Underlying Causes of Toothaches

Posted on March 29, 2012 by admin

Everyone gets a toothache every now and then, but do you know what could be causing your pain? Sometimes, it can be a cavity, which is most people’s typical thought, but there are many more issues that could be causing soreness in your mouth. Other things that can cause your teeth to hurt are abscessed teeth, a tooth fracture, a damaged filling, chewing gum, grinding your teeth, allergies, or even infected gums.

Symptoms of toothaches can be pain that’s sharp, throbbing, or constant, having pain when pressure is applied to the tooth, swelling around the tooth, a fever, headache, or even foul tasting drainage from the tooth.

As you can see, a toothache can be more than just annoying discomfort and can also have a more severe cause than many people realize. See your dentist if your tooth hurts for more than a day or two or if the pain is severe. Our goal is to take care of your entire mouth, so that your teeth will not only look beautiful but stay healthy to help you prevent toothaches in the future.

Sinuses and Teeth Positioning – Relationship

Posted on January 17, 2010 by admin

If you have an abscess tooth, and its not hurting too bad, it could be draining in to the sinus, causing chronic sinus irritation. When you look at an x-ray of the upper tooth, the roots are visible up there and the sinus comes down – usually following a pattern of that root. In other words, the roots are holding that up and when you take the tooth out, there is constant gentle pressure there inside the sinus. The bone reacts to pressure and the bone in the maxilla is softer bone. So it does what we call numatizes that area.: the sinus starts enlarging, getting bigger because it is gently pushing that bone and the bone is resorbing (losing substance).

We see a many individuals who, when their teeth are out, have paper thin bone between the ridge and the sinus. If it’s a denture, then that can be tender all the time when they have sinus problems, and the bone goes away so we don’t have a place to put the implants. If the teeth have been removed and left our for a long time, you can still get implants, but you have to go through a grafting procedure to raise the sinus floor and grow new bone to put implants in. The other thing that is particularly prominent when you have a tooth on the side but the middle teeth are missing, is the sinus comes down and now you have a low spot where the fluids are always sitting. This makes the individual more prone to get infections.

What are some symptoms that may indicate that the sinus problems you are having may be related to your teeth? If you had a tooth taken out and you want to have it replaced you should do it sooner rather than later so that the sinus doesn’t numatize and you don’t require an extra surgery.
