Each tooth is connected to an organ in the body: pain in any of them can predict future problems.

 

Pain in the incisors may indicate chronic pyelonephritis, urinary tract infections, or otitis.

 

Persistent pain in the first incisor could be related to hepatitis or cholecystitis.

 

Pain in the premolars, especially the lower ones, may suggest asthma or chronic lung problems.

 

Upper molars can hurt in cases of gastritis, duodenal ulcers, or anemia.

 

Pain in the lower molars could be linked to arteriosclerosis, colitis or joint inflammation.

 

Wisdom tooth pain could reflect heart or bowel problems.

 

Recommendations and tips

 

Don’t ignore tooth pain, even if you think there is no cavities. It could be a warning of something deeper.

 

Always consult a dentist to rule out real oral problems before considering other causes.

 

Notice if pain appears in an extracted tooth, as so-called “phantom ailments” could signal internal imbalances.

 

Maintain a general medical check-up and perform regular checkups if you experience repeated pain in specific areas of your mouth.

 

Keep track of your dental pain and compare it to symptoms from other parts of your body. This could facilitate more accurate diagnoses.

 

Take care of your digestive and respiratory health, as many dental discomforts are related to these systems.

 

Avoid self-medication and always seek the advice of health professionals.

 

Prevention is essential: good oral hygiene and a balanced diet reduce not only dental problems, but also the risk of systemic diseases.
