The tooth is aching. Causes of toothache. Folk advice, recipes, a list of medicines

With toothache, most people are familiar firsthand. What to do when the tooth is aching badly, for what reasons can it occur? This we will discuss in our article, and at the same time publish a list of medicines and folk recipes that will help remove pain.

Why do not my teeth ache?

There are many factors that can cause toothache. Here is a list of the most common:

• Presence of caries;
• pulpitis;
• flux;
• Pain after tooth filling;
• High sensitivity of enamel;
• removal of a tooth;
• Cracks in the enamel;
• Pain under the crown;
• Trauma to the teeth.

If your front tooth or root is aching, the first thing you can assume is the presence of caries. In this disease, the protective enamel of the tooth and the dentin layer are damaged, which causes the harmful microorganisms that cause inflammation to multiply in the cavity formed. Even superficial shallow caries can provoke aching pain. Usually it is a reaction to getting into the tooth cavity sweet, salty, sour; Reacts to the damaged tooth and on hot food or, conversely, to a very cold one. The initial stage is difficult to recognize independently, so if the tooth is aching, the very first thing to do is go to the dentist.

Pulpitis happens if caries is badly started and the heart of the tooth is inflamed - its pulp. Few people are able to withstand a long pain during pulpitis; Here, willy-nilly, one has to resort to the help of a dentist. If this is not done, the problem with the teeth can develop into the next stage, in which the inflammatory process is already passing to the periosteum and the jawbone - a flux is formed. The pain in this condition is very strong, nochy character, often giving up in the ears, neck, etc. Often this ends with the removal of the tooth.

Why does the tooth whine after sealing?

It would seem that after the tooth is sealed, the pain should completely disappear. However, this does not always happen. Usually, after a complex treatment, which was accompanied by removal of the nerve, the tooth continues to ache after anesthesia has passed away. It's okay, I'll have to wait a little, after a while everything will be all right. If the tooth is too noisy, so that there is no strength to endure it, you can drink some of the drug from the list in our article.

In the event that the pain does not stop for a long time, you will have to visit your dentist again to find out the reasons for what is happening. Perhaps the doctor did something wrong and the inflammation continues to develop in the cavity of the tooth.

Why does the tooth ache under the crown?

This is a very unpleasant situation, which in most cases is due to the poor performance of the dentist. Most likely, he made a mistake in the treatment of a tooth before installing a crown. This is about:

• Incomplete canal filling;
• Damage to the root canal (its wall) during the installation of the pin;
• Presence in the channel of voids (loose sealing).

If the tooth under the crown noeth and hurts, then you do not have to wait for what will happen next, but urgently go to the doctor who put this crown.

Pain due to increased sensitivity of tooth enamel

Happens and so: there are no caries, and all the same no teeth. What to do in this case and why this happens? The reason can be covered in thinning of the enamel layer. This is facilitated by the following series of reasons:

• Endocrine and nerve diseases;
• Pregnancy or menopause - under these conditions there may be a violation in the mineral metabolism;
• Malnutrition, in which the body does not receive the elements that it needs;
• Non-compliance with oral hygiene .

You can often help yourself with the intake of calcium and vitamin complexes.

Neuralgia

Perhaps you have heard about inflammation of the trigeminal nerve? In this disease, too, sometimes the teeth are aching and aching. What to do in this case, what kind of doctor can help - dentist or neurologist? Let's first determine what happens with neuralgia.

The main reason for neuralgic pain is that the trigeminal nerve is squeezed into the body for some reason . Provocative extracranial factors can serve as inflammation in the nasal sinuses and oral cavity, periodontitis, gingivitis, etc. Intracranial reasons include: displacement of veins and arteries, as well as the formation of adhesions and tumors.

With neuralgia all the teeth can hurt at once (on the upper and lower jaws) - a very painful condition, requiring consultation and help from a neurologist. The main sign of the disease is acute pain, which for a while stops and resumes again. With neuralgia, even the most elementary everyday things (washing, brushing teeth, etc.) can cause a painful attack.

Often the course of the disease is protracted. A neurologist may prescribe the use of anticonvulsants, vascular and sedatives. Very good physiotherapy.

Folk recipes

Aching pain in the tooth can be soothed by folk remedies, of which, by the way, very much. Here are good recipes that you can use if your teeth hurt:

1. This pain is well calmed butter cloves. Just drop it on a sick tooth or put a fleece soaked in oil on it.

2. On the arm between the forefinger and the thumb is a zone, whose massage helps with toothache. It is also good to wipe this area with a piece of ice.

3. Put a small ball of propolis on the problem tooth. If there is a large open carious cavity, then propolis can be used as a temporary seal - it simultaneously removes both pain and inflammation.

4. A good solution is a solution of soda. Soda powder (2 tsp) pour 1 tbsp. Boiling water, allow to cool and use as a rinse.

5. The mouth can also be rinsed with vodka without swallowing it. At the same time, part of the alcohol will directly penetrate the gum, and through it into the inner tissue of the tooth, which will give an anesthetic effect.

6. Fresh garlic juice rub on the wrist place where the pulse is palpated. If the tooth hurts on the right, then you need to lubricate the left hand, if the left - then vice versa. In another version, you need to tie a garlic clove to your wrist with a bandage and then walk for a while.

7. If there is sea salt at hand, then you can use it. Two teaspoons dissolve in warm water and rinse the mouth.

General recommendations for the removal of toothache

1. A sick tooth does not need to be warmed - it causes a rush of blood to the area of inflammation, which can provoke the appearance of flux and intensification of pain.

2. In the supine position, the pain intensifies, because the blood flow in the periodontal tissues becomes more active, and the pressure on them increases, so it is better not to take a horizontal position.

3. You need to try to switch your attention from a sick tooth to something else.

4. Always clean the oral cavity of food residues (for this there are toothpicks and dental floss). It often happens that tiny bits of food cause strong pain.
