What is a Severe Toothache?
A toothache, especially one that occurs at night, is everyone's worst nightmare. When we look at the different types of toothaches, the first is a periodic pain that doesn't cause any serious problems, sometimes caused by allergies, and sometimes by minor irritation. These pains can be treated at home. Sometimes these pains can be relieved with a painkiller. Sometimes the pain goes away on its own without needing any painkillers. However, the second type of toothache we experience is more severe.
What is a severe toothache? Inside the tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp. This pulp is filled with nerves, tissues, and blood vessels. The nerves in the pulp are very sensitive. Damage to these nerves can cause severe pain. Severe toothaches should be taken seriously. If left untreated, tooth decay is inevitable, and your tooth may be extracted. Furthermore, the sensitivity of these nerves can lead to other problems in the rest of the body if left untreated.
What Causes Severe Toothaches?
Before treating severe toothaches, it's best to investigate the cause. Toothaches whose causes are investigated can be resolved more quickly by identifying and treating them. What are the causes of severe toothaches? Because the nerves in this area are very sensitive, many factors can cause toothaches. Sometimes it can be caused by an infection caused by bacteria in the mouth, or it can be a cracked or broken tooth. Pain can also be caused by damage from a previous filling.
Another cause of pain is wisdom teeth. These teeth can sometimes fail to erupt on their own. In these cases, minor surgery may be necessary. Another common cause of pain is teeth clenching or grinding. Many people are unaware that they are clenching their teeth, as this grinding occurs at night while they sleep. Over time, teeth can become worn down due to excessive clenching, leading to severe pain. Your dentist will prepare a night guard for you to eliminate your teeth clenching problem.
