  2. Barodontalgia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barodontalgia

    Sometimes, pressure changes damage teeth (rather than just causing pain). When the external pressure rises or falls and the trapped air within the void cannot expand or contract to balance the external pressure, the pressure difference on the rigid structure of the tooth can occasionally induce stresses sufficient to fracture the tooth or dislodge a filling. [16]

  3. Toothache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

    The treatment depends on the cause of the toothache, and frequently a clinical decision regarding the current state and long-term prognosis of the affected tooth, as well as the individual's wishes and ability to cope with dental treatment, will influence the treatment choice.

  4. Pulpitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulpitis

    When the pulp becomes inflamed, pressure begins to build up in the pulp cavity, exerting pressure on the nerve of the tooth and the surrounding tissues. Pressure from inflammation can cause mild to extreme pain, depending upon the severity of the inflammation and the body's response. Unlike other parts of the body where pressure can dissipate ...

  5. Dentin hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin_hypersensitivity

    Repeated exposures to a low pH cause the mineral content of the teeth on the outer layer of enamel to dissolve therefore leaving the dentine exposed and leading to hypersensitivity. Other causes include dental bleaching, smoking tobacco (which can lead to recession and therefore sensitivity) cracked teeth and abfraction or grinding of teeth ...

  6. Dental abscess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_abscess

    Putting pressure or warmth on the tooth may induce extreme pain. The area may be sensitive to touch and possibly swollen as well. This swelling may be present at either the base of the tooth, the gum, and/or the cheek, and sometimes can be reduced by applying ice packs. An acute abscess may be painless but still have a swelling present on the gum.

  8. Dental emergency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_emergency

    The cause of a tooth crack can be by excessive force applied to a healthy tooth or physiologic forces applied to a weakened tooth. The teeth most commonly involved are usually the lower molars, followed by the upper premolars and molars. The condition is extremely common in the age range of 30–60 years. [2]

  9. Hydrodynamic theory (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_theory...

    This causes shifts in pressure within the dentine, which stimulate the myelinated nerves located in the pulp, causing the sensation of pain. [9] The main nerve fibres responsible for responding to the stimuli are mostly type A-beta (Aβ) , [ 10 ] which carry tactile information, [ 11 ] and some A-delta (Aδ) nerves, [ 12 ] which relay pain and ...
