Toothache refers to severely tolerated pain. To identify and eliminate it, you need to consult a dentist. The causes of discomfort can be completely different, which is why an examination is required by a specialist who will identify the cause and conduct treatment. The most common dental disease is caries. It softens hard tissues and forms a cavity, which upon reaching the pulp begins to cause pain when in contact with food or drinks. If you do not take timely measures and do not conduct treatment, then the likelihood of developing pulpitis is high.
Pulpitis is characterized by sudden pain. At the onset of the disease, toothache is short-lived, but over time it flows into an acute form. If not treated, then pulpitis develops into periodonitis. This is a disease of the peridental tissue that becomes inflamed up to the alveolar bone around the diseased tooth. In the absence of medical intervention, the patient suffers from constant pain that passes to the facial muscles, the body temperature rises, the gums swell.
Another common disease is . These are dystrophic processes in periodontal tissues, without any signs of inflammation. In its pure form, periodontal disease is quite rare, even less often with this disease, patients go to the doctor, as there are no pain and other symptoms of the disease, the bone tissue is simply slowly destroyed. Unfortunately, periodontal disease is not treatable and the destruction process cannot be stopped. The departure of bone tissue begins without any reason, such as improper treatment or pathologies. It can be stopped, but it is impossible to completely stop the disease. Paradontosis is a systemic disease, it does not occur near one tooth.
Periodontitis is a painful disease, with all concomitant periods of remissions and exacerbations. The cause of periodontitis very often lies in improperly placed fillings, irrational crowns, etc. In this case, it is desirable eliminating the cause of the disease. As a result of this, the inflamed gums heal and other diseases of the oral cavity stop. Prevention of dental diseases is carried out to prevent the occurrence and development of oral diseases. Today this is the main direction in dentistry. It is preventive measures that make it possible to reduce the intensity of tooth decay with caries and the occurrence of periodontal diseases.
