can make an educated decision about how best to ease your toothache-related suffering.
Seasonal allergies can cause toothaches. As Texans, we’re no strangers to seasonal allergies, and congestion-induced pressure can spill into the area where the upper tooth roots are located. Thus, triggering tooth pain.
TOOTH DECAY
When tooth decay reaches the inner layers of the tooth, it’s no longer protected by enamel and is exposed to elements that might cause further damage, irritation, or infection.
ABSCESSED TOOTH
Tooth pain is an all-too-common signal of an abscessed tooth. When tooth decay and the infection spreads to the tooth pulp, bacteria can cause inflammation and build-up of pus.
INJURY OR TRAUMA
Sometimes, tooth pain results from an injury that has caused chips, fractures, or even a knocked-out tooth. Prompt attention and emergency dental care are highly recommended to fix this issue before it gets worse.
TEETH GRINDING
When a dental night guard can relieve the pressures of habitual teeth grinding, ignoring this habit can lead to enamel erosion. Over time, this habit can affect deeper levels of the tooth and cause discomfort.
WISDOM TEETH
Do you feel intense pain or pressure near your molars? This can be a sign of those pesky wisdom teeth emerging. Wisdom tooth removal can help you feel relief.
Tooth pain is your body’s alert system letting you know that something is wrong with your dental health and that you require prompt treatment.
While it’s best to schedule an emergency dentistry appointment when you feel tooth pain, we encourage you to take over-the-counter pain medications that reduce pain and inflammation until you can meet with a Dallas emergency dentist.
Sometimes, tooth pain goes away on its own. Still, don’t wait to feel relief or until the tooth pain is unbearable. If you’re enduring a toothache that’s lingered for two days, accompanied by pain in the jaw or ears or fever, contact us at Lakewood Dental Studio in Dallas immediately.
Until the 1700s, many believed cavities were caused by “tooth worms.” When these tiny tooth worms burrowed into the tooth, they would cause tooth pain.
