Burning In Oral Mucosa, Redness, Pain In Tongue Following Leakage Of Sodium Hypo Chlorite During Root Canal Therapy. Dangerous?
i underwent root canal therapy three days back.during treatment i experienced burning sensation in mouth.due to lekage of some material from rubber dam.after treatment my doctor told it is due to sodium hypo chlorite.and assured me nothing will happen.but after coming home.my oral mucosa is burning.iam unable to keep my tongue out due to red ness,pain and burning sensation.what is treatment for it.is it lead to any severe sequences
i read your history,but nothing to worry
during root canal treatment somtimes accidently hypoclorite solution spreads on oral mucosa and irritates it giving the symptoms you mentioned
do saline water gargles,avoid spicy food and hot beverages
avoid smoking too
and apply analgesic gel (somogel) in all affected oral mucosa
hope it will give relief
thanks
take care
Thanks for posting your query.
The burning sensation is due to the high concentration of sod.hypochlorite solution which comes in contact with oral mucosa.
Rinse your mouth using frequent cold and hot water.
Avoid intake of hot/spicy foods.
Take antibiotics-analgesics to relieve pain.
Apply mucopain ointment on the affected area.
The pain will stop gradually once the action of solution stops.
Take plenty of fluids as well as water to prevent acidity and to keep yourself nourished.
Hope this helps.
Sodium hypochlorite is a irrigating solution used in diluted form in root canal procedure.
When used in concentrated form it irritates and burns the oral mucous membrane .
Accidental leakage of hypochlorite solution has lead to symptoms you have mentioned but nothing to worry about .
i would suggest you to go for symptomatic treatment at home like gargling with lukewarm saline water or antiseptic mouthwash like chlorhexidine or betadine which prevents infection and helps in faster healing.
Apply oral antiseptic and anesthetic ointment like dentogel topically over the affected area.
