What Causes Toothaches to Get Worse at Night?
Many people find that lying down, especially at night, makes their toothache worse. It is biological. Blood flow is shifted toward your head by gravity while you are resting on your back. This raises the internal pressure in the pulp by increasing the volume of blood surrounding the affected tooth. What was the outcome? pain that throbs and pulses and gets worse even when you're sleeping. When the body is horizontal, the inflammatory nerve tissue responds more violently to irreversible tooth decay. It's a warning sign that the pulp of your tooth may be seriously inflamed or infected if it hurts worse when you lie down. You should probably get root canal therapy very away. A face swelling, bone infection, or abscess could result from waiting.
