The chief dentist of the Russian Health Ministry Oleg Yanushevich has named the dangerous signs of pain and discomfort in the teeth, Report informs referring to Moscow 24.
According to the doctor, discomfort in the teeth may indicate sinusitis, since they are located very close to the maxillary sinuses. Unpleasant sensations can be caused by tumors due to oncological diseases that occur in the maxillary sinuses.
Besides, Yanushevich stressed that changes in weather conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity should not directly affect diseases and sensations in the teeth. Some symptoms can only be caused by cold temperatures.
“For example, in acute and chronic pulpitis, inhalation of cold air sometimes provokes pain. This does not affect the disease itself, but simply increases the intensity of the symptom,” the specialist explained.
