What's wrong with toothache before menstruation?

Toothache before menstruation may be caused by not paying attention to oral hygiene, increased hormone secretion or periodontitis. If the symptoms are severe, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and carry out targeted treatment after the cause is determined.

1. Not paying attention to oral hygiene: Not paying attention to oral hygiene and not brushing teeth in daily life usually causes dental plaque and swollen gums, which in turn causes gingivitis and premenstrual toothache. When you have premenstrual toothache, you can apply ice or rinse your mouth with light salt water to relieve it. You should develop good oral hygiene habits and brush your teeth on time.

2. Increased hormone secretion: Before menstruation, women have hormone disorders in their bodies, and all parts of the body generally become sensitive. If you eat some hot or cold stimulating foods before menstruation, it will irritate the teeth and cause tooth pain, swelling or congestion. We should adjust our eating habits and avoid eating too much spicy and greasy food to reduce the irritation to the teeth.

3. Periodontitis: If you suffer from periodontitis and other diseases, you will be stimulated by estrogen before menstruation, which will lead to aggravated inflammation and toothache. The pain of periodontitis is similar to that of apical periodontitis, but it is also accompanied by loose periodontal pockets, loose teeth, and repeated bleeding of gingival tissue. You should go to the hospital in time and take metronidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor.

There are many reasons for toothache before menstruation, such as periodontal abscess, gingival atrophy, etc. Women should pay attention to a light and easily digestible diet before menstruation. Pay attention to dental hygiene in daily life to avoid bacterial infection causing gingivitis.
