Let's see what can cause toothache!

  The most common cause of toothache is tooth decay

Often the cause of toothache is tooth decay.

As a result of tooth decay, the surface of the tooth dies, creating small holes in the tooth, which provide a gateway for various bacteria and food debris. Tooth decay appears as small brown, dark spots on the surface of the tooth and is often accompanied by toothache.

We use several methods to manage this, depending on how often pain occurs. If you feel pain when biting, then tooth decay with a laser dental filling We'll handle it.

For pain experienced when consuming hot or cold food and drinks, we help restore the tooth's health with fillings or root canal treatment, depending on the severity of the tooth's condition.

If you experience persistent pain with tooth decay, then with the tooth laser root canal treatment We use it to treat inflammation and relieve toothache.

2. Cause of toothache – Pulpitis, i.e. inflammation of the tooth pulp

The second most common cause of toothache is pulpitis, which is inflammation of the dental pulp. There are different types of pulpitis, but It usually develops due to tooth decay, which means the tooth pulp becomes infected with bacteria, causing inflammation.

This can be accompanied by sharp pain, which should be treated immediately, as it can have quite serious complications. It can not only lead to tooth loss, but the infection can spread further and abscesses can also develop.

The best treatment method for pulpitis is laser root canal treatment, which is performed entirely painlessly by NaturaDent's dentists. The laser also ensures a much faster healing time after treatment compared to traditional root canal treatment.

3. Cause of toothache - Overload

We can also feel pain from overuse. As a result of a stressful lifestyle, for example, many people grind their teeth intensely., that we hardly notice in our daily lives. This puts strain on our teeth, which can cause the surface of the tooth to erode, resulting in displacement and stress on the jaw joint.

In many cases, you may experience nighttime teeth grinding, for which we also offer a solution using a bite raising appliance. This unloads the teeth and jaw, thus relieving pain and correcting the bite. Treatment of jaw joint problems search our experts.

4. Toothache can be caused by periapical inflammation in the tooth

Toothache can occur even if the tooth has already undergone root canal treatment. In such cases, the tissues surrounding the tooth are unable to accommodate different substances, which can lead to sensitivity and pain when biting.

In this case We examine the tooth based on a panoramic X-ray, and usually perform a root canal retreatment, which we supplement with medication., so we can treat the inflammation fully. If the treatment is ineffective or we find the tooth can no longer be saved, we will recommend extraction to the patient.

5. Gum disease (periodontal disease)

A gum disease It affects a very large proportion of adults, yet many are unaware of it. Gum disease can cause both toothache and gum sensitivity. Its symptoms are not just toothache and sensitivity, but can also include bleeding gums and the development of other inflammatory diseases within the body.

During the treatment of gum disease, we reduce inflammation and assess whether the tooth in question can be saved. To reduce inflammation laser curettage, deep cleaning we apply, with which We remove the bacteria and dead tissue.. After the treatment, the toothache quickly subsides, as The laser helps to reduce inflammation, and the bleeding, making the healing process much faster.

6. Broken or chipped tooth

A tooth can also hurt if it is chipped or cracked. In such cases, you may feel sharp pain, especially when chewing and due to hot/cold stimuli. A tooth can become cracked or chipped in several cases.

It could be accident, tooth decay, inaccurate filling or improper fit when biting. The A chipped or cracked tooth can be treated in several ways., depending on what caused the problem or how extensive it is. Usually, a broken tooth is replaced with a crown, but sometimes a root canal treatment is also necessary if the fracture has already affected the nerve.

7. Impacted wisdom tooth

An impacted tooth is a tooth that has become stuck during eruption. This is common with wisdom teeth, which can cause significant pain as the surrounding area can even become inflamed.

In this case, you should see your dentist immediately, as leaving a trapped tooth untreated can lead to serious complications. Impacted wisdom teeth are usually removed, meaning they are treated with a painless tooth extraction. This way, we can easily get rid of both later complications and pain.
