Symptom 3: Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity is a common ailment; many experience a sharp twinge when consuming something too hot or cold. However, when linked to Parulis, this sensitivity is amplified and becomes persistent. It’s not just about the occasional discomfort; it’s a consistent reaction that can make regular eating or drinking an ordeal.
At its core, tooth sensitivity arises from the exposure of the inner layers of the tooth, called dentin. With Parulis, the associated infection and inflammation can exacerbate this exposure, leading to heightened sensitivity. Teeth adjacent to the affected gum are primarily at risk.
This heightened sensitivity isn’t limited to temperature extremes. One might also experience discomfort while consuming sweet or acidic foods and beverages. In some cases, even the act of brushing or flossing can become painful, leading individuals to avoid these essential oral hygiene practices, which can further compound the problem.
A critical aspect to consider is that while tooth sensitivity can arise from multiple causes, like receding gums or enamel erosion, when it’s in conjunction with symptoms like gum swelling or pus discharge, it becomes a significant red flag pointing towards Parulis. (3)
