What causes toothache and how to handle
Each
person must have felt what it feels like a toothache, pain is not it? Toothache
can appear suddenly. The most common cause of toothache is a hole in the teeth
called dental caries or cavitation. Toothache can also be caused by other
things such as loose teeth, gum erosion, or infection of the root canal tooth.
If there is inflammation of the nerves, pain is felt can be very intense.
1. Dental Caries
Caries is the collective name for tooth decay in the enamel
(substance in the crown of the teeth), cementum (substance in the roots of
teeth), and dentine (the substance in the middle between the crown and roots).
Teeth can decay due to certain bacteria that produce lactic acid from the
fermentation of carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.
Teeth mainly consist of minerals that are constantly
undergoing a process of demineralization and remineralization. Demineralization
occurs because the use of the teeth, especially because eating foods that
contain acid. Remineralization of the teeth occurs with the aid of saliva,
fluoride toothpaste, and mouthwash. When the pH at the surface of the tooth
drops below 5.5 because the lactic acid produced by bacteria, demineralization
faster than remineralization so that the teeth "overdrawn" minerals.
This can lead to
cavities.
Cavities should be treated by dentists in order not to
develop into severe and should be repealed, or even cause dangerous infections.
Your dentist will drill a hole to clean up the damage and then patch the tooth
with an implant.
2. Loose teeth
Loose teeth can be very painful when chewing food. The
cause of loose teeth is usually a disease of the gums (gingivitis,
periodontitis), although it can also be caused by an accident or collision. To
cope with a loose tooth, the dentist must remove the gum disease with tooth
cleaning (scaling) and treatment. Teeth are a little shake can still be
strengthened with the tether to the nearby teeth. Teeth that are rocking in any
direction should be revoked.
3. Erosion of the gums
Gums are experiencing erosion will expose the roots so
that it becomes sensitive to the food / beverage hot, cold and acid. Erosion of
the gums can be caused by brushing too hard or because of gum disease.
Gradual erosion of gum lasts a long time so it is more
common in those aged over 40 years. Sufferers do not notice or take seriously
until it becomes a problem. When the cause of erosion is too hard to brush your
teeth, you need to replace the brush with a more refined and reduced pressure.
Erosion can only be corrected with gum grafts gum, a
plastic surgery procedure that can only be done by a specialist dentist.
4. Tooth root canal infection
The infected root canal can be very painful with pain
that spreads to other areas in the face and skull. The body defend itself from
infection causing inflammation. It sometimes happens abscess (pus) in the roots
of teeth that can be settled in the patient's jawbone for many years and
continually spread the bacteria into the bloodstream of patients.
Tooth root canal infection can make a dead tooth so it
must be revoked. Maintaining a dead tooth is not an option. The use of herbs,
vitamins, or even prescription antibiotics usually do not solve problems
without being followed when cleaning extraction and root canal teeth and
surrounding tissues.
