Patient's question:
Dental caries, acute pulpitis, chronic pulpitis, periodontitis, gingivitis, and other diseases, always say the right tooth hurts, and it's been quite a while.Doctor's answer:
Hello, toothache is one of the most common symptoms of oral cavity dental diseases. Many dental conditions can cause toothache, including common ones such as caries, acute pulpitis, chronic pulpitis, periodontitis, gingivitis, and others. Since I don't know the nature of your toothache, I can't give a definitive diagnosis. However, generally speaking, acute pulpitis often causes severe pain at night, which is a type of neuralgia. If it's an upper toothache, it may radiate to the head, while lower toothache primarily causes pain behind the ear. Regular painkillers usually cannot relieve this type of pain. In such cases, it is necessary to visit a dentist and use a dental machine to drill open the tooth and decompress the pulp chamber to alleviate the pain. Moreover, if the opportunity is missed, treating this tooth becomes more difficult.
