The tooth aches with pressure: why, what to do

Often people pay attention to their teeth only when they begin to ache, stagger and bleed.As a rule, toothache when pressing the tooth is observed in the early inflammatory processes, pulpitis, cyst and other diseases.Often such latent pain is determined in the process of bite during eating.And after that, we can not leave our teeth alone, pinching their tongues and fingers, pressing into the jaw, breaking the integrity of foreign objects( forks, toothpicks, matches, etc.).

If you have a healthy tooth

In order to get rid of the pain, cure a possible ailment and prevent the development of complications, it should be established whether this is a healthy tooth or sealed( depulpated).

If you find pain in the tooth when pressing, you should consider several possible causes of its appearance.

1. Soft or bony tissue is injured. We often do not notice how we send aggressive items and products( caps from handles, nails, sucking candies, nuts, seeds, etc.) to the genus.Also, people have an icky habit of opening with the mouth of various banks and packages.Nobody thinks that rough exposure to enamel can cause the emergence of microcracks, chips and scratches in soft tissue.
   

   Soft or bony tissue is injured - one of the causes of toothache when biting

   In this case, the tooth will not necessarily hurt, but biting and chewing can give uncomfortable discomfort.As a rule, such injuries are treated at home with baths, compresses and rinses, as well as applying healing ointments.

   If the pain does not pass, contact the dentist who will exclude the infection and the development of the inflammation, and possibly conduct operative treatment of the root canals, or recommend the patient a crown.
2. The sensitivity of the enamel has increased. Without irritating factors like rough food and temperature, you will not feel any changes, however, when you drink hot or cold drinks, as well as brushing your teeth, you may get a sharp pain.You should examine the gum and make sure that the root of the tooth does not hurt when pressed, excluding inflammatory processes.Sensitivity of enamel can be removed with the help of special gels and pastes, eliminating this ailment.Also popular methods are popular( rinse your mouth with soda-salt solution or decoction of chamomile, oak bark).In dentistry, the doctor will help you to restore the enamel by remineralization( the tooth is covered with fluoride and calcium-containing agents).Sometimes helps build up a new enamel.
3. Soft tissues were inflamed. This does not necessarily have to be an infection through microtrauma and tooth cleaning.Sometimes inflammation contributes even to hypothermia, weakening of immunity, less often - the occurrence of granuloma, stomatitis, etc.If the tooth is still healthy, then it is enough to carry out medical applications at home( mint, sea-buckthorn, myrrh), rinse your mouth with a soda-salt solution, alcohol infusions, decoction of their dry herb collection.If after 3-5 days the inflammation does not pass, you need to visit the dentist.

Discomfort during chewing as a symptom of periodontitis

Not always people diagnose caries in a timely manner, which in time can develop into a serious complication - periodontitis( inflammatory processes of the upper root).Worry about periodontitis is if the healthy tooth hurts when pressing( anterior, chewing, canine, third molar).

Not timely treatment of caries leads to periodontitis

In addition to the pain syndrome, there are other obvious symptoms of the disease:

• discomfort localized in the same tooth area( do not give the jaw, the opposite teeth andEtc.);
• the patient feels that the sick tooth has moved higher;
• worsens overall health( weakness, loss of strength, insomnia, a slight increase in temperature, etc.).

The tooth is sick after treatment

Why does the tooth ache and stagger when pressed after treatment?The reasons can be very much.Normally, any dental manipulations( sealing, depulpirovanie, installation of crowns) lead to traumas of the periodontal tissues, nerve endings and the surface of the enamel, therefore, little time is required for recovery and healing.

After any dental manipulation, it takes time to repair and heal

Where does the discomfort after dental manipulations appear?What actions lead to discomfort during chewing food, biting and pressing?

1. The seal is not polished to the end. In this case, the soft tissue rubs appear in the first hours after the anesthesia goes away, and it is not possible to close the jaw to the end.This is due to the fact that many patients are embarrassed again to tell the dentist that they still feel the seal, and it interferes with the closing of the teeth.Remember, the duty of a specialist is to grind the seal until it stops completely in the mouth, becomes a harmonious part of the sealed tooth.
2. Sometimes it's painful to press on the tooth because of doctor 's illiterate actions.Young specialists can fill up root canals not completely, leave fragments of the tooth in the patient's oral cavity or worse - the instrument.It is also possible to injure tissues due to the operation of the drill, the aggressive use of tools, etc.All this leads not only to sharp pains, but also to inflammation, puffiness, and sometimes the formation of cysts.The appearance of caries.
3. . As a rule, on an old filling or crown, a dark stone, and then caries, may appear again.This is a normal process, if the seal has served you a good few years, because it should also be updated periodically.Sometimes caries can develop and under a fresh seal, if the doctor has not removed all affected areas of the tooth area.

How to determine that toothache is the result of incompetent treatment:

• pain is acute, cutting and appears seizures;
• the treated area was swollen, and the edema passed to the jaw and cheek;
• there is a slight hyperthermia, a general weakness of the body.

Hygiene of the oral cavity will improve your health before going to the doctor for toothache

Rinse your mouth with antiseptic and healing preparations, decoction of linden, oak and chamomile, alcohol solutions, soda and salt solution, furatsilin and manganese solution( lightlypink).With a strong pain syndrome, do not be afraid to take an anesthetic drug like Naise, Ketanov, Analgin, Spazmalgon.It is also possible to apply a little Lidocaine to the area of ​​the aching tooth.

Patients should remember that if the tooth is painful to press and the discomfort does not go away for a long time - you need to urgently go to the dentist to avoid the development of inflammation, pathologies and serious complications.
