You feel it at home, at work, and it\u2019s even waitingfor you when you wake up in the morning. And,if you\u2019re like most people, you probably have no clue why your tooth is hurtingin the first place! Fortunately, that\u2019s where your emergency dentist in El Renocan help. Here are the 4 most common types of dental pain, what they mightmean, and what you should do about them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Temperature Sensitivity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your teeth only hurt when they\u2019re exposed to hot or cold\ntemperatures? If so, then how long does the sensitivity last? If it\u2019s only for\na few seconds, then it\u2019s likely that some of your teeth have worn-down enamel,\nexposing the sensitive nerve. Switching to a sensitive tooth toothpaste can\nhelp with this problem, as can limiting your consumption of really hot, cold,\nor acidic drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if the sensitivity seems to linger, perhaps for\nabout 20-30 seconds, this could mean that the tooth is either cracked or has an\ninfection. In this case, it\u2019s best to give your dentist a call before the pain\nbecomes worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Dull, Persistent Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common type of dental pain, and once again,\nits duration should be noted. Does it hurt for a little while and then stop, or\nis the pain constant? Do certain foods or actions trigger it? Do you feel it in\njust one tooth or several? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the pain is both minor and constant, you might just have\nsomething stuck between your teeth, in which case you should rinse and floss\naround it. If the pain doesn\u2019t go away, then you might have a cavity that needs\nto be treated. Or, if the pain extends from your teeth down into your jaw, this\ncould be a sign that you\u2019re grinding them while you sleep. Your dentist can\nhelp with this problem as well by giving you a protective nightguard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. \u201cJabbing\u201d Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the kind of pain that is really intense for a second\nor two and then quickly goes away. Try to notice what causes it to occur. Does\nthe hurting tooth have a filling or crown? If so, this could be an indicator\nthat the restoration has come loose or\neven fallen off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sudden, sharp pain is most often due to physical damage to\nthe enamel, such as a crack or fracture. It\u2019s best to call your dentist right\naway when experiencing jabbing pain as any damaged enamel will only grow weaker\nover time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Intense, Throbbing Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of pain usually prevents people from focusing on\njust about anything else. It can stem from an injury or serious dental\ninfection, but in either case, you should call your dentist in El Reno for an\nemergency appointment as soon as possible. They\u2019ll help get rid of the pain\nright away and then work to treat the underlying cause so it doesn\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key thing to remember is to not just ignore your dental\npain as this will inevitably allow it to become worse. If it\u2019s relatively\nminor, see if you can make a few adjustments to help, but don\u2019t hesitate to\ncall your dentist if it persists. They can provide the long-term relief you\nneed so you have one less thing to worry about! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistelreno.com\/meet-your-dentists.html\">Dr. Adam Cohlmia<\/a> is a\nfamily, restorative, and emergency dentist based in El Reno.
