Staying up late can cause toothache, the harm is so great

Staying up late often prevents the whole body from getting a good rest. After a long time, it will cause inflammation and toothache is expected. The editor suggests that you should never think that toothache is not a disease, as it can be very harmful.

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.

3. Toothache can damage the dental nerve and erode the alveolar bone

If your teeth experience pain from cold, hot, sour, or sweet stimulation, or spontaneous dull pain, bloating, or other symptoms, it means that there is a problem with the dental nerve. If the infected substances in the caries are not completely removed and the dental nerve is not treated with root canal treatment, the tooth pain will become increasingly severe and will eventually erode the alveolar bone to form a serious "fistula". Not only may the tooth be unable to be retained, but alveolar bone defects will also be caused, which will have a serious impact on later dental cosmetic restorations or dental implant treatments.
