What is the cause of the pain syndrome?
When a tooth is removed, some soft and bony tissues are damaged. After the procedure, they will heal about four months. In normal cases, pain should not be disturbed all this time. The ear usually hurts no more than 2 days, but sometimes it happens that the pain does not subside even a few weeks after the extraction of the tooth.
The reason for this - the previous odontogenic periostitis( it is also called a flux) or a feature of the structure of the roots.
For the treatment of teeth, specialists use anesthesia, and it has side effects. Pain sensations can be caused by the reaction of the body to a specific medication. Pain in the ear, temple or head occurs due to damage to the nerve or gum.
But most often the ear( as well as the throat, whiskey and gums) can get sick after the removal of the wisdom tooth, the reason lies in the specificity of its structure. In addition, it is difficult to get to the wisdom tooth. As a result, the tissues and nerves are damaged, and then sharp or shooting pain appears. Do not worry, the pain syndrome will abate as soon as the nerve endings are restored.
Another reason for acute and continuous pain is infection in the hole. Probable cause - disregard for the advice of a specialist. Categorically, you can not rinse the oral cavity a day after the procedure, and otherwise there is nothing to be surprised: after removing the tooth, a blood clot remains in the hole protecting the nerves and participating in the formation of bone tissue, it can not be removed.
Therefore, doctors do not advise to consume hot food or rinse the mouth cavity within 24 hours after the end of the operation. Otherwise, the blood clot resolves and there is pain, which gives in the ear and whiskey.
Acute pain, which can not be handled - an occasion to consult a dentist. The specialist will advise the means by which to rinse the mouth to remove inflammation, and prescribe drugs to eliminate pain.
Shooting sensations in the ear, as a symptom of a serious problem
One of the most common causes of pain is the alveolitis. This is an inflammation that affects the socket. This happens if the blood clot does not appear or is washed out by the patient.
The progression of the disease is signaled by the growing pain that begins to disturb after a couple of days after the tooth extraction procedure, it does not subside and gives to the head, ear, whiskey, jaw, eye, forehead. Experts explain this by the fact that the branches of the trigeminal nerve and pain fibers that are in the shells of the brain and on the walls of the vessels are irritated. This leads to the onset of pain in the area of the head and face.
Sometimes the patient raises the temperature, an unpleasant aftertaste appears in the mouth, and swallowing is accompanied by pain. It becomes difficult for a man to open his mouth. He feels pain in the muscles, joints, fatigue and drowsiness. The gums blush and swell. Bluish shade is a sign that the disease has taken a serious shape.
