Patient's question:
I've had toothache on the left upper side in these past few days, among which one tooth has moved slightly, but I feel that all the upper right teeth are aching. Besides heart disease, what is the relationship between toothache and heart disease?Doctor's answer:
One characteristic of heart disease is the presence of radiating pain, where the pain in the chest area can be reflected to other parts of the body. When a heart attack recurs, it may manifest as toothache. Toothache can typically occur simultaneously with heart pain or appear as a standalone symptom without heart pain. Therefore, when middle-aged and elderly individuals experience toothache, it is important to pay attention and consider the possibility of heart disease.
