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 arises from activation of nociceptors. Nociceptors are found in all tissues except the central nervous system (CNS). The pain is clinically proportional to the degree of activation of afferent pain fibers and can be acute or chronic (eg, somatic pain, cancer pain, postoperative pain).Neuropathic pain is caused by nerve injury or disease, as well as by involvement of nerves in other disease processes (eg, tumor, inflammation).ociceptive pain arises from activation of nociceptors.
