Dr. Oleg Yanushevich, chief dentist at the Russian Ministry of Health, announced that toothache may be a symptom of a serious illness.
And the doctor indicates, in a televised interview, that the pain in the upper jaw teeth may be related to a cancerous disease.
He says, “The tumor sometimes appears in the sinuses, and develops so that it can affect the teeth as well.”
As a result, he adds, feeling toothache can indicate sinusitis.
He says, “This happens because the teeth are very close to the sinuses. And when inflamed, it causes an unpleasant feeling and toothache.
And the specialist adds, changes in the weather and atmospheric pressure, as well as changes in temperature, should not affect the sensations of the teeth in any way.
Diseases causing toothache
There are some diseases that make the patient more susceptible to toothache if infected, but the patient may feel that the cause is due to a problem related to the mouth and teeth, and this is not the case:
- Ear diseases
- Drought
- Sinusitis
- heart problems
- Diseases of the digestive system
- diabetes
