PASO ROBLES, Calif.,
March 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Few things are more painful than a toothache and a healthy
mouth is one of the best ways to prevent tooth pain. Paso Robles dentist, Lisa Lu Davis, has released a report describing
the various causes of toothaches and the healthy oral hygiene
practices that can help avoid painful conditions.
Pain and soreness from a toothache often radiate into the entire
jaw and mouth, causing associated headaches, neck stiffness, and
even earaches from the pressure of inflammation. The tooth is
sensitive to pressure and temperature, making chewing and eating
very uncomfortable.
Dr. Davis' report addresses three leading topics that can help
patients avoid toothaches and get immediate care when a toothache
does happen. The report can be read in its entirety at "Preventing
Toothaches: a report from Paso
Robles dentist Dr. Lisa Lu
Davis."
- Immediate care for a toothache is critical. Not only is getting
relief for the pain important but identifying and treating the
underlying cause, especially when infection is present, is urgent.
Untreated infections only get worse and can lead to serious
complications. A thorough examination identifies the source of the
toothache and the course of treatment, which may include
antibiotics before additional dental procedures can take place.
Regular dental examinations can help prevent emergency dental
problems because the dentist can identify issues early and take
appropriate measures to prevent swelling, pain, and infection.
- The American Dental Association reports that the causes of
toothaches can be the result of anything that allows bacteria below
the gum line. A cracked tooth or loose filling is all it takes for
bacteria to enter and start trouble. Other common causes include
tooth decay, inflammation of the tooth pulp (pulpitis) caused when
the nerves and tissue in the center of the tooth become irritated
or infected, an abscess from infection, an impacted tooth,
sensitive teeth, gum disease, or even a sinus infection.
- A healthy mouth, gums, and teeth are the best way to avoid a
toothache. This means regular brushing and flossing and regular
dental checkups. But some circumstances can lead to infection and
toothache in spite of good daily oral health habits. Old fillings
might become loose over time, a tooth can crack from an injury to
the mouth, biting down on an unexpected object in food or from
chronic teeth grinding. Any injury to the mouth, even when obvious
tooth damage isn't present, should be followed by a dental
examination as soon as possible. Regular examinations help the
dentist identify potential issues before they become painful
problems.
