What causes a dull toothache while chewing or drinking?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Pain with a cold is always related to two problems. The first is tooth sensitivity, possibly due to aggressive tooth brushing, gum recession, or a tooth crack. The second is tooth decay, which requires professional treatment. In the case of tooth sensitivity and gum recession, Longrich toothpaste can help relieve pain, which may explain why you do not feel as much discomfort now. Toothpaste like Sensodyne, which targets sensitive teeth, can also work well in this situation. They should be used twice daily and become your regular toothpaste. Their action forms a transparent layer over the exposed parts of sensitive teeth, isolating them from cold and hot sensations and preventing pain.

However, if tooth decay is the cause, the only treatment is to visit your dentist for the removal of decay and a filling. For dull pain, check for any signs of gum inflammation, such as dark red color, swelling, or easily bleeding gums in that area. If these symptoms are present, visiting your dentist is necessary for a professional cleaning to remove plaque or tartar buildup, which may be causing the inflammation. In my opinion, you should use toothpaste for at least two weeks, but only after ensuring there are no signs of gum inflammation. If the dull pain persists, visiting your dentist will be a must.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
