Is it true that when sum one has a tooth ache, a worm is eating at the tooth?

hisblud: Is it true that when sum one has a tooth ache, a worm is eating at the tooth?

No worm is involve in toothache but some bacteria can cause tooth decay which when involving the pulp(part of tooth that contain nerves) will stimulates nerves that make u have pain sensation. Aches or sensitivity could also come from wearing off of tooth surface wich results from smokersbrushes or habits like grinding teeth together etc. Pain can result from gum problems and so on and so forth

jadelyn007: Am in my early 20s n my teeth is just 28 in number.am growin a tooth ryt nw n its painful.is thr any drug I can't take to stop d oda 3 frm comin out?

no drug can stop it. The tooth is painful cos its imparcted I.e not growin properly and will not b useful for eating. The best thing is to remove it asap before it constitute nuisance. Such tooth only has disadvantages wit no advantage

dear esperiense.. im having a hole between 2 of my teeth.its the ones being used for grinding food, and its always painful whenever i chew any food. pls what can do? is it refilling or removal.. ....

goldtito: dear esperiense.. im having a hole between 2 of my teeth.its the ones being used for grinding food, and its always painful whenever i chew any food. pls what can do? is it refilling or removal.. ....

if the hole is small and the remaining tooth substance is substancial enof to retain a filling, then a root canal therapy must be done to remove source of pain first followed by filling. If the hole is big and tooth structure compromised, filling will not stay and extraction is absolutely indicated.

Can you please tell me the cost implication for scaling and polishing, and also recommend a dentist asap.

As a dentist, do u think euthymol toothpaste is good since it has antiseptic properties but doesn't contain flouride?

Love angel: As a dentist, do u think euthymol toothpaste is good since it has antiseptic properties but doesn't contain flouride?

No matter how much antiseptic u use, your mouth become colonised with bacteria again immediately after few mins, its fluoride that offers the neccessary resistance a tooth need against dis bacteria. Since u can't acheive a bacteria free mouth, we need a strong healthy teeth with fluoride to combat d relativelY constant bacterial environment in mouth. Antiseptic pastes r only reccomended as addition in some conditions not as substitutes
