ToothacheCauses
Toothache refers to pain that occurs around the teeth and jaws. Toothache pain can be caused by a variety of issues.
One can experience pain from the surrounding gums or soft tissues.
About This Condition
Toothache pain can range from mild to severe and can be felt in many ways, from a short sharp pain to a prolonged throbbing dull ache. Not only can toothache cause excruciating pain, but it can also lead to facial swelling as well as can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms if left untreated.
It can become worse when eating or drinking, especially if the food or drink is particularly hot or cold. Regular check-ups can be a great way to prevent a toothache from occurring in the first place.
There can be various causes for toothache, such as:
- Tooth decay
- Cracked or damaged teeth or filling
- Teeth that are actively being moved during orthodontic treatment
- Partially erupted teeth – that are covered by inflamed gum
- A dental abscess
There are some steps you could take while you are waiting for your appointment, to try and ease the discomfort, such as:
- Taking painkillers like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol – you can get advice from your local pharmacist
- Using saltwater to rinse your mouth – although this is not advised for children
- Applying a pain-relieving mouth gel to the affected area – can be purchased from pharmacies or supermarkets
- Consuming softer foods, like scrambled eggs or yoghurt
- Avoiding eating on the painful tooth
- Avoiding foods that are particularly hot or cold
- Using wax on your orthodontic brace if it’s rubbing on the gum, lips or cheeks
Toothache Treatment
An examination from your dentist will be able to diagnose the reason for your toothache or discomfort and devise a treatment plan to rectify the problem.
Always remember early diagnosis increases the success of the procedure – that’s why preventative regular checks are the gold standard.
Common treatments for toothache are:
- Endodontics
- General Dentistry
- Extractions
All of our toothache treatments are carried out by our award-winning dental team and in the comfort of our state-of-the-art Harley District clinic.
