Other teeth ache after tooth extraction

It doesn't hurt when you have a tooth pulled out, but it will be very painful afterwards. And every time people feel toothache after a tooth is pulled out, this is because although the root is pulled out, other nerves will be involved, causing other nerves to be diverted, causing pain around the gums. This is normal and requires cooperation with anti-inflammatory drugs in a short period of time to prevent the inflammation from worsening due to inflammatory infection, which may even cause pain and swelling.

harm

1. Toothache can cause systemic diseases

Toothache is a manifestation of some chronic inflammation in the mouth that cannot be completely eliminated for a long time. When the body's resistance decreases, bacteria and other pathogenic factors will enter other parts and organs of the body through various channels to multiply, causing damage to other organs, and thus affecting the health of the whole body.

Toothache can also cause some diseases, mainly including subacute bacterial endocarditis in heart disease, which is a common and serious disease in clinical practice. The harm to the human body is very serious, mainly because of the green streptococci in the diseased teeth. Bacteria from diseased teeth may cause rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, the oral cavity is connected to the ears and eyes, and diseased teeth can easily cause infections in these organs of the human body, such as otitis media, optic neuritis, etc.

2. Toothache can cause gum damage and tooth loss

Toothache may be caused by pulpitis, apical periodontitis, tooth decay, etc. The apical blood vessels will dilate, edematous, congested and cell exudate, which will increase tissue pressure, stimulate the apical nerves and cause severe pain. Since the periodontal membrane is extremely sensitive to touch, the pain will be very obvious. If not treated for a long time, it may damage the gums, cause tooth loss or even loose and missing teeth in the entire mouth.
