What causes a tooth to hurt?

Teeth are one of the hardest parts of the human body, but toothache is also the most frustrating, very uncomfortable and difficult to solve. This is mainly because toothache is caused by problems with the internal dental nerves and pulp, and it is difficult to discover the cause and take effective measures to solve it. Now the hospital has a complete set of dental examination and treatment methods, which I will introduce below.

General Introduction

80% of toothaches are basically caused by pulpitis, which is a high-pressure headache caused by hemolysis of the blood and compression of the nerves inside the hard tissue of the tooth. Medication can only block the transmission of pain, but the effect of long-term medication is poor. It usually occurs after several years of caries (cavities). In addition to recommending early extraction of wisdom teeth. If you choose to go to the dentist for timely treatment, you can preserve the appearance of your teeth and avoid the need for tooth extraction. Moreover, the locally necrotic pulp will continue to produce a lot of exudate and continue to accumulate strength, waiting for the body's immunity to decline, causing headaches again, and resulting in the symptoms you mentioned.

Therefore, finding the affected tooth and performing root canal treatment is the most effective, immediate and most eradicative way. Many people like to attribute toothache to getting angry, but in fact, getting angry is called inflammation in Western medicine. Anesthesia is required before the operation to ensure painless treatment.

When the situation becomes serious, you may have to choose to extract the tooth. Therefore, when our teeth hurt, we should go to a regular dental hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
