Title: Common causes for a toothache


1
Common causes for a toothache
2
  • In most instances a toothache can be caused by
    something as simple as a piece of food stuck in
    the teeth. Therefore, proper oral care such as
    regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing the mouth
    thoroughly after every meal is important.
  • If youre suffering from a toothache make sure to
    brush, floss and rinse thoroughly and if the
    toothache continues, then dont hesitate to see a
    dentist in Dubai immediately. Even though there
    are short term remedies to mitigate the pain, the
    problem will not solve itself in the long run and
    will need to have a dentists skilled expertise
    to solve the tooth pain.

Root canal infections
  • Each tooth in an individuals mouth contains
    between one and four chambers called root canals.
    Each root canal contains dental pulp, composed of
    blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.
    This pulp provides essential nutrients the tooth
    needs to stay alive.
  • While the tooth is healthy and structurally
    intact, the pulp is shielded from harm, but when
    the structural integrity of the tooth becomes
    compromised, the pulp can easily become infected
    or diseased. When this happens, a person can
    suffer from intense pain and sensitivity, making
    them unable to eat or drink. The only way to
    relieve this pain is to remove the pulp, clean
    the root canal, replace the pulp with a filler
    substance, and then cover the tooth with Dental
    Crowns Dubai. As a last resort the tooth may be
    extracted.

4
Gum disease
  • The most severe form of the disease,
    periodontitis, tooth pain is common, especially
    as the gums begin to pull away from the teeth.
    Speaking to your dentist in Dubai, as soon as you
    find symptoms is essential.

5
Trauma to the tooth
  • If the tooth is chipped, cracked, or otherwise
    damaged due to injury, an individual may
    experience pain.

6
Tooth grinding
  • Chronic tooth grinding, or bruxism, can cause the
    protective enamel of the teeth to become worn,
    leading to tooth pain.

7
Malocclusion
  • Malocclusion, or a bad bite, can lead to tooth
    pain. Orthodontic treatment in Dubai can help to
    strengthen the bite and therefore resolve tooth
    pain.

8
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder
  • TMJ disorder can cause pain in several areas of
    the body, including the neck, ears, shoulders,
    back, head, and teeth.
