WHAT DOES TOOTHACHE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Toothache

Toothache,: 396 is pain in the teeth and/or their supporting structures, caused by dental diseases or pain referred to the teeth by non-dental diseases. Common causes include pulpitis, dentin hypersensitivity, apical periodontitis, dental abscesses, alveolar osteitis, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and others. Pulpitis is classified as reversible when the pain is mild to moderate and lasts for a short time after a stimulus; or irreversible when the pain is severe, spontaneous, and lasts a long time after a stimulus. Left untreated, pulpitis may become irreversible, then progress to pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis. Abscesses usually cause throbbing pain. The apical abscess usually occurs after pulp necrosis, the pericoronal abscess is usually associated with acute pericoronitis of a lower wisdom tooth, and periodontal abscesses usually represent a complication of chronic periodontitis. Much less commonly, non-dental conditions can cause toothache, such as maxillary sinusitis, which can cause pain in the upper back teeth, or angina pectoris, which can cause pain in the lower teeth.
