Toothaches
What is a Toothache?
Toothaches are pain or discomfort in or around a tooth. They can vary from mild sensitivity to severe throbbing pain and can indicate various underlying dental issues. At Delatite Dental, we understand the distress toothaches can cause and offer comprehensive solutions to alleviate pain and address the root cause.
Symptoms of Toothaches
Identifying a toothache involves recognizing these common symptoms:
Pain: Persistent or sharp pain in a tooth or the surrounding area.
Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages.
Swelling: Swelling around the affected tooth or gums.
Bad Taste: A persistent bad taste in the mouth.
Fever: In some cases, fever may accompany severe tooth infections.
Causes of Toothaches
Several factors can contribute to toothaches, including:
Dental Decay (Cavities)
Cavities are the most common cause of toothaches. They occur when bacteria in plaque produce acids that erode tooth enamel and cause decay.
Tooth Sensitivity
Exposed tooth roots due to receding gums or enamel erosion can lead to sensitivity and discomfort when exposed to hot or cold temperatures.
Dental Abscess
An abscessed tooth results from a bacterial infection, often causing intense pain, swelling, and pus accumulation.
Genetics
Some people may be more prone to missing teeth due to genetic factors that affect tooth development.
Dental Trauma
Injuries to the tooth, such as fractures or cracks, can expose nerves and lead to significant pain.
Solutions for Toothaches
At Delatite Dental, we provide effective treatments to relieve toothaches and address their underlying causes:
Dental Fillings
For cavities or minor decay, dental fillings restore the tooth structure and alleviate pain.
Root Canal Therapy
If the toothache is caused by infection or abscess, root canal therapy may be necessary to remove infected tissue and save the tooth.
Tooth Extraction
In cases of severe decay or damage, tooth extraction may be recommended to prevent further complications.
Dental Crowns or Bridges
To restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth, dental crowns or bridges provide both functional and aesthetic benefits.
