When a Toothache is Not always a Toothache
Published On: Nov 20, 2023
A Toothache is Not Always a Dental Emergency
Wait, what? Toothaches can have nothing to do with teeth? Yes, it is possible and it does happen. That being said, don't assume it is not. A Toothache is typically a Dental Emergency and should still be immediately evauated by an Emergency Dentist.
How can a Toothache not come from your teeth?
Most of us have experienced a Toothache . At their mildest, toothaches may cause just enough discomfort to get on your nerves and disrupt your concentration, but at their worst, they can be debilitating. Because the pain feels like it’s coming from your tooth, it’s natural to assume that all toothaches are caused by your teeth. This is not always the case. Deluxe Dentistry's Emergency Dentist Dr. Godko will explain why not all toothaches are related to your teeth. .
Your mouth is a complex organ that contains a number of different types of tissue, nerves, and microorganisms. While run-of-the-mill dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease are responsible for the majority of toothaches, there are many other conditions that can cause localized pain in one or more teeth –and some of them have nothing to do with your teeth. Here are a few examples:
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ or TMD)
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Maxillary sinusitis
- Shingles
- Oral herpes
What’s the most important thing to remember? If you experience moderate to severe pain in your mouth, it’s time to visit Deluxe Dentistry for an Emergency Dental Evaluation. Lots of pain doesn’t necessarily mean you need emergency dental care, but it’s not worth the risk. We at Deluxe Dentistry have seen it all and we know how to care for your smile. Our Emergency Dentist will examine your mouth and help determine the source of the problem, whether or not it’s actually your teeth!
