Tooth Pain Treatment In Charni Road Mumbai
Why Does My Tooth Hurt?
Whether it's sharp and sudden or dull and constant, tooth pain is hard to ignore. A toothache or tooth pain is caused when the nerve in the root of a tooth or surrounding a tooth is irritated. Dental (tooth) infection, decay, injury, or loss of a tooth are the most common causes of dental pain.Pain sometimes comes from other areas and goes to the jaw, thus appearing to be tooth pain.
You can prevent most dental problems by having your teeth professionally cleaned twice a year. The dentist may apply sealants and fluoride, which are especially important for children's teeth.
Toothache Causes
Toothache occurs from inflammation of the central portion of the tooth called pulp. The pulp contains nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain. Inflammation of the pulp, or pulpitis, may be caused by dental cavities, trauma, and infection. Referred pain from the jaw may cause you to have symptoms of a toothache. The first step toward relief is to find out what's wrong.

Could It Be Sensitive Teeth?
If your teeth are healthy, a hard outer layer of enamel covers them to protect the nerves inside. The enamel can wear away over time. When the middle layer of your tooth is exposed, anything you eat or drink can reach your nerve endings.
Gum disease can make your teeth sensitive. Your gums shrink away from your teeth, and that exposes the roots. You also can damage your gums if you brush too hard.
A recent cleaning or a new filling may make you sensitive for a few weeks. Many people feel it after whitening treatments. An old filling that's loose or damaged can cause it, too.
Your teeth come under attack every time you eat. Bacteria cling to them until you brush them away. They produce acid, which makes the holes in your enamel called cavities.
A cavity or a crack can cause sharp pain and make your mouth sensitive when you bite down. The longer the pain lingers, the more serious the damage is likely to be.
Do You Grind Your Teeth?
This is a common problem brought on by stress, sleep disorders, or a bite issue. If you grind your teeth while you sleep, it can wear away your enamel and even cause a crack.
Could It Be Your Wisdom Teeth?
Teething hurts whether you're a baby or an adult. You're likely to feel it when your wisdom teeth start to push through your gums. Food can get stuck under the gum and cause decay and infection.
Could the Problem Be Outside Your Mouth?
Your teeth may hurt because of an issue somewhere else in your body. That's called referred pain. It can come from:
Certain kinds of headaches, like cluster and migraine
Clogged or infected sinuses
Problems in the joint or muscles that connect your jaw to your skull
Toothache Symptoms
Toothache and jaw pain are common complaints. There may be severe pain from pressure, or from hot or cold stimuli. The pain may last for longer than 15 seconds after the stimulus is removed. As the area of inflammation increases, the pain becomes more severe. It may spread to the cheek, the ear, or the jaw. Other signs and symptoms that may lead you to seek care include the following:
Pain with chewing in your teeth or jaw
Headaches
Your teeth are sensitive to heat or cold. You'll feel a couple of seconds of pain when something hot or cold hits them. Sweet or acidic foods may bother you, too.
Bleeding or discharge from around a tooth or gums
Swelling around a tooth or swelling of your jaw
Injury or trauma to the area
Bad breath
Fever
Bad taste in your mouth
Swollen glands
These signs and symptoms may sometimes be linked to dental decay, tooth fracture, or gum disease (periodontal disease). Dental decay or an area of redness around the tooth's gum line may point to the source of pain. If you tap an infected tooth, it may make the pain more intense. This sign may point to the problem tooth even if the tooth appears normal.
