Toothache and Treatment
Now let's first explain the causes of toothache:
- The most common cause of toothache is tooth decay. When teeth decay, the layer that protects the teeth thins over time and the teeth begin to ache.
- There is a fracture or crack in the tooth
- Having gum problems
- Presence of tooth wear
- Teeth grinding, which is the disease of our age, is also a cause of toothache.
Treatment of Toothache
The most important element in the treatment of toothache is the determination of the cause.
Toothache usually also occurs in the form of referred pain. If the pain is in the form of referred pain, the situation becomes more complicated.
Sometimes the referred pain is caused by the tooth. Sometimes it is caused by an organ other than the tooth, but it is mistaken for a toothache. The insidious pain that radiates to the ear, the pain that occurs when the lower wisdom teeth cannot come out and remain buried, earache, or even pain that radiates to the tonsils. Pain that radiates to the ear develops due to deformation of the joints as a result of teeth grinding. Pain that radiates to the temples, when the upper wisdom teeth cannot come out completely, or if they do come out, cannot be cleaned completely, the pain radiates to the temples as a result of inflammation due to rapid decay. The upper wisdom tooth erupts towards the cheek and cannot be cleaned completely. The chewing surface of the tooth is very indented and protruding and decays quite easily, but since it is behind, it is not possible to see the decay. Pain that radiates to the temple and head causes meaningless pain. The person thinks it is a headache and tries to get rid of it with painkillers. Pain that radiates to the eyes occurs as a result of inflammation of the upper canine teeth. Our head and face area are quite complex. The organ that dominates the nervous system of this area the most is our teeth.
After determining the cause of the pain, the pain is eliminated by removing the factor.
Once the pain is eliminated, we can create protective measures to prevent it from occurring again.
