Toothache causes headache

It seems that the statement that toothache causes headache is completely unfounded, but the nerves in the human brain are interconnected. Toothache caused by bacterial infection will stimulate nerve reactions in other parts of the body and even stimulate the production of some harmful hormones in the body, thereby causing headaches. Ordinary toothache will not cause head pain. Generally speaking, toothache caused by inflammation or bacterial infection will damage the dental nerves and pull on the head nerves.

The main reason why toothache causes headache is the bacterial infection of toothache and the nerve reflex caused by inflammatory stimulation. In addition, pain stimulation can cause the body to produce chemical substances such as prostaglandins, which can also stimulate the head and cause headaches. The source of the disease should be actively eliminated, and it is best to go to a dental hospital for treatment.

Headache caused by toothache may also be caused by the trigeminal nerve. It can be treated with oral carbamazepine and ibuprofen. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Local hot compresses can also be used to relieve pain symptoms. During treatment, smoking and drinking should be avoided, and attention should be paid to oral hygiene.

Toothache is generally common in periodontitis caused by inflammation. If toothache causes headache, the most important thing is to get the toothache treated thoroughly. You can usually use some anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment. If necessary, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Only by treating the root cause of the disease can the headache be relieved.

There are many reasons for toothache and headache, the most common ones are acute pulpitis, periodontitis, etc. This is all due to not paying attention to oral hygiene and the accumulation of food debris over time. It is also related to incorrect brushing methods. Zhide Oral Clinic recommends that you try to have your teeth cleaned once every six months, because teeth cleaning not only cleans the dirt on your teeth, but is also a direct way to detect dental diseases. Many dental diseases are discovered in time through teeth cleaning. Regular teeth cleaning not only saves treatment costs, but also saves your own time and protects your health. Finally, we would like to remind everyone that patients who suffer from headaches caused by toothache should go to the hospital or medical institution for diagnosis and examination in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.
