What to do if you have a toothache? Teach you how to treat toothache at home

Toothache may not seem like a serious illness, but the pain is unbearable. Of course, there are many people in life who can endure it, but most of the time toothache still needs treatment, whether it is diet therapy, medication, or other treatment methods, you always have to try it. So, what are the methods for treating toothache? Dentists recommend going to a regular hospital to seek advice from a doctor, who will develop a treatment plan based on the symptoms.

Toothache should be diagnosed

In order to treat a toothache, you must first understand why your tooth hurts and find the cause of the toothache so that you can treat it accordingly. Otherwise, blindly taking medicine will not cure the toothache. So, what are the causes of toothache? Dentists point out that there are two types of toothache, one is primary toothache and the other is concurrent toothache. Primary toothache refers to the direct cause of the teeth and gums themselves, which can be divided into:

Toothache caused by caries is commonly known as pulpitis or apical periodontitis. The symptoms of this toothache: caries have formed on the teeth, which are particularly sensitive to the stimulation of sugary and dairy foods, as well as hot and cold substances. Therefore, when it occurs, it is a bone-drilling pain and is usually not accompanied by a gum reaction. This toothache is generally more painful at night than during the day, and more painful when lying down than sitting.

Toothache caused by periodontitis. Patients with periodontitis do not necessarily experience toothache, but it is caused by the gums shrinking. Therefore, most patients are middle-aged and elderly people, and the scope of tooth pain is also different. Some people only have pain in one tooth or two or three adjacent teeth, while others have pain in a large range of teeth in the upper and lower gums. The reason for this phenomenon is that the pain of periodontitis is not caused by the teeth themselves, but because an anaerobic bacteria in the mouth causes the inner gums - that is, the periodontal tissue to become congested and inflamed, which stimulates the dental nerves and causes pain (especially soreness), which will directly aggravate the pain during the biting process. In addition, this kind of toothache will not cause redness and swelling of the gums.

So, how do you treat toothache?

Dentists point out that different toothaches require different treatment plans. The details are as follows:
