Most people have experienced some type of tooth pain at one time or another.
When it comes to a toothache, there can be several underlying factors and even several different types of pain. And it is important to understand the differences so that you can seek dental attention when necessary.
Read on for more.
More than a pain
As a dentist office in metro Detroit specializing in all facets of dentistry, Birmingham Center for Cosmetic Dentistry has treated patients with toothaches for years.
Sometimes toothaches can only be felt when eating or drinking hot or cold foods or beverages or even sugary substances. Other times, they are constant pain.
Some people have pain in an exact location in their tooth or mouth while others may find it hard to pinpoint the location of where the pain is coming from.
Toothache pain can range from stinging to throbbing and dull to sharp and anything in between or a combination.
Regardless of the type of toothache pain you are experiencing, you should seek dental attention as a toothache could indicate:
- A loose crown
- A cavity
- An infection
- Trauma
- Enamel loss
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
Many of these issues can be treated by Dr. Milan, and an exam can determine the cause of your toothache and correct course of care.
So, in short, if you have tooth pain, time is of the essence. It’s key to schedule a dental visit to have the issue examined. Especially if the toothache is accompanied by a fever and swelling of any kind.
