胃热、风邪、虫痛、肾虚
牙齿是骨的精华,由肾所主。外面的板牙称为“牙”,里面的齿槽骨称为“齿”。人的肾气强盛则牙齿自然坚固,肾气衰弱则牙齿必然疼痛。况且手足阳明两条经脉的脉气贯注于齿龈部位。上牙龈属于坤土,是足阳明胃经的脉气贯络之处,其特点是静止不动;下牙龈咀嚼食物时运动不休,是手阳明大肠经的脉气贯络之处。手阳明大肠经厌恶寒冷饮食而喜欢温热,足阳明胃经喜欢寒冷饮食而厌恶温热。它们的病症各不相同:有的因喜寒恶热而作痛,有的牙齿动摇而作痛,有的牙齿暴露而作痛,有的牙齿出血而作痛,有的牙齿肿胀而作痛,有的感觉受风而作痛。病因不同,治疗也各异,关键在于临证时仔细审察病因而施治。

Stomach Heat, Wind Pathogen, Worm Pain, Kidney Deficiency
Teeth are the essence of bones, governed by the Kidneys. The outer teeth are called "Ya" (teeth), and the inner alveolar bone is called "Chi" (gums/roots). When Kidney Qi is strong, teeth are naturally firm; when Kidney Qi declines, teeth inevitably become painful. Furthermore, the meridians of the Hand and Foot Yangming pass through the gingiva. The upper gums belong to Kun Earth and are connected by the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, characterized by stillness. The lower gums move during chewing and are connected by the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. The Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian dislikes cold drinks and prefers heat, while the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian prefers cold drinks and dislikes heat. Their pathologies vary: some cause pain due to preference for cold and aversion to heat; some cause pain due to loose teeth; some due to exposed roots; some due to bleeding; some due to swelling; some due to wind sensation. The causes differ, and treatment depends on careful diagnosis based on clinical presentation.
