Three causes of toothache

My upper and lower left teeth have been throbbing for a few days.

You know, right? When your tooth hurts, you suddenly get scared...

When I was young, I didn't manage my ears well, and since I had a lot of saliva, I had many cavities treated.

Your mouth is almost made of gold, haha.

I went to the dentist around Chuseok because a gold tooth fell out, but I had no symptoms at that time.

But... my tooth has been throbbing these past few days, and it's really bothering me.

There must be a reason why my tooth is throbbing like this...

I looked into a few reasons.

I should go to the hospital soon.

 

 

Three causes of toothache

Reasons why toothache and tooth pain occur

The reason for experiencing pain due to teeth is mostly caused by problems in the tissue called the 'pulp chamber' inside the tooth.

Since the pulp chamber contains nerves and blood vessels of the teeth, inflammation caused by disease in the pulp chamber leads to the formation of gas inside.

Gas remains in the pulp chamber without being released, causing nerve compression due to gas pressure, which leads to toothache.

So, when we open the tooth for treatment, we experience a dramatic relief from pain.

 

Three causes of toothache

What if the tooth is decayed blackly with throbbing pain?

One of the main diseases that cause inflammation in the pulp chamber is dental caries, and this disease is a common dental condition that can be experienced by anyone regardless of age or gender.

It mainly refers to a disease where bacteria in the remaining food in the mouth produce acid, causing the teeth to decay, and if the progression continues, it turns the teeth black.

If the outer enamel and inner dentin, as well as the pulp, become infected, it can lead to severe toothache and significant discomfort.

Therefore, if toothache has already begun, it indicates that the cavity has progressed significantly, and if left untreated, extraction may become necessary.

 

What to do if your teeth throb after eating hard foods?

Additionally, there are cases where toothache suddenly occurs after we eat hard foods.

At this time, a suspected tooth fracture refers to a crack or break in the tooth, which can frequently occur in molars.

If a toothache occurs, it is highly likely that not only the surface but also the crown has been damaged.

If you continue to chew and apply impact when there is a crack in the tooth, the fracture area may gradually enlarge, and the condition is likely to worsen.

Additionally, bacterial infection can occur between broken teeth, leading to pulpitis and causing toothache, so prompt treatment is necessary.

 

Could toothache pain be caused by gum disease?

Dental pain can occur due to problems with the teeth themselves, but it can also be experienced due to inflammation in the gums.

One example is periodontal disease, where tartar accumulates on the teeth and causes inflammation of the gums. If left untreated despite experiencing tooth pain, it can lead to destruction of the jawbone and result in tooth loss.

If accompanied by pus and bad breath, it is likely to be pain caused by gum disease, so it is advisable to respond quickly before losing natural teeth to prevent a serious situation.

    가스압력에 의한 신경압박이라
    가스때문에 치통이 생길 수가 있다는게 
    생소하네요  
    치아는 조금 이상 있을때 치료 받아야 됩니다
    놔두면 대공사 됩니다~^^

    이가 괜히 욱신거리진 않더라고요. 충치가 있거나 잇몸에 염증이 있으면 이가 욱신거릴 때가 있더라고 정말 치아는 왜 이렇게 약한 걸까요

    저도 옛날에 비빔밥을 먹다가 이가 깨졌습니다. 전혀 통증도 없었는데 말이죠. 그렇다고 비빔밥에 엄청나게 딱딱한 것도 있는 것은 아니었습니다. 그 뒤로 좀 방치를 했는데 여기서 말하는 치수강 때문에 물을 마시든 음식을 먹든 계속 아팠습니다. 아마도 신경을 계속 건드리는 것 같았습니다. 그래서 어쩔 수 없이 금으로 때웠고요. 잘 관리하시기 바랍니다.
