tooth pain is not always a physical cause - often plays the psyche a big role. Affected patients complain of persistent pain, which is to stress or tension in the private or professional life due. The seemingly inexplicable
tooth pain often in the mucous membrane or directly from the tooth out. Sometimes the pain radiates but also over the whole face. An important role at such psychosomatic toothache pain memory plays in the brain. There is often a trigger - for example, a new prosthesis. "Comes through an increased focus on the prosthesis to keep the pain," said proDente expert and dentist Dr. RĂ¼diger Butz.
Often, but also acute pain of the trigger. The brain registers the pain even then, if the cause is eliminated. If pain after a root canal treatment of the same tooth or the next tooth, then this is an indication that the pain has not only organic causes.
If stress makes you sick teeth and muscles
Many pain patients have an increased strain on the muscles of mastication. By pressing or grinding of teeth at night then give rise to diffuse head and neck pain. "In order to protect the teeth, the patient wears a plastic splint at night," said Dr. Butz. To ensure that only the possible harmful effects are avoided, the tension remains.
a patient complains of persistent toothache, the dentist in a larger study will first rule out any physical causes before he seeks psychological backgrounds. Thus, diffuse pain in the mouth and jaw area also have orthopedic causes. However, when stress and tension suggested that help relaxation techniques like muscle relaxation or biofeedback Jacobsen method. "Depending on the extent of a psychotherapeutic treatment may even be necessary," says Dr. Butz.
