Can Severe Toothache Cause Abnormal Behaviour In A Person?

CAN A TOOTHACHE LEAD TO INSANE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE PERSON TRYING TO HELP HER. i DON'T KNOW IF SHE HAS A TOOTHACHE ANYMORE, BUT SHE IS BECOMING MORE INSANE TO THE POINT OF PHYSICAL ABUSE. Doc it's really bad. She has a history of loosing grip, and that's bad enough, but this is insanity. It's my sons girlfriend and he has been trying to get her to the ER, but she goes crazy on him, and I mean crazy. I don't have the slightest clue whats wrong with her but something has to be done and very soon. please advise, thank you

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

Well, at time toothache can be severe and disturbing and can cause severe anxiety in the sufferer. If the sufferer is otherwise completely normal with no habit of throwing tantrums then the anxiety can be due to pain. However in that case immediate medical assistance is a must and painkiller injections and treatment of the tooth can relieve the agony and calm the patient. But in case if the behavior is completely abnormal then it might need a Psyciatric consultation as can be related to Panic attack. You can take her to Dentist and see if it helps. Painkillers oral and injectable can be given for relieving pain first along with anti anxiety medications if needed..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
