Exploring the Reasons for Toothache

by Longisland Beautiful Long Island Beautiful Smiles
The first thing that most people notice in you is your smile. Naturally it is a very big reason for your confidence which in turn plays a crucial role in enhancing your socialising skills. Naturally you want to take good care of them.

Toothache is actually nothing but a manifestation of another issue that is affecting your teeth. It is your body’s way of alerting you about a problem in your teeth when you suffer from a gut-twisting bolt of pain. It is also a reminder that your teeth are alive.

Your teeth truly are born and they grow. The dentin core of your teeth have a blood supply through the nerves that are present. Each of your tooth consists of the following.

  •     Pulp – This happens to be the centre of your teeth, filled with blood vessels, connective tissues as well as nerves. Pulp is responsible for keeping the teeth nourished and moist. Without the pulp your teeth will resemble the bleached and dried bones.
  •     Dentin – This nothing but the layer of living cells that lies beneath the enamel. Dentin is responsible for protecting your teeth and it has a direct hotline to the teeth nerves. When dentin is exposed due to the loss of enamel, you experience the sharp shooting pain associated with the sensitive teeth or cavities. Dentin is also responsible for the colour of the teeth.
  •     Enamel – This happens to be the external covering of your teeth and one of the strongest substance in your body. Enamel is responsible for protecting your teeth from the ravages of plaque and acids. Enamel does not contain any living cell and is not able to regenerate itself. That is why it is so critical to preserve it. You can prevent the erosion of your enamel by maintaining proper oral hygiene that include brushing, flossing and regular dental check-ups and cleaning.

Now that you know about the composition of each tooth we can discuss the potential reason for tooth ache.

Why Do the Teeth Ache?

The health of all these structures are directly related to your oral health. Keep it in mind that your mouth is a holistic system and if one part is going through some trouble then the other parts will also suffer.

Dental erosion and cavities are the most common cause of toothache. Bacterial activity on the teeth is the main reason why cavities are caused. The carbohydrates in the sugary food fuel these bacteria and also create acids which eat away the teeth and give rise to infection and inflammation. Erosion, on the other hand, is caused by any edibles like foods and drinks or through the regurgitated stomach acid as and when it passes through the mouth.

As the enamel erodes the dentin is exposed to the cold, heat and acids in the foods you eat and drink. When the bacteria enters the teeth’s inner layers, the living tissues in your teeth try to send frantic messages to your brain.

Apart from that, gum diseases can give rise to tremendous pain that also mimics tooth pain. This is caused when the germs slip under the gum line and the immune system gets immobilised and fails to kill them. All these are the body’s way to say that you need to visit the Veneers in Long Island who will help you to treat the issue so that you can flaunt your healthy pearls for years to come.
