Toothache and gum disease are sometimes hard to distinguish because both occur in the mouth. Both are intertwined in causing taste pain in the mouth. Toothache is almost always caused by nerve pain. The most common cause of toothache is the holes in the teeth called dental caries. Toothache can also be due to other causes such as loose teeth, gum erosion and root canal infections.
Caries is tooth decay and cause cavities. The cause is a certain bacteria that produce lactic acid from the fermentation carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.
Cavities should be treated by a dentist that did not develop into severe that it should be removed before it causes infection dangerous. Your dentist will drill a hole to clear the damage and then patch it.
Loose teeth can be very painful when chewing food. The cause is usually a loose tooth gum disease, can also be caused by accident or collision. Teeth are a little shaky still be strengthened by a tether to the nearby teeth. While rocking to the teeth any direction should be revoked.
Gums that erosion will open its roots so be sensitive to foods and beverages hotter, cooler too sour. Could be due to gum erosion as brushing your teeth too hard and gum disease. Due to take place gradually for a long time, gum erosion more common among people the age of 40 years.
Infected root canal can be very painful. The pain experienced can be spread to other areas of the face and skull. Body defend itself from infection and causes inflammation. Sometimes pus can enter the tooth roots and settled in the jaw during years so that the spread of bacteria into the bloodstream continuously.
Gum disease does not necessarily cause tooth pain although it is also caused by an infection. Experienced increased infection rate with age, making it the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
The first stage of gum disease is gingivitis or inflammation of the gums caused by sticky sludge bacteria, mucus and food particles. Sediment The so-called ‘plaque’ or ‘tartar’. The buildup of plaque around the tooth and the gum line irritate the gums causing bleeding until cause infection.
Accumulation of plaque will also widen the gap between the gums and teeth to form a cavity like a bag. These bags will gather the remnant food, causing bleeding gums and make your teeth shake. Collection of symptoms is called periodontal disease.
From the above presentation, it is clear it is known that more painful than a toothache sore gums. However, gum disease can lead to the development of toothache. So maintaining healthy gums is also essential for healthy teeth.
