Why is it easy to have a toothache when it's cold?
Oral health is closely related to overall health. Toothache in cold weather, in addition to the discomfort caused by inflammation in other parts of the body, the following conditions may also cause toothache:
1.Weakened immunity
If there is a problem with the tooth itself, the weakened immunity may induce acute and chronic inflammation in the mouth, such as wisdom tooth pericoronitis, mouth ulcers, pulpitis, apical periodontitis, swollen and painful gums, etc.
2.Changes in body hormones
During menstruation or pregnancy, many women are more likely to have wisdom tooth inflammation, bleeding gums, and tooth sensitivity due to changes in endocrine and body hormones.
If you add to the influence of respiratory infections and other diseases, the bacteria in the oral cavity will attack when the immunity is weakened, and when the virus invades the oral mucosa and periodontal ligament, you will often feel toothache.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Normal teeth should have no discomfort, if the tooth is painful, it is likely that the tooth is diseased or in a sub-healthy state, which is also a reminder that it is time to go to a regular dental hospital for a comprehensive oral examination.
