1.The Main Causes of Toothache

Toothache interrupts your daily life. It disrupts your sleep patterns, affects your eating and drinking habits, restricts your work and social life. That’s why it’s so important to understand the source of the pain. Here are the common reasons:

* Caries and Excessive Enamel Wear

Bacteria in the mouth erode your tooth enamel by using the waste products of the food you eat. When the caries progresses and reaches the nerve region (pulp) inside the tooth, hot-cold sensitivity and throbbing pain occur.

* Tooth Fracture or Crack

Cracks in the tooth may occur as a result of biting a hard object or as a result of an accident. These cracks stimulate the nerves inside the tooth and turn into a sharp pain during chewing.

* Gum Problems

If the gum is pulled, the tooth roots are exposed; this area becomes very sensitive. In advanced gingivitis, the gum pockets deepen, an abscess forms, and a throbbing pain begins.

* Nerve Inflammation or Nerve Infection

A deep bruise or trauma leads to inflammation of the nerve tissue. In this case, the pain that passes slightly during the day may turn into throbbing at night. Painkillers may not be enough sometimes.

* Tooth Root Tip Abscess

When the infected nerve area is filled with bacteria, it makes an abscess. Abscess is usually accompanied by severe throbbing in the tooth, tenderness in the gum, and sometimes slight swelling.

* Pain Caused by Sinusitis

The tooth roots in the upper jaw are close to the sinus cavity. When sinusitis occurs, the sinus pressure is reflected to the tooth roots. In this case, you may feel throbbing in the tooth, but there may not be caries in the tooth itself.

* Pain from the Jaw Joint (TMJ Problems)

Problems in the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) can create a feeling of hitting the tooth. Although the tooth structure is intact, it may feel like a toothache by forcing the jaw joint to squeeze the teeth or closing incorrectly.

For the correct treatment for toothache, it is necessary to determine which of these causes prevails first. By recognizing the symptoms at home, you can gauge the severity of the problem and take the appropriate steps.

5.Vital Situations That May Occur If You Do Not Go to the Dentist

 

Toothache at Home Can Temporarily Ease, But It Can Leave Permanent Damage!

Suppressing toothache at home can provide short-term relief. But every day that passes without treatment can lead to more damage to the tooth, gums and even the jawbone. This condition, initially just a small bruise, can lead to tooth loss in the future, melting of the tissues around the tooth and irreversible bone loss.

 

Remember: toothache is an alarm. Instead of silencing this alarm, the main source should be identified, the cause should be learned and solved in a permanent way.

Some patients may go down the path of randomly using antibiotics or high doses of painkillers to suppress the pain. This not only solves the problem; it temporarily puts you to sleep, makes the problem grow bigger, but also can lead to much more serious, even life-threatening consequences.

 

 What does excessive drug use lead to?

* Liver and kidney failure

* Drug poisoning

* Allergic reactions

* Suppression of the immune system

* Development of antibiotic resistance

Even in documented cases, tragic consequences have been encountered, such as hospitalization due to uncontrolled medications taken to relieve pain, and even, unfortunately, death.

 

 Even if the pain passes, the disease may continue to progress

The fact that the pain has passed does not mean that the problem has been solved. For example, if the nerve has died, the pain may stop for a while, but the inflammation progresses inside the jawbone and can turn into much more severe problems such as a cyst, abscess, or even jawbone loss when it goes unnoticed.

Therefore, if you have a severe or non-passing toothache, you should contact the dentist without wasting time instead of looking for a solution at home.
