Toothache usually occurs as a result of certain dental problems. It is a highly uncomfortable pain felt in the tooth, jaw, and sometimes specific areas of the face. It directly affects and lowers quality of life. In most cases, it is a severe type of pain. Toothache may arise from many causes, such as gum irritation or tooth decay. Minor gum irritation may cause temporary toothache that resolves on its own, but some dental issues can lead to more serious problems.

Despite all modern advancements in oral and dental health, our teeth may gradually decay over time, and many of us can experience tooth loss due to injury or disease. Implant treatment is a method applied to prevent tooth loss and provide a healthier, more reliable, more aesthetic, and long-lasting solution. It involves placing artificial tooth roots—made of titanium and its alloys—into the jawbone to replace missing teeth.
