Maggok Dental Clinic _2. Treatment methods for tooth pain when chewing vary depending on the cause

Hello.

We are Seoul Dia Dental Clinic,

carefully and thoroughly checking tooth condition

in Magok.

In Part 1,

we organized the reasons why tooth pain occurs when chewing,

focusing on the causes.

• Tooth cracks

• Progression of cavities

• Gum inflammation

Even if the symptoms feel similar,

the causes can be quite varied. Now, let’s move on to the next question.

“My tooth hurts when I chew...”

“How is this treated?”

To give the conclusion first,

the treatment method is not fixed as just one option.

That’s because

tooth pain when chewing

depends entirely on

“what the problem is.”

Now then,

[Treatment methods according to the cause of tooth pain when chewing]

“Why does it hurt → So how is it treated?”

We’ll explain it simply, one by one,

in the Seoul Dia Dental Clinic style.

How is tooth pain when chewing treated?

1. When there is a tooth crack

Every time you chew food,

the force can be transmitted through the crack,

causing pain.

So the key to treatment is

properly protecting the cracked area.

In such cases,

crown treatment may be needed to cover the tooth

and distribute the chewing force.

To put it simply, it’s like this.

What happens if you keep using

a cup with a small crack as it is?

Every time force is applied,

the crack will keep widening.

So if the outside is firmly reinforced,

it can be used longer.

Teeth are similar.

If the crack is left as it is,

every time you chew,

the gap keeps being stimulated.

That’s why in some cases,

crown treatment is performed to cover the tooth

and protect it by distributing the force.

2. When the cause is a cavity

In particular, if the cavity has deepened

and progressed close to the nerve tissue inside the tooth,

the pressure from chewing can be transmitted

and pain may appear.

At this time, the treatment method

depends on the depth of the cavity.

If it is at an early stage,

it may be resolved with resin treatment.

However, if the cavity is deeper

and has affected the nerve,

there are situations where root canal treatment

followed by a crown may be necessary.

So the important thing is not

“whether there is a cavity or not,”

but how far the cavity has progressed.

3. When the cause is gum inflammation

Just because a tooth hurts

does not always mean the tooth itself is the problem;

it may also be due to inflammation of the gum tissue.

When inflammation occurs in the gums,

the alveolar bone and surrounding tissues

that support the tooth can weaken.

When you chew in this condition,

the chewing force is transmitted directly,

and pain may occur, making you think, “Huh?”

In this case, the direction of treatment is

not to work on the tooth,

but to first calm the gum inflammation.

Usually,

• Scaling

• Gum treatment

• Inflammation management

are used to stabilize the gum condition.

As the inflammation decreases,

the pain felt when chewing often improves as well.

Key summary of today’s discussion

Treatment for tooth pain when chewing is

determined based on the cause.

1. Tooth crack → Crown treatment

2. Cavities progressing → Resin or root canal treatment

3. Gum inflammation → Gum treatment

That is why

accurately identifying the cause of the pain

is the most important thing.

When tooth pain occurs while chewing,

many people think like this.

“Is it a cavity?”

“Is it cracked?”

But in reality,

the cause is often completely different.

That is why at Seoul Dia Dental Clinic,

we diagnose by checking the tooth condition,

whether there is a crack,

and the gum condition together.

Because

even if the pain is the same,

the treatment method changes completely depending on the cause.^^

we’ll cover a question many people are curious about:
