What is the pain in the mouth

Oral pain should be considered as oral inflammation. Oral ulcers are mostly caused by oral bacterial infection, lack of vitamins or certain substances needed by the human body, which cause local oral inflammation. In addition to paying attention to a reasonable diet, eating less spicy, greasy and irritating foods, and maintaining a happy mood, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and not be too tired, so that you can heal better.

Things to note in daily life:

1. Avoid spicy, deep-fried or stir-fried foods that are hot in nature, such as chili peppers, ginger, fried dough sticks, sesame cakes, biscuits, instant noodles, lamb, etc.

2. Do not be picky about food, and have a diversified diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits that are rich in vitamins, such as apples, green vegetables, spinach, carrots, etc.

3. Be cheerful, don’t always think about annoying things, play with friends more, and live happily every day.

4. Maintain a proper balance between daily life and work, take enough rest, and do not stay online all night.

5. In dry climate, you can use fresh monk fruit as tea, or use Ophiopogon japonicus, chrysanthemum, licorice and other ingredients to make boiled water.

6. Pay attention to oral hygiene and brush your teeth every morning and evening.

Causes and types of oral pain

Primary oral pain is pain felt by oral tissues due to direct mechanical or chemical stimulation of one or more pain receptor systems located in the oral cavity. Secondary oral pain is pain felt by oral tissues due to stimulation of a certain part of the pain transmission pathway, such as intracranial tumors compressing the central part of the trigeminal nerve transmission, causing pain in the peripheral branches.

Referred oral pain is pain that occurs far from the site of pain. For example, pain in the upper teeth caused by lower tooth disease can be referred to the left mandibular area. The mechanism of referred pain may be that the impulses transmitted from the diseased area are "crossed" and cause central "misunderstanding".
