Having a toothache is not good for any oneHaving a toothache is not good for any one. The symptoms can range anywhere from mild discomfort to totally unbearable excruciating pain. Sometimes when you are having a toothache, it may be worsened by hot, cold, biting or eating sweets. Or, sometimes, it just hurts all by itself.

Causes of a toothache:

1.Due to decay in tooth (a cavity).

2.Due to a dental abscess (usually caused by deep decay).

3.A periodontal (gum) abscess.

4.An erupting wisdom tooth (pericoronitis).

5.A fractured tooth crown or root portion.

6.An exposed nerve ending (usually under an existing filling or crown).

7.An irritated nerve ending due to a deep filling or crown.

8.Impacted food in or around a molar gingival margin.

9.A leaking filling, bridge or crown.

10.Decay under an old crown, filling or bridge.

11.Trauma to the tooth (usually from some accident).

12.A sinus infection (sever cold etc.).

13.Grinding of the teeth due to TMJ problems.

14.A mal-occlusion - requiring adjustment or orthodontics.

15.A failing root canal treatment (requiring re-treatment).

16.Other non-specific causes, such as reversible inflammation of the nerve, referred pain, sensitivity to certain foods, and even denture sores.

How to get Relief from toothache:

When you have a toothache, usually you will need to see a dentist to get relief.

What we can do includes:

Repair the decayed tooth structure with a filling or crown.

Do a root canal treatment] if we determine that the nerve is dead or infected / exposed.

Extract the tooth or teeth if it is hopelessly infected or broken.

Adjust your occlusion if T.M.joint has the problem.

Put you on an antibiotic and treat your gums disease if you have a periodontal abscess.

Prescribe pain medication if we feel the tooth may recover on its own and is simply inflamed for some reason.

Adjust your denture or partial denture if it is rubbing your gums and creating a sore spot.
