Is it normal to have toothache after getting a face-lift injection?

Face-slimming injections are a beauty method that is becoming more and more popular nowadays. By injecting face-slimming injections, you can make your face look smaller and more delicate. Of course, many people who seek beauty will experience toothache symptoms after receiving a face-slimming injection. However, under normal circumstances, face-slimming injections will not cause toothaches. If you have toothaches, you should still go for a check-up to see if you have any of the following diseases.

1. Pulpitis

It is more common in patients with deeper caries. The bacteria enter the pulp cavity from the caries hole, causing congestion and inflammation of the dental nerve. Toothache is often spontaneous, the pain worsens at night, and is more severe after hot or cold stimulation. The pain may also radiate to the face, temples, and ears. When suffering from suppurative pulpitis, the patient's pain is aggravated by heat stimulation, while the pain is reduced or disappears by cold stimulation.

2. Periapical inflammation

Caused by factors such as the development of acute pulpitis or trauma. The diseased tooth presents persistent pain, a floating sensation, and a fear of chewing. The patient can point out the diseased tooth correctly, but tapping the tooth will cause pain. At this time, there is no stimulating pain because the nerve of the diseased tooth has been necrotic.

3. Periodontitis

The nature of the toothache is similar to that of acute periapical periodontitis. The diseased teeth not only cause chewing pain and a floating sensation, but also have formed periodontal pockets and loose teeth. The gum tissue may become swollen, painful, and bleed repeatedly.

4. Food impaction pain

When food is impacted in the gap between teeth, especially when it is blocked by hard and small food residues, it often causes toothache, which is generally called food impaction pain.

5. Periodontal abscess

Further development of periodontal tissue inflammation can cause suppurative inflammation. When an abscess is formed, the pain is severe, and a feeling of fluctuation will appear locally after the abscess is formed. After a periodontal abscess forms, the pain can be significantly reduced or relieved.

6. Tooth hypersensitivity

It is often caused by gingival recession, exposed dentin at the neck of the tooth and tooth defects. At this time, cold, hot, sweet, sour and other stimuli may cause pain, but the pain will disappear after the stimulation stops.

7. Tooth decay

Initial caries usually have no symptoms. When the caries cavity becomes larger and deeper, toothache may occur when eating. The pain will be aggravated by eating sweets or overcold or overheated food.
