Why does it hurt when I bite something?

Many people feel pain when they bite something, which seriously affects their chewing and also affects their health. Therefore, many patients who feel pain when they bite something want to fully understand what is going on. The following content gives a detailed introduction. For many patients with this symptom, they can have a comprehensive understanding.

Generally speaking, for patients who need dentures, the pulp should be preserved as much as possible. Of course, this is based on the premise that the abutment teeth are in good condition, have no obvious looseness, and have no deep caries that are close to the pulp. Preserving the dental pulp well can provide a good guarantee for the long-term prognosis of the tooth being replaced. Therefore, if there is no special requirement, try not to kill the marrow.

1. High bite point. In this case, focus on checking the lateral bite. This is the main cause of bite pain. Sometimes, due to insufficient tooth preparation on the occlusal surface (especially the central fossa), the denture becomes nearly flat after occlusion adjustment, losing the original anatomical shape of the tooth. This situation will largely lead to interference from lateral bite. Abnormal occlusal relationship is the main cause of bite soreness. The cause may be tooth preparation.

2. Check the quality of root canal treatment again. Take two dental X-rays. The periapical X-ray can reflect the filling of three or four root canals to see whether there is underfilling or overfilling. Sometimes a little bit of residual pulp or overfilling can cause bite discomfort. Of course, this situation can often be checked by percussion of a single tooth, but sometimes percussion alone cannot reveal the problem, so you can try bite diagnosis.

3. It is also possible that the positioning of the teeth is inconsistent during the tooth preparation process, which makes the teeth tight during the wearing process, squeezing the abutment teeth relatively, and generating lateral or anterior-posterior forces while being subjected to occlusal force. This component force causes the abutment teeth to form torque, resulting in soreness and weakness when biting food. This situation should be reflected in the process of wearing teeth.

What's the matter when it hurts when you bite something? I believe that through the above introduction, many patients with this symptom have learned in detail what's going on through the content of this article? After a comprehensive understanding, in order to avoid pain when you bite something, it is best to go to a dental hospital for a comprehensive examination. Through the examination, find out the cause and treat it as soon as possible.
