The causes of toothache may be related to physiological factors or due to dental caries, pulpitis, periodontitis and other causes.
1. Physiological factors: along with the growth of people’s age, the occlusal surface of the teeth produce wear and tear, resulting in the enamel layer is worn off, resulting in the exposure of the dentin layer, resulting in increased tooth sensitivity, which may cause toothache.
2. Dental caries: dental caries leads to cavities in the teeth, when the cavities cause damage to the dentin layer, it may lead to toothache, especially when consuming hot, cold, sweet and sour food, it is easy to cause the teeth to be stimulated by the presence of caries, which tends to aggravate the symptoms of toothache.
3. Pulpitis: the pulp is mainly distributed in the pulp cavity inside the teeth, which contains blood vessels, nerves and other tissues, due to the presence of inflammatory infections in the pulp tissue, under the stimulation of inflammation, it may cause toothache.
4. Periodontitis: due to the presence of chronic inflammatory reaction of the periodontal tissue, stimulated by inflammation, can lead to the destruction of the patient’s gums and soft tissues, and in severe cases, may destroy the deep supportive tissues of the teeth, which may cause toothache, may also be accompanied by loose teeth, loss and other manifestations.
Sore teeth, after excluding physiological factors, should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
