Toothache is usually caused by infection or inflammation of the teeth. This is called pulpitis.
Soft pink porridge in your teeth keeps him healthy and alive. Dental pulp contains tissue, nerves and blood vessels.
Cavities or cracks in the teeth leave air and germs in the teeth. This can irritate and infect the sensitive nerves of the pulp, which causes pain in the teeth.
Along with throbbing pain, other symptoms of toothache may include:
- constant blunt pain
- acute pain when you bite
- get sick when you eat something sweet
- sensitive or tingling teeth
- pain or tenderness in the mouth
- pain or pain in the jaw
- swelling of the mouth or gums
- reddish
- bad taste in the mouth
- bad smell in the mouth
- pus or white liquid
- fever
Both adults and children can experience toothache. Consult your dentist immediately if you have signs or symptoms. You may need a dental check and x-ray to find out what causes pain in your teeth.
Here are eight possible causes of throbbing toothache.
Tooth decay or tooth decay is the most common reason for toothache. That can happen when bacteria "eat" through the hard outer layer of tooth enamel.
Bacteria are part of the normal health of the mouth and body. However, too much sugar and other foods in your teeth can cause too many bad bacteria.
Bacteria produce plaque that attaches to the teeth. Some types of bacteria emit acid which can cause holes or holes. Dental caries can look like small white, brown or black spots on your teeth.
Care
Your dentist can repair a hole or repair a weakened area in the tooth to help stop throbbing pain. You might need:
- Clean teeth to remove plaque.
- Fillers to repair cavities.
- antibiotics to eliminate infection
Teeth with abscesses are when part or all of the pulp in the tooth dies. Dead tissue produces a "sac" of bacteria and pus called an abscess. Infection or inflammation of teeth can cause abscesses.
Damaged teeth can cause tooth abscesses if they are not treated quickly. This occurs when a hole or gap allows bacteria to enter the tooth.
Care
Treatments for dental abscesses include:
Antibiotics to kill bacteria that cause infection.
drain and clean the abscess
Gum cleaning and treatment, if an abscess is caused by gum disease.
Root canal, if an abscess is caused by damage or tooth decay.
Implant, which consists of replacing teeth with synthetic ones.
Tooth fractures are cracks or cleavages in the teeth. This can happen when you bite something hard like ice. You can also suffer a broken tooth when you fall or if you hit your jaw or face with something hard. In some cases, tooth fractures can develop slowly over time.
Broken teeth can cause intense pain. Broken bones allow objects to enter the teeth and irritate or infect the pulp and nerves, causing pain.
This might include:
- bacteria
- Food particles
- water
- air
- Care
Your dentist can repair broken teeth with tooth glue, veneer or filler. You may need a cover or crown on your teeth, or your dentist can recommend a root canal.
You can damage the filling with normal bites and chew, bite something hard, or squeeze or clench your teeth. A charger can:
- chip
- messy
- cracked
- use it
Exit
Care
Your dentist can repair or replace damaged fillers. You may need a crown of teeth if you have damaged too much for new filling.
Gum infection is also called gingivitis. Infected gums can cause gum disease or periodontitis. Gum disease is the main cause of tooth loss in adults.
Gum infections can be caused by:
- Don't clean your teeth and mouth well
- bad daily diet
- smoke
- hormonal changes
- several types of drugs
- health conditions such as diabetes
- treatments for cancer and cancer
- genetic
Bacteria from infected gums can accumulate around the roots of the teeth. This can cause infection in gum tissue which causes toothache.
Gum disease can shrink the gums from the teeth. It can also break bones that hold teeth in place. This can loosen the teeth and cause cavities.
Care
Gum infections are usually treated with antibiotics. You may need regular cleaning by a dentist to remove plaque. Medication mouthwash can help calm gums and toothache.
If you have gum disease, you may need several treatments to help save your teeth. Treatments include "deep cleansing" called scaling and root planing to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. In severe cases, dental surgery may be needed.
Squeezing teeth is also called bruxism. This usually occurs during sleep. Tightening teeth means biting hard. Milling and squeezing can occur due to stress, genetics, and the jaw muscles that are too developed.
Grinding and squeezing can cause pain in the teeth, gums and jaw. They can cause tooth erosion by eroding teeth. This increases the risk of tooth decay, toothache, and broken teeth.
Signs of dental erosion include:
- Small cracks or rough edges on the edges of the teeth.
- Thinning teeth (the edge of the teether looks rather transparent)
- sensitive teeth (especially for hot and cold drinks and foods)
- round teeth
- Teeth and patches that are chipped or dented
- yellowish teeth
Care
Treating the causes of milled and clenched teeth helps stop toothache. Using mouth protectors while sleeping can help prevent adults and children from grinding their teeth. It can also be useful to practice stress relieving techniques or seek advice from a mental health professional.
Crown or hat is a tooth-shaped cover. Usually covers the entire tooth to the gum line. You may need a crown if the teeth are cracked or broken, or if the cavity is too large to fill.
The crown holds the teeth together. It can be metal, ceramic or porcelain. Cement teeth have a crown in place.
The crown may be loose with normal wear. It can also break or break like a natural tooth. A cement glue that holds the crown in place can be washed. You can damage the crown by squeezing or grinding your teeth or biting something hard.
Loose crowns can trigger pain in pulsing teeth. This happens because bacteria can enter under the crown. Teeth can be infected or damaged, causing nerve pain.
Care
Your dentist can remove the crown and treat the teeth if there is a cavity or damage to the teeth. A new crown is placed on the repaired tooth. Loose or damaged crowns can be repaired or replaced with new ones.
New teeth that grow (erupt) can cause pain in the gums, jaw, and teeth around them. This includes babies with teeth, new teeth and adults with wisdom teeth.
Teeth can be affected if they are blocked so they do not grow through the gums. Or it can grow in the wrong direction, for example to the side, not up. This can be caused by:
- excessive density (too many teeth)
- baby teeth that have not fallen
- a cyst in the mouth
- genetic
Impaction teeth can damage the roots of neighboring teeth. Newly erupted teeth and impacted teeth can also cause other teeth to move or loose. This causes pain in the gums and teeth.
Care
You may feel pain or sensitivity of teeth that erupt with an oral gel or general painkiller. Treatments for impacted teeth include minor dental surgery to make room for the teeth. This may involve removing additional teeth or opening blocks.
Other causes of pulsating tooth pain include:
- food or leftovers stuck between teeth
- abnormal bite
- Sinus infection (pain in posterior teeth).
- Heart disease, such as angina (pain around the teeth and jaw)
Dental infections can spread to the jawbone and other areas of the face, throat and head. Contact your dentist immediately if you have other symptoms along with toothache. This might include:
Pain that lasts more than a day.
- pain when biting or chewing
- fever
- swelling
- red gum
- bad taste or smell
- difficulty swallowing
If your teeth are broken or left behind, immediately go to the dentist or emergency room.
