What should I do if toothache and ear pain occur at the same time?

Toothache in most cases is caused by excessive internal heat, or by not paying attention to oral hygiene, which leads to inflammation caused by bacteria. Toothache may also be caused by malnutrition and lack of vitamins. Most people like to endure toothache and do not see a doctor. As a result, the toothache becomes more and more painful, and even affects the ear pain. Therefore, toothache must be treated in time to avoid more serious consequences.

What are the causes of toothache?

1. Periodontal abscess: Further development of periodontal tissue inflammation can cause suppurative inflammation. Severe pain occurs when an abscess is formed, and a local sense of fluctuation occurs after the abscess is formed. After the formation of a periodontal abscess, the pain can be significantly reduced or relieved.

2. Tooth decay: Tooth decay is the most common cause of toothache. Tooth decay causes the hard tissue of the tooth to be destroyed. When the enamel is destroyed, there will be no pain. Once it reaches the dentin, it will be painful. The more tooth decay damages, the more pain it will cause.

The deeper it is, the closer it is to the dental nerve, and the more obvious the pain.

3. Acute apical periodontitis: It is mostly caused by pulpitis spreading to the root canal orifice, causing inflammation of the tissues around the apex, manifested as persistent toothache and paroxysmal severe pain.

4. Acute periodontitis: The nature of toothache is similar to that of acute apical periodontitis. The diseased teeth not only cause chewing pain and a floating sensation, but also have formed periodontal pockets and loose teeth. The gum tissue may become swollen, painful, and bleed repeatedly.

Some tips to relieve toothache

1. Take a small amount of toothpaste and apply it on the painful tooth. The toothache will usually be relieved after a few minutes.

2. Take out a small amount of Yunnan Baiyao and apply it to the painful tooth to relieve toothache.

3. You can also use ginger or garlic. Cut the ginger into thin slices and bite it on the aching tooth, or mash the garlic into a paste and apply it on the aching tooth. It will relieve the toothache after a few minutes.

4. Some toothaches will cause facial swelling. At this time, applying some analgesic plasters to the swollen areas of the face can eliminate swelling and relieve toothache.

5. Rinse your mouth with salt water. Add about half a spoonful of fine salt to a cup of warm water and mix well. Then rinse your mouth after meals and before going to bed. Each rinsing time should be about 2 minutes, which can relieve toothache.

6. When you have a toothache, you can take a mouthful of vinegar, let it surround the painful tooth, and spit it out after a few minutes. This can relieve the toothache.

How to prevent toothache

1. Brush your teeth frequently every day, preferably three times a day (three minutes after a meal and three minutes of brushing);

2. Click your teeth twice a day, 36 times each time. That is to knock the upper and lower teeth against each other. If the upper and lower teeth cannot knock against each other when biting, then mainly knock the molars (the large teeth inside) thirty-six times. If you are not afraid of trouble, knock the incisors thirty-six times. Finally, lick the teeth three or five times with your tongue. Long-term tooth knocking keeps teeth stable and healthy, and less prone to dental diseases;

3. Teeth cleaning. The teeth cleaning I am talking about is not brushing your teeth. It is the cleaning done in the hospital, preferably once every six months to a year.

4. The usual diet should be light;

5. You can eat more foods that are good for your teeth, such as milk, celery, etc.;

6. Do not diet, especially girls who want to lose weight should pay attention.

7. Maintain the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
