The best way to prevent toothache is to keep teeth and gums, to get try to limit consumption of sweet foods and liquids at mealtimes (avoid sticky sweets, because they stick to the tooth). You always have to brush your teeth after meals, using a fluoride toothpaste.

You should use dental floss to clean the spaces between the teeth or interdental brushes in place (always according to the recommendations of your dentist). Go to your dentist regularly for preventive checkups, and if necessary, treated early any problems.

What should I do if I have toothache?

The first thing to do is go to a dentist as soon as possible to avoid what in principle is a slight problem, turn into something serious that requires hospital treatment. We will not take antibiotics without a prescription, they may be unnecessary, and are sometimes ineffective in treating major diseases by improper use.If you take painkillers to ease pain, keep in mind that some of the relievers on the market that can be harmful if taken without medical supervision (dizziness, vomiting, stomach ulcer, etc.). Therefore always seek medical so that it is he who chooses the most suitable according to the intensity of pain, drug allergies, previous illnesses, etc.

How can you help the dentist?

- In the case of pulpitis, once the dentist is the cause, usually resolved with a simple filling of the affected part.

- If we are dealing with an abscess of dental origin (and there is pus formation and swelling of the area), you should always evacuate the contents of the abscess, also instituting appropriate antibiotic therapy.

- When the inflammation predominates and still has not formed pus comes to cellulite dental origin, the dentist will try antibiotic treatment and the tooth that caused the infection.

- If the status of the tooth causing the abscess can not be repaired should be removed once the patient is receiving antibiotic treatment. If instead the piece can be repaired will be drained the abscess and then perform endodontic (pulp canal filling) of the affected part if required.

What can happen if it is not the cause of dental pain?

If we do not receive appropriate treatment, we can develop an infection that spread to the rest of the mouth, face, and even the neck. These infections are far from unimportant and may even cause severe eating difficulties (for inability to open mouth) and breathe (the large swelling at times are up to), then being potentially dangerous to our lives.

Special care must be people with disorders or diseases that alter the body’s defense mechanisms (remember AIDS) because if infections are most dangerous. Another group of people at risk for severe complications to the infections are diabetics, due to his illness (especially if long-term).

The popularly known as toothache is probably the most common cause of facial pain in the region, being caused in most cases by an acute pulpitis (inflammation of the pulp cavity of the tooth). It usually appears as a sharp, severe pain, which occurs in response to stimuli such as cold foods, hot or sweet.

When inflammation progresses can lead to dental infection, initially located in the pulp canal, but if left untreated will spread around the tooth causing, and even beyond, the pain is so intense and continuous, increasing clearly if we press the causative tooth.

What are the causes of dental pain?

- Dental Caries

- Dental fracture

- Dental fissure (it’s a broken tooth fragments that have not moved and may not be visible, but allowing the passage of germs in the oral cavity into the pulp canal)- Irritation after performing dental treatment. It sometimes happens that after dental work performed, materials used can cause discomfort in this local irritation, despite being successful.

- Exposed tooth roots. This occurs when gums recede and fall leaving visible part of the tooth root, it should not normally be visible and contact with hot or cold foods may cause a painful shock.

At other times there are problems that can cause pain similar to dental, not being located the source of pain in the tooth itself:

- Abscesses or boils gum (periodontal)

- Ulcers (sores) located in the gum (as in acute ulcerative gingivitis)

- Pericoronitis, inflammation of the gum surrounding a tooth that is trying to emerge from its natural position the jaws (very common when they start out well-known as “wisdom teeth”, especially the lower)

- Sinusitis, inflammation of the natural cavities surrounding the nasal cavity (depending on the cavity is affected, we will speak of frontal sinusitis, jaw, etc.).

- Arthritis of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain, usually located in front of the ears, which usually increases when moving jaw, and may radiate to other areas of the face.

There are many other causes of pain in the mouth may be mild or severe, so it is always advisable to consult a specialist to clarify the origin of the severe discomfort and discard processes.

It is worth remembering that sometimes a pain that seems to be originated in or near a tooth has its true origin in another location nearby or distant.

Sometimes you can make the tooth reimplantation if you follow these steps:

- Going to a dentist urgently

- The bone surrounding the tooth (alveolus) is not heavily damaged

- The patient’s general condition permits.

Baby teeth should not be reimplanted because it could damage the permanent tooth beneath, in the case and a piece that will eventually be replaced by a permanent tooth (we have natural turnover).

If the gum around the tooth is damaged (injury), may be necessary for the dentist or oral surgeon have to give stitches.

When what has occurred is a breakdown of the tooth, the dentist can rebuild it using the detached fragment, or by filling a similar color to the damaged tooth.You need to place a device that helps to immobilize the replanted teeth or moving after the impact, for that the dentist places a splint that holds the teeth reimplanted mobile, the surrounding teeth to remain firm for a time variable.

If there are wounds in the oral cavity or other locations, you may need antibiotics, and in selected cases vaccine or tetanus booster.

The dentist should regularly check the condition of the tooth rebuilt or replanted by clinical examination and radiographs, in the case of sutured wounds have the stitches removed in approximately 7-10 days.

What can happen if I do not medical-dental?

When a lost tooth is exposed to the cavity containing the tooth (alveolus), or in the case of fracture-fissure the pulp canal (internal cavity dental) is connected to the mouth. These situations favor the passage of germs from the oral cavity to the alveoli, or into the tooth can cause other infections that can become very serious.

In the case of tooth loss is accompanied by injuries to mouth, lips, face, or any other nearby area (a fact which is often the case), should be seen by a specialist in treating these injuries (maxillofacial surgeon).

What prognosis has a replanted tooth?

A very important factor when assessing the prognosis of a dental reimplantation is the maturity of the tooth is lost, so a piece of a child who is not fully formed roots have much better prognosis than a fully developed tooth an adult.

- If reimplantation is performed before the first hour of tooth loss are likely to return the tooth to be nourished by new blood vessels, and survive for a long time.

- If, however, reimplantation is performed after an hour, I make it stand firm in the dental arch, but with time (variable period of months to 5 years or so) will end up losing due to increased mobility or local inflammation.

When some of the teeth we have is hit or external impact (resulting for example from a punch, hit with blunt object, etc.) Or internal (sudden closing of the mouth, for example by hitting hard chin), the teeth can tear, break or come loose, increasing mobility, or cracked (broken tooth fragments remaining attached).

Immediate treatment clearly increases the chances of saving the tooth.

What should we do when we have a case of dental injury?

When we suffer an accident that affects the face or near the mouth, we must:- Check the status of the teeth looking in a mirror or a finger gently touching the tooth crown (visible part of the tooth).

- Find teeth or fragments thereof that we lack, to take them to the dentist.

- Will save the tooth or fragment in a clean container with any of the following fluids: blood, saliva, serum, or milk, being of better quality transport the blood to be shed as a result of tooth loss.

- If you do not have containers to the transfer, the patient is an adult, and it is conscious, you can save it under your tongue.

- See a dentist urgently. The chances of successfully re-implant a tooth that has been lost by an accident increase greatly the earlier any reimplantation (ideally do so before the first half hour after trauma).

- If an accident occurs as a result of a significant injury of the lips, gums, or bone supporting the teeth (dental-alveolar fracture) may need to be examined and treated by a maxillofacial surgeon, as well as rule out serious facial injuries requiring emergency treatment (broken jaw, suturing wounds of complex or affect important areas, etc.).
