Toothache


Unpleasant, but often intolerable sensations caused by irritation of sensitive nerves. In the role of irritants can be a stroke, a burn, a prick, inflammation, trauma, etc. It is usually a manifestation of a tooth disease.
When the integrity of hard tissues of the tooth (enamel, dentine) is violated, painful sensations arise only with the intake of cold or hot water, acidic or sweet food. With the removal of these irritants (rinsing the mouth with warm water) - the pain stops.
In those cases when it occurs on its own, often intensifies at night and spreads to the surrounding areas of the tooth, becoming diffuse in nature, it should be assumed that it is an acute inflammation of the tooth pulp, the pulp of the tooth. In this case the pain is long and often painful. Count on its cessation by taking analgesics - analgin, etc. - even in large doses, it is not necessary. Also, the recommendations for the introduction of various drugs into the cavity of the patient's tooth (alcohol, analgin, aspirin, etc.) are also erroneous. The most that can be achieved is to slightly reduce its intensity.
It is possible that the pain itself will diminish or stop when the destructive phenomena destroy the bridge between the intercaryan cavity and the pulp chamber of the tooth. In this acute period of inflammation of the pulp passes into a chronic stage, which is accompanied by the subsidence or disappearance of pain. However, the pathogenic lesion continues, spreading to the entire tooth pulp, including the pulp in the canals of the roots of the tooth, and then to the surrounding tissue. The transition of purulent inflammation beyond the tooth is called acute periodontitis. At the same time, the pain sensation is characterized by an independent appearance, precise localization in the tooth region, touching it, the more the tapping causes a sharp increase in pain. Anesthetics can reduce it and even remove it. But you can not expect a cure without the participation of a dentist, it is necessary, and in the coming days to prevent possible serious complications - abscess, phlegmon, osteomyelitis.
Thus, being the most frequent signal that indicates a tooth disease (see Caries, pulpitis, periodontitis), toothache at the same time may be the result of a trauma, when a fracture of a part of the crown reveals a tooth pulp (pulp), rich in nerve endings. The slightest touch to it causes acute pain. Only a dentist can help.
It should be borne in mind that to create the impression of toothache can swelling of the jaw, inflammation of the maxillary sinus, nerves, disease of the central nervous system. Therefore, the pain in the tooth region should be evaluated by the doctor to determine its cause and not be treated only as a dental one.
Toothstone. More than 80% of people have dental deposits, called "tartar". It consists of food residues, epithelium (deflated), bacteria, phosphorus salts, calcium, etc. Its formation begins with the accumulation on the rough surface of the tooth's neck of a soft plaque on which lime salts are deposited. Sealing, this formation "clutch" covers the prigesnevuyu part of the tooth. Most often, the stone appears on the teeth, which are less involved in the act of chewing, because of which their natural cleansing is difficult.
The causes of tartar - non-compliance with oral hygiene, the habit of taking only soft food, chewing on one side. The disturbance of metabolism, primarily of saline, can become a common cause for dental plaque.
When the disease of periodontal tissues (periodontitis), the stone is formed under the gum: between the root of the tooth and the wall of the alveolus, which contributes to the more aggressive development of periodontitis (previously called alveolar pyorrhea).
If you have tartar, you should contact your dentist to remove it. Otherwise, various complications are possible - the emergence of a focus of chronic gingival inflammation, odor from the mouth, intoxication of the body.
Prevention is reduced to hygienic measures, consumption on a par with soft soft foods (apple, carrots, cabbage, etc.).
