Introduction
Pain in the throat and the ache in the teeth are two very common symptoms that can be seen together, often confusing the issue. But is there a connection between these two symptoms? And if so, what is the underlying cause? In this article, we'll explore the potential connection between sore throat and teeth hurt, and how to identify and treat the root cause of the pain.
The Connection Between Sore Throat and Teeth Hurt
Sore throats are typically caused by viruses or bacteria, which can cause inflammation and irritation in the upper respiratory system. This inflammation can extend to other areas, including the throat,颌骨,以及牙齿根部。
牙齿感染通常源于未治疗的蛀牙、裂缝牙齿或牙龈疾病如牙周炎。当感染进展时，细菌可以到达牙齿的牙髓，牙髓包含神经和血管。从那里，感染可以通过根管传播到周围组织，导致牙脓肿——身体免疫系统为抗击感染而形成的脓液聚积。
