Causes of toothaches

Causes of Tooth Pain

The human body is designed to endure almost any pain. However, one of the exceptions is tooth pain. Despite such signals, most people tend to be quite casual about dental treatment.

🔷 So, tooth pain is the result of damage to a nerve that runs directly in the tooth or nearby tissue. It can be sharp, or when exposed to heat or pressure, it can be pulsating and shooting.

💡 Symptoms of Tooth Pain

⛔️ Cavities. It tends to develop asymptomatically, damaging the tooth tissues until sensitivity to mechanical, temperature, or chemical stimuli occurs.

⛔️ Pulpitis. Typically, pain in the case of pulpitis occurs upon contact with hot or cold substances and doesn’t disappear quickly, reminding of itself for some time.

⛔️ Periodontitis. Due to the inflammation of tissues around the apex of the tooth, it can cause constant aching or sharp pain.

‼️ How Tooth Pain Diagnosis and Treatment Works

⚙️ Based on the examination and patient’s complaints, the doctor establishes a diagnosis. X-ray and radiovisiography of the affected tooth are performed for a more accurate diagnosis. The treatment approach depends on the cause of the pain. For instance, if pulpitis is the cause, they perform the removal of the pulp, followed by canal sealing.

‼️ But tooth pain can strike at any moment. If it occurs at night and there’s no possibility to visit a dentist immediately, you can use the following methods.

💊 First, you need to clean your teeth and remove food remnants from cavities.

🍲 It’s better to limit food intake since food remnants can provoke a new episode of tooth pain.

💊 Rinsing the affected tooth with a warm soda solution is recommended. Ibuprofen, sodium metamizole, acetylsalicylic acid, or any other analgesic taken orally can help relieve tooth pain.
