What is the cause of toothache

What we call "tooth bone" is actually the common name for the jaw joint and temporomandibular joint. This makes it easy to understand and everyone knows what it is. Many people feel tooth bone pain because they often chew things with their mouths or eat some hard foods. They think that as long as they relieve it and relax their mouths, it will be fine. In fact, this is also a disease. So what is the cause of tooth bone pain?

The incidence of temporomandibular joint disorder in children is about 5% in kindergarten, and the incidence will increase with age. The incidence rate among children above middle school exceeds 20%.

There is not much difference in the incidence rate between genders from kindergarten to middle school, but after high school, the incidence rate of girls exceeds that of boys.

The causes of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome are as follows:

① Inharmonious bite

②Psychological reasons

③ Improper use of mouth and tongue

④ Teeth grinding, etc.

However, temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome is not caused by any of the above factors alone, but is caused by a combination of these factors. Among them, the most important are the two factors of occlusal disharmony and psychology.

Therefore, this also brings certain difficulties to the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome.

Generally speaking, if a child suffers from TMJ disorder, his symptoms will be relatively mild, and in 80% of cases the child will experience popping sounds in his joints. A small number of people experience joint pain and difficulty opening their mouths.

If parents find that their children have the above symptoms, in addition to taking their children to see a doctor in time, they also need to pay attention to the following in life:

Eating

Children should try to avoid eating hard foods and foods that require a long time to chew.

Bad oral habits

Parents should pay attention to see if their children clench or grind their teeth.

Maintain good body posture

For example, a child’s posture when eating is very important. When eating, try not to lower your head and look forward, or tilt your head sideways while watching TV.

There is another body posture that should be avoided: hunching over with the chin protruding forward.

Parents also need to always observe whether their children are supporting their cheeks or pressing their chin backward or laterally.

Parents of children who yawn frequently should remind them to control the intensity of their yawns.

If you have gum pain, it is important to pay attention to your lifestyle habits.
