El dolor de dientes, o mejor dicho de muelas, puede aparecer de un momento a otro. Cuando sientes este dolor por primera vez, no hay ganas ni de comer tu plato favorito y conforme vaya empeorando, el dolor se puede volver insoportable.
En el caso de que suceda esto, es importante acudir a un experto dental. A continuación, te explicamos algunos datos a tener en cuenta sobre las causas principales del dolor de muelas.
Una de las causas más comunes del dolor de dientes es el daño del nervio que los rodea. Cuando el nervio se daña, puede volverse especialmente sensible a temperaturas frías o calientes.
Trata de un dolor causado por el deterioro de los nervios que rodean la pulpa del diente. Cuando esto sucede, se sentirá únicamente en un solo diente. Las causas más comunes en la sensibilidad pulpar son un diente astillado o agrietado, la caries dental. Además, este tipo de sensibilidad también puede aparecer como resultado de apretar o rechinar los dientes.
Afecta a muchas más zonas de la boca más allá de un diente o muela. Este tipo de dolor se produce cuando el esmalte del diente se daña, permitiendo que restos de comida o bebidas a diferentes temperaturas accedan a los nervios de los dientes. Una de las mayores causas de la sensibilidad dental es el uso continuo de productos de blanqueamiento dental, que rompe el esmalte del diente y deja los deja expuestos a cualquier daño.
El dolor del nervio dental puede desarrollarse gradualmente con el tiempo, sintiéndose inicialmente como un dolor puntual y volviéndose en una molestia más severa. Actuar sobre el dolor desde el principio puede ayudar a aliviar las molestias. Un cuidado dental regular, que incluya el uso del hilo dental y el cepillado de los dientes varias veces al día, puede ayudar a prevenir el desarrollo de este dolor. No obstante, en algunas ocasiones el dolor puede desarrollarse de todos modos. Estos son algunos de los signos más comunes del dolor del nervio dental:
Existen varios tratamientos que pueden utilizarse para ayudar a tratar el dolor de dientes como resultado de una lesión nerviosa. Los dos procedimientos dentales más comunes para tratar el daño del nervio del diente son los empastes y las endodoncias.
Un empaste es la forma más usual de reparar el diente. Con este tipo de tratamiento, el diente dañado se rellena, como su nombre bien indica, un empaste. Durante el procedimiento se adormece la zona que rodea al diente, se retira la parte cariada del diente y se utiliza el empaste para rellenar la zona dañada. Esto evitará que la comida agraven el dolor.
Durante este procedimiento, el nervio dañado se elimina por completo, así como la pulpa que rodea el diente dañado. Posteriormente, se limpia el área trabajada y se sella. Esto permitirá seguir utilizando los dientes con normalidad sin experimentar dolor.
Otros remedios para tratar el dolor del nervio incluyen el uso de pasta de dientes especializada que está diseñada para reducir la sensibilidad. Además, la higiene dental regular es la mejor forma de prevenir el daño del nervio dental, así como la mejor manera de aliviar los primeros signos de dolor.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
