on dental nerve, resulting in obvious pain. Even in the case of local anesthesia, there may be a certain degree of discomfort.

In order to reduce the pain when drilling dental nerve, doctors usually take measures such as local anesthesia, but this does not completely eliminate the pain, only to a certain extent reduce its intensity. After surgery, pain may persist or worsen, and it needs to be relieved by appropriate treatment.
