Why Do My Teeth Hurt?

  • March 31, 2020
  • admin_dev

Tooth pain is common among a lot of people, and the pain can range from slight sensitivity to severe aching and throbbing. There can be many reasons why this may occur. 

TOOTH SENSITIVITY

Tooth sensitivity is the most common pain among people and usually one that most try to ignore, or simply shrug off.  If you have experienced or felt uncomfortable from a sharp pain or twinge when you eat or drink any hot or cold food and drink, then you may suffer from tooth sensitivity.

TOOTH DECAY

As well as Tooth Sensitivity, another main contributor to Tooth pain is Tooth Decay,

Tooth Decay left untreated can result in Cavities. This is caused by the sugar in the foods and drinks we consume, reacting with the plaque on our teeth, which create acids, which in turn soften and dissolve our enamel (soft part of the inside of our teeth) and create a hole in your tooth – known as a cavity.

The Pain you experience from a cavity tends to be a dull ache that may be brought on when eating or biting down on something. 

If you suffer from any ongoing tooth pain, you should always consult your Dentist, but regular check-ups are a great way to maintain healthy, clean and pain free teeth. This is also important, as pain symptoms from tooth decay may not present until it is at quite an advanced stage.

OTHER REASONS YOUR TEETH MAY HURT

Besides tooth sensitivity and Tooth Decay, some other reasons you may experience Tooth pain may be:

  • Cracked Teeth – May cause discomfort and sensitivity in your tooth if dentine in your tooth is exposed
  • Infected Tooth – Intense pain, dull aching and throbbing as well as sensitivity, maybe a sign of an infected tooth
  • Dental Treatment – Some Treatments may leave you with sensitivity or soreness for a short period after treatment

PREVENTION

The best way to prevent any tooth pain, is to implement and practice a good oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly. You should brush twice daily using Flouride, as well as flossing and rinsing daily. 

Avoiding or minimising high sugar diets will also aid in preventing tooth pain.

Get to know your own mouth – regularly thoroughly checking your mouth, this way you will be able to see any changes at an early stage, and get these changes seen by a dentist. Look for any changes including spots, cuts, lesions or swelling on your gums, tongue, cheeks, inside of your lips and the floor and roof of your mouth.

Looking at your teeth for early signs of chipping or cracking, discoloration or looseness.

If signs of changes present at any stage, consult with your Dentist as soon as possible.

Regular visits to your Dentist are the best way to maintain Healthy Oral Hygiene.

As well as cleaning and check-ups, they can assist with planning and implementing an Oral Hygiene strategy that suits your Dental needs and requirements to further prevent Future ongoing pain.

I've been a patient here for more than 5 years and have been very happy with the care and service provided. Dr. Cartas and her team are always very accommodating, I'd recommend their Collins St clinic to anyone looking for a dentist in the CBD.

I have been a patient at this dentist for over 10 years and I even though I have moved away from Southbank where it was convenient I still do not mind the travel to see my usual Dentist. Very professional, quick and painless. I totally recommend getting your teeth cleaned, checked and explained to you with Blue Spa Dental. The girls here are very professional and friendly.

BEWARE! Only go here if you want terrible work done that won’t last!Got 2 front vaneers replaced and things started going wrong straight from the second appointment. My teeth were prepared for crowns instead of vaneers without concent. Wrong type of crowns then ordered. When right ones were eventually made the shape was wrong and they were too tight. I told dr cartas this but she said they’d settle in. They didn’t. Just 2 short years in, they cracked from pressure and fell out. They should last 10-15 years! One star is generous. I advised APRAH who agreed it was all done wrong, audited dr cartas and made her do courses. Save yourself the trouble. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.

Tried these guys out after my old dentist retired and had a great experience (well as great as visiting the dentist can be). The staff are very friendly and it's clear that all their patients love the place. I go to Collins St but I know they have two other locations which is handy.
