What’s wrong with a tooth that hurts when you knock on the back of your neck?

The manifestation of tooth pain behind the neck may be caused by a variety of factors such as periodontitis and cervical spondylosis.
1. Periodontitis: Bacteria and sediments covering the surface of the teeth or excessive biting force can lead to destruction of the gums and bone around the teeth, and then inflammatory reaction occurs, causing swelling and pain of the gums, numbness. And knocking on the back of the neck will increase the local inflammatory stimulation and cause dental pain performance.
2. Cervical spondylosis: Long-term head-down posture will lead to long-term overload of the cervical spine and disc herniation, osteophytes and other changes, which will compress the surrounding blood vessels and nerves.
When knocking on the back of the neck will enhance the stimulation of the nerves, resulting in dental pain.
In serious cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
