What is the reason for severe tooth ache?
Patient: My daughter has just been to the dentist with tooth ache. The dentist says her tooth is loose and X-ray shows a shadow in the tooth but the dentist said there were no holes visible. She has an urgent opg tomorrow and has to see specialist dentist the day after. Any ideas what this is? It's her permanent tooth! Doctor: Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The pain in the tooth could be because of tooth infection or gum infection. the tooth can become loose secondary to bone loss or any cyst or benign tumor. consult a oral physician and get the OPG done to rule out the above said causes. if it is a tooth infection get it treated by root canal treatment.if it is gum infection get your teeth cleaned once.if it is a cyst or tumor you need to get it removed surgically.i hope my answer will help you.. take care
