Toothache can be a severe and distressing condition, if you suffer from it you know what I mean. It can cause the sufferer severe pain.
But what is a toothache and what causes it. It seems simple to ask that question, and with a simple answer. It's just a tooth that hurts. And it certainly is. But that doesn't describe how serious the problem is for the sufferer. And it doesn't describe how intense the pain can be.
And that simple explanation doesn't really tell you how something as simple as a tooth that hurts can impact on so many areas of your life.
There can be different variations of toothache. Like simple tooth "sensitivity" that causes pain from excessively hot or cold food. That can be caused by tooth grinding at night that exposes some of the inner layers of the tooth surfaces.
And there can be many other factors. A cracked tooth for example, or flu, or sinus problems or gingivitis. Gingivitis is a condition where the gum draws back from the edges of the teeth following the build up of tartar, usually because of inadequate brushing.
A leading cause of tooth loss in the US is gum disease that can itself cause a range of dental problems including toothache.
And it's not just dental conditions that can cause that debilitating pain. Medical conditions can also do that, and that includes some you may never have thought of. Did you know, for example, that angina can cause toothache? Or even a heart attach can manifest itself as pain in the jaw?
If your toothache is caused by serious medical or dental conditions you ought, of course, to consult a doctor or dentist and have them diagnosed and treated.
However it is still possible to reduce the pain, or even eliminate it, if you're in need of doing so, by use of some simple home remedies. This may not be a permanent solution in many cases but may well provide some much needed relief while you're waiting for the condition to be diagnosed.
