1 Sometimes, the larger molars cause more discomfort due to their larger surface area that can't slice through the gum tissue as an erupting incisor is capable of doing.  Most children have a complete set of 20 deciduous teeth (known as baby teeth or milk teeth) by 30 months of age.
Nociceptive, or somatic, pain is the common discomfort we have all experienced as a result of injury -- a paper cut, a broken bone, or appendicitis, among other things. Somatic pain makes sense to us; we can understand the patient's pain.
Nociceptive Pain and Inflammation. Inflammation and nociceptive pain go hand-in-hand. Inflammation is initiated upon tissue injury and sets off a cascade of biochemical reactions that prime the nervous system for pain sensing.Moreover, long-term inflammation reinforces adaptive changes in the nervous system that can cause the sensation of pain to become exaggerated or inappropriate (Ji 2011).herefore, taking steps to ease inflammation is an effective means of interfering with the process of pain sensitization. This is why drugs like acetaminophen (the active ingredient in TylenolÂ®) and ibuprofen, which are anti-inflammatory in nature, relieve pain.
