Toothaches in children caused by trauma. It is common for children to accidentally fall and injure their teeth. Sometimes they bite on gravel or bones while eating, causing traumatic apical periodontitis and pain.

Solution: If the tooth is just a little loose, then you just need to take some anti-inflammatory drugs and let the affected tooth rest for a week; if the tooth is broken, you need to ask the doctor to extract the exposed dental nerve under anesthesia and then fill the tooth or extract it.

Tooth decay causes pain: Tooth decay is a common cause of toothache, especially in children.

Solution: Take your child to the dental hospital immediately and let the doctor use a dental drill to grind the tooth open. Add some anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine and the problem will be cured and the pain will be relieved immediately.

Pain caused by apical periodontitis: In addition to pain, there is also redness and swelling of tooth caries, floating teeth, and in severe cases, swelling of the face, swollen submandibular lymph nodes, and fever symptoms.
