Why does toothache occur when chewing? Tooth decay: Tooth decay can also cause toothache. Initial caries usually have no symptoms. When the caries cavity becomes larger and deeper, toothache will occur when eating. The pain will be aggravated when eating sweets or overly cold or overheated food. You can brush your teeth with warm water at this time, but the most effective treatment is to fill the cavities. Pulpitis: It is mostly caused by pulp infection due to deep caries without filling, or by chemical drugs or temperature stimulation. The pain is spontaneous, paroxysmal and severe, and may be caused by cold, hot stimulation and percussion. The radical cure is to use a dental anvil to open the pulp cavity for endodontic treatment under local anesthesia. Apical periodontitis: It is usually caused by pulpitis spreading to the root canal orifice, causing inflammation of the tissues around the root apex. Symptoms include persistent toothache. The affected tooth has a sense of elongation, and is obviously painful to touch and tenderness, and cannot bite food. At this time, you can take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and then perform root canal treatment after the inflammation is eliminated.
