Which diseases there is pain in the teeth

Toothache can cause a multitude of reasons. But dentists know that the tooth (as we call it), is actually the bone-and-mineral education (molar) and directly get sick can not. In fact molar covers the sensitive systems tooth, and with it the destruction of the just and there is pain.

Causes of pain in the teeth:

1. In most cases, the pain in the teeth occurs when chemical, mechanical and temperature effects on the nervous apparatus of the tooth-jaw system, but also due to a lesion of hard tissues of the tooth, gum inflammation, periosteum, jaw or soft tissue surrounding the jaw.

2. Pain in the teeth can occur when the effects of the stimulus (heat, cold, chemical or solid objects). This type of toothache is typical of caries and pulpitis. If the pain in the tooth emerge spontaneously, it says the inflammation of the pulp or apical (apical) periodontal.
If the impact of the stimulus pain in the tooth quickly arises, but after the elimination of the stimulus passes quickly, that, most likely, a disease of the hard tissues of the tooth - decay, erasing, hyperesthesia (increased sensitivity of teeth).

3. At the beginning caries pain in the teeth is not constant, arises in contact with a sick tooth cold, hot, sour or sweet foods.
After a thorough rinsing the mouth cavity pain disappears. But calm down don't need to. For the first time emerged tooth pain is a signal for the immediate treatment in the dental clinic. The earlier the assistance will be provided to the more efficient and economical treatment. If caries penetrates into the brain substance of the tooth, is developing pulpitis.

4. Most often acute pain in the teeth causes pulpitis is inflammation of the pulp (the pulp of the tooth). Pulpitis are caused by bacteria and their toxins which get into the pulp from the carious cavity in the tooth. Pulpitis is streptococcus. Also pulpitis can be caused by and the trauma of the tooth (broke off part of the crown, a broken tooth), sharp temperature, chemical impacts (acid, alkali).
Pain at endodontities is paroxysmal character and occurs most often at night. In acute inflammation of the pulp there is an urgent paroxysmal pain. In the daytime, pain occurs at change of temperature (a reaction to the cold and hot).
- Serous limited pulpitis is characterized by the appearance of the brightly expressed pain attacks lasting from 2 up to 5-7 minutes. The pain in the affected tooth occurs for no apparent reason and also suddenly stops. However, after 4-8 hours be re-pain attack.
- With the further spread of the infection develops serous diffuse pulpitis with bouts of pain for 10-15 minutes. And for sero-purulent focal pulpitis is characteristic of cutting, shooting pain, often arising from the impact of the cold.
- The emergence of sharp, tearing, often throbbing pain in his teeth, investing in the temporal area and ear, tells about the development of the most severe purulent-diffuse form of acute pulpitis. The pain attack occurs under the influence of hot, but the cold, on the contrary, the pain does not cause. That's why a man waking up in the night from acute dental pain, sometimes finds salvation that is gaining in the mouth with cold water.

5. Acute pain in the teeth can cause and another, even more dangerous disease of the teeth - periodontitis. When periodontities inflammatory process applies not only to the tooth, but also in the bone tissue around the tops of the teeth roots. Periodontitis is complicated caries, in which affects the nerve decomposes and the ligament, which hold the tooth in the jaw). When periodontities arises clearly localized severe tooth pain, sometimes after a pulsating character. A characteristic feature of a toothache when periodontities is its considerable increase of the mechanical load on the tooth, especially by tapping. There is also a general malaise, headache, hyperemia and swelling of the mucous membranes around the patient tooth. A characteristic feature of a toothache when periodontities is its considerable increase of the mechanical load on the tooth, especially by tapping. Many patients refuse to receive even the liquid food. Probably a moderate increase in body temperature (up to 37.5 C). If these symptoms should urgently seek dental care. Postponement of the time of applying to a specialist risk of severe purulent complications.

7. You can also feel pain in all the teeth with the use of cold food or inhalation of cold air on the street, the use of sweet food. These painful feelings "proceed" as if from the necks of the teeth. This situation is not as bad as the previous ones. Here we can assume on the high sensitivity of enamel. Increased sensitivity of teeth occurs when the dentin - the main bone tissue of the tooth is lost protective coating. Dentin is permeated with thousands of tiny tubules that are filled with fluid and lead to a dentist of the sciatic nerve. The movement of the fluid, caused by thermal, chemical or mechanical influence, could cause a sharp pain. Up to now the only remedy against such pain served as toothpastes, contributing to natural regeneration of dental coverage.
