WHY DOES TOOTHACHE START AT NIGHT?

Toothache is one of the pains that many people complain about. Especially the toothache that starts at night affects the person’s daily life as well as insomnia. So why does toothache start at night? Our Medical hospital Dr. Dt. gives us important information about the question…

Pain is a prolonged and severe pain that is felt in any part of the body. We can also call it a mechanism that warns a person against internal or external harmful factors. Even if the person has control of the body, we can only perceive a feeling of pain in some tissues. And we can say that this pain is also a harbinger. The first sign in such cases as an infection, organ disorder, foreign body problems is pain.

Large caries on the teeth deepen as time progresses. With this progress, it also reaches the vessels and nerves inside the teeth. The root canals become infected. This inflammation spreads to the ducts and bones around the root. Because the blood pressure in the head and neck, that is, the vascular pressure, rises at night, the effects of bacteria and inflammation in the surrounding tissues are felt more strongly. The mechanism that restores our body works more actively at night. Since cell activation increases in “damaged” areas such as inflammation, caries, headache and, as a result, pain develop. This pulsating pain can wake a person up even from sleep.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF TOOTHACHE ON A PERSON?

Dental problems, as a mechanism, have a more severe effect than standard pains in the human body. That is why it is rightfully considered a feared situation. another factor is that the pain tablet does not respond to medications. Painkillers are often useless. Toothaches that start at night cause insomnia. It disrupts concentration during the day. In addition to the fact that there is an unpleasant sensation in the area of pain, it also has a bad effect on the circulatory system, respiration and psychology. It prevents you from focusing on daily activities and work. Since it lasts for a long time, a fall from the labor force may occur.

WHAT TO DO WITH NIGHT TOOTHACHES?

For night pains that are characterized by canal infections caused by deep caries, it is necessary to contact the dentist as soon as possible. Infected tissues need to be cleaned. But most often it can not be interfered with immediately. It may be necessary to use antibiotics or different medications before the procedures. In order to stop the pain, it may be necessary to wait for the formation of appropriate conditions. Contrary to what was previously believed, getting our aching teeth pulled out immediately should be considered the last method to be applied.

.
WHAT SHOULD NOT BE DONE WITH NIGHT TOOTHACHES?

Applying substances such as aspirin, raki, cologne to the area of the aching tooth will not bring pain, but it can also damage the surrounding tissues. time can be saved with painkillers to relieve pain, but for accurate and effective solutions, it is necessary to contact the dentist in Turkey as soon as possible.
