Weather-related questions

Weather-related issues have become the dominant factor of our time. This is particularly true in summer, which brings with it heat and often extreme fronts due to global warming.

The impact of the fronts affects on average at least 20-25% of the population. For some people, they can sometimes cause serious problems and symptoms. Typically, in the case of a warm front, symptoms may appear a few hours before the front passes (drop in blood pressure, increase in heart rate, etc.), while in the case of a cold front, symptoms may appear after the front has passed (joint pains, asthma attacks, risk of premature birth, etc.). From a dental point of view, these forces can often be accompanied by very unpleasant symptoms, which can manifest themselves in the form of acute pain and inflammation.

Fresh or uncompleted root canal treatments or carious teeth can be the main focus. During fronts, the difference between the external air pressure and the internal air pressure of the body increases and the sinus and middle ear try to continuously equalize it.

However, some of the roots of the back teeth, located in our upper jawbone, run along a nerve pathway shared with the sinus. If pain develops in the sinus, it can easily radiate to our teeth, and unfortunately this process can also work in reverse. In most cases, the upper jaw is affected, but in the case of nodules, the lower jaw can of course also be affected. It is worthwhile to have a dental check-up at least once a year and to have a check-up well in advance of a long trip so that a toothache does not spoil your holiday.
