Toothache refers to any pain or distress experienced in or around a tooth. There are diverse forms of pain, making it challenging to convey your sensations to the dentist effectively. The discomfort can range from mild to severe, throbbing, sharp, or persistent.
Sometimes, pressure on the tooth is the sole means to perceive the pain. Furthermore, your teeth may exhibit heightened sensitivity to extreme temperatures. Discomfort while chewing is also quite common.
Additional indications may comprise migraines, elevated body temperatures, and gum inflammation near the tooth or within the jaw. Furthermore, gum or tooth bleeding may occur. In the case of an infection, unpleasant-tasting fluid might be discharged from the surrounding area of the tooth.
Dental and medical problems can also result in toothaches. Your teeth, gums, or jaw may be involved in dental pain reasons. The following are the most typical causes of toothaches that our dentists see daily:
Occasionally, discomfort may stem from a broken filling, tooth sensitivity, or an abscess. Similarly, toothaches can be caused by gingivitis or gum disease, although some individuals may not experience pain. Toothaches can also be induced by other pain radiating to the jaw, known as referred pain. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), commonly called the jaw joint, is one such location. Earaches, sinus infections, shingles, and, on rare occasions, heart conditions are additional medical conditions that can result in toothaches.
When you schedule a toothache appointment at one of our dental offices, you only want the pain to stop. It makes sense that way. Consider what your dentist will require to identify and treat your toothache in advance.
Usually, your dentist will ask you about your medical history before performing a comprehensive oral, dental, jaw, tongue, throat, sinus, ear, nose, and neck examination. Depending on what your dentist thinks might be the reason for your toothache, you might also require an X-ray.
Before your appointment, consider your responses to these questions. Preparation can improve the diagnosis.
To identify the source of your toothache, your dentist will thoroughly inspect your mouth. You might require one of these typical therapies:
