What level of pain is toothache

Toothache is classified as level 4 pain or level 6 pain, which needs to be determined based on personal sensitivity and the degree of tooth damage.

Toothache may be caused by inadequate oral hygiene or frequent consumption of sugary foods. If you do not rinse your mouth and brush your teeth in time after eating, food residues and food pigments will remain in the mouth and microorganisms will grow. After stimulating the gums and dental nerves, pain will occur. People with less sensitivity may experience a sweet taste, and the pain will be around level 4.

Frequent consumption of sugary foods may cause tooth corrosion, as well as damage to the enamel and dentin, which may cause the teeth to turn dark or become partially sunken. If not treated in time, pulp damage may occur, accompanied by pain in the tooth area, especially when eating. The pain is more severe, and people with severe body sensitivity may experience level 6 pain.

If you have toothache, you need to go to the hospital's oral department for examination in time. Through dental examination or oral X-ray examination, the cause and severity of the pain can be accurately determined. If oral infection or nerve pain occurs, you can take metronidazole and ibuprofen under the guidance of a doctor, or choose nerve cutting surgery for treatment. Tooth decay causes serious damage to the dental pulp. It is best to choose root canal treatment or tooth extraction treatment, which can eliminate inflammation in the dental pulp area.
