There are a lot of things that can lead to pain in your teeth in London, but at the heart of it all, it will have been caused by some form of decay going on somewhere. Tooth decay is a direct result from bad oral hygiene that has allowed plaque to do its worst to your teeth and erode away at the enamel. It can also harden into tartar and this will infect the tissue that holds your teeth in place and then you are into the dangerous world of gum disease- the early signs are bleeding gums. When decay sets into your teeth, a filling will remedy the problem if you are quick- you may well notice that your teeth have become painful whenever you bite on them. Any longer and the inside of tooth will become poisoned and you will require root canal treatment in order to get over this. However, during all of this, you are leaving your mouth wide open to an abscess forming and now you can be in serious trouble; in some cases they have been known to be fatal, as they poison the bloodstream and get into the brain. Keeping ahead of the game with your oral hygiene and dental check-ups are the only ways to avoiding such awful situations in the future; if you have any doubts about any of these issues, then consult with your dentist.
