You\u2019ll learn what the common causes of a toothache are and how an emergency dentist in Mobile can help to restore your oral health to normal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider This Before Having a Tooth Pulled<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a toothache strikes, the primary concern is getting relief from the pain. If it\u2019s severe enough, you may even consider asking a dentist to simply remove the tooth. While taking this route can help to quiet the discomfort, it can cause some problems down the line. For starters, the surrounding teeth can begin to shift as they attempt to reestablish the lost tension. Furthermore, you can become vulnerable to future gum infection from the teeth moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Common Causes of a Toothache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to getting relief is to know what the cause of the toothache is. The following is a list of some possible contributors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Gum Disease <\/strong>\u2013 The infection and inflammation of the gums that cause them to recess over time and leave the tooth roots vulnerable to plaque growth<\/li><li><strong>Sensitive Teeth <\/strong>\u2013 A result of the protective enamel becoming worn, leaving portions of the sensitive dentin exposed<\/li><li><strong>Bruxism <\/strong>\u2013 Teeth grinding that can lead to premature enamel wear<\/li><li><strong>Pulpitis <\/strong>\u2013 Advanced tooth decay where the center of the tooth (nerve-tooth pulp) becomes inflamed and infected<\/li><li><strong>Cracked Tooth <\/strong>\u2013 May occur from trauma to the mouth, a bad fall or attempting to bite into an item that is too hard<\/li><li><strong>Abscess Tooth <\/strong>\u2013 When tooth decay or pulpitis goes untreated and leads to a buildup of bacteria inside the pulp chamber<\/li><li><strong>Impacted Tooth <\/strong>\u2013 When an erupting tooth becomes partially or completely trapped, leaving the gums subject to painful infection<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timing Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s of the utmost importance to reach out to an emergency dentist the moment you notice signs of acute tooth pain. The sooner you seek help, the better the chances are of salvaging your tooth. The dentist will provide treatment based on your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common cause of tooth pain is aggressive oral bacteria growth that has penetrated to the pulp area. If you reach out to a dentist before the encroaching decay erodes too much of the tooth\u2019s material, root canal therapy will usually be the treatment path taken. &nbsp;It involves the dentist making an incision into the tooth, removing the decayed tissue, filling the vacated space with a special compound and sealing the pulp chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with tooth pain of any kind, don\u2019t hesitate to seek treatment. By taking immediate action, you can get the relief you need and preserve all of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hube Parker earned his dental degree from the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry.
