Toothache when eating hard things may be caused by deep caries, chronic pulpitis or apical inflammation, etc. Patients can be treated by cavity filling, root canal treatment, incision and drainage according to the situation.
1. Deep caries: If the patient suffers from deep caries, when eating, the food enters into the cavity and stimulates the pulp tissue to cause pain, so there will be a toothache when eating hard things, and the patient can take cavity filling surgery for treatment.
2. Chronic pulpitis: If a patient suffers from chronic pulpitis, eating hard things may stimulate the pulp tissue, which leads to toothache. Root canal therapy can be used to remove the inflamed pulp and necrotic tissue from the root canal.
3. Apical inflammation: If the patient has apical inflammation due to bacterial infection or other reasons, the toothache may occur when eating hard things, and the patient can incise and drain the tooth, and then undergo root canal treatment.
If the patient has a toothache when eating hard things, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and then carry out symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
