The causes of tooth pain

The most crucial tooth part is dental pulp. It is what causes tooth discomfort or sensitivity. It is the soft part in the middle of the tooth which houses blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. It is often called the nerve, and it is connected to each root via the canals in the tooth.

When the pulp is damaged or stimulated you may experience pressure or pain. The term “toothache” refers to any pain or soreness within or around the tooth. The pain could be acute or dull, and can be painful while chewing or biting. In addition, your tooth might be more sensitive to temperatures. Tooth pain is an extremely painful and stressful encounter, especially if the reason for the pain is unclear. If you are able to determine the root of the pain, it’s simpler to ease the discomfort prior to your appointment with your dentist.

Toothaches and pains are usually caused by the following factors:

Tooth decay The bacteria “eat” by consuming the enamel’s hard outside layer of the tooth
Gum disease – Infections to the gums, for example, gingivitis, causes bacteria accumulate around the root leading to toothaches
Clenching and grinding your teeth (Bruxism) are common during sleep and without even
Sensitive teeth are formed due to exposed dentin (the tissue beneath the enamel and cementum) resulted from decay, worn fillings, damaged teeth or receding gums
The tooth pulp is inflamed (Pulpitis) The tooth decay penetrates into the pulp of the tooth, causing it to become inflamed , and irritation
A cracked tooth or split could be caused by the force of a bite, or falling, or being struck on the face or jaw by something sharp
Abscess: A part or all the tooth’s pulp is destroyed, and the dead tissue forms an “pocket” of pus and bacteria, referred to as an abscess.
Teeth that are impacted (most often wisdom teeth) are stopped from settling into the proper place in the mouth due to gums, other teeth or bone
