What complications can a toothache cause?

1. Damaged gums and tooth loss

Toothaches can have many causes. The most common are pulpitis, tooth decay or periapical periodontitis. If the toothache is caused by these factors, the periapical blood vessels will be dilated, swollen and hyperemia, which will increase the pressure on the tissue, will strongly stimulate the periapical nerve and cause severe pain. If there is no effective treatment for a long time, it is likely to damage the gums and even cause the teeth to fall out. If the condition is too severe, full-mouth teeth may become loose and lost.

2. Erosion of alveolar bone

If Painful symptoms when teeth are irritated by cold, heat, acid, and sweetness, or symptoms such as spontaneous dull and swollen pains, indicate a problem with the nerves of the teeth. At this time, if the infected material cannot be removed in time and root canal treatment of the tooth nerve is not performed, the pain will become increasingly severe, and the alveolar bone will be eroded, causing it to form a serious “fistula”. Once this happens, the tooth will not be retained and it will also cause damage to the alveolar bone. If the alveolar bone is severely damaged, dental restoration may not be possible.

3. Cause systemic disease

Toothache is mainly It is caused by various oral diseases. If there is no effective treatment for a long time, the body’s resistance will also decline, which will provide opportunities for bacteria and other pathogens. After these pathogenic bacteria enter the human body, they will cause damage to various organs and organs, and then cause various systemic diseases, such as subacute bacterial endocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis and so on.
