Pain When Biting? Your Tooth May Need More Than Pain Relief
A tooth that hurts only when you bite can be easy to ignore.
Many people wait because there is no constant pain. But pain on biting can sometimes be associated with a cracked tooth, deep decay, a damaged filling or crown, inflammation around the tooth or other bite-related problems.
The important thing is to identify which tooth is causing the pain and why.
At Chennai Dental Mission, Anna Nagar, we examine the tooth, surrounding gums and bite. A dental X-ray may be required depending on the findings.
Treatment can vary considerably. Some teeth may only need adjustment or restoration. Others may require treatment for decay, a crack or inflammation inside the tooth.
Repeatedly taking pain medication without finding the cause can allow the underlying problem to continue.
