Few things are as frustrating as a toothache. A sudden pain\nin your mouth can disrupt your entire day and prevent you from eating or even\nsmiling without severe discomfort. You would do just about anything to find out\nwhere your toothache<\/a>\ncame from. Luckily, an emergency dentist in Lynchburg has written this guide on\nwhat your tooth pain might mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dull Nagging Toothache <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the most common kind of toothache, this pain is usually\nmild and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen.\nHowever, these medications should not be used as a substitute for actual\ntreatment. Many people believe that a dull toothache is normal, but this simply\nisn\u2019t true. No matter how mild your tooth pain is, you should seek emergency\ntreatment before it worsens. This kind of discomfort is most commonly seen in\npeople who chronically grind their teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intermittent \u201cJabbing\u201d Pains <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This type of toothache is not so much an ache as it is an\nirregular \u201cstabbing\u201d sensation that occurs in one or several teeth, usually in response\nto a stimulus, such as opening your mouth or eating something hot or cold. It typically\ncomes and goes, but when it appears, it\u2019s extremely painful. It may be caused\nby a cavity, dental abscess, or a crack in the tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharp Sensitivity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This variety of tooth pain is similar to the one described\nabove, but only happens when you eat or drink something very hot or cold, such\nas ice cream or coffee. Sometimes, cold air can even cause this pain. It could\nbe the result of an abscess or cavity, but it\u2019s also frequently seen in people\nwith receding gums or those who brush their teeth too roughly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain Only When Eating <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your mouth hurts when you chew, it may be due to a cavity\nor fracture in one of your teeth. Although this type of pain can be managed\nwith store-bought pain medication, you should still contact your dentist before\nthe situation worsens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pain at the Back of the Jaw <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While not as common as the rest, a pain in the back of the\njaw usually signifies impacted wisdom teeth, which have failed to break through\nthe gumline. If left untreated, your wisdom teeth can push against other teeth\nand trap food particles that may cause painful infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any of these kinds of toothaches sound familiar, call and\nset up an appointment with your emergency dentist in Lynchburg as soon as you\ncan. They can get to the root of your pain and alleviate it as quickly as\npossible so that you can return to your normal life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
