Understanding "치통" (Chitong)
"치통" (chitong) is a Korean noun that directly translates to 'toothache' in English. It refers to any pain experienced in or around a tooth or teeth. This is a very common and straightforward term used in everyday conversation when discussing dental discomfort. You'll hear it used by people of all ages when they are experiencing pain that originates from their teeth, gums, or jaw related to dental issues.

When someone experiences a sharp, throbbing, or dull ache originating from their mouth, they will likely use the word "치통" to describe their condition. It's a functional term that clearly communicates the problem without needing further elaboration, though further details about the nature and location of the pain are often provided.
저는 어젯밤부터 심한 치통을 앓고 있어요.
Imagine you're at a restaurant and suddenly feel a sharp pain in your mouth. You might lean over to your dining companion and whisper, "아, 치통이 심하네" (Ah, my toothache is severe). Or, when scheduling a dentist appointment, the receptionist might ask, "어디가 불편하세요?" (Where is the discomfort?), and you would reply, "치통이 있어요" (I have a toothache).
이빨에 문제가 생긴 것 같아요. 치통이 느껴져요.
The word is essential for basic health-related communication in Korean. It's one of those fundamental terms you'll want to know if you ever need to explain a common physical ailment. Understanding "치통" allows you to express a very prevalent type of pain effectively.
갑자기 치통이 생겨서 약을 먹었어요.
Constructing Sentences with "치통"
Using "치통" (chitong) in Korean sentences is quite straightforward, as it functions as a noun referring to tooth pain. It can be the subject, object, or part of a predicate, depending on the sentence structure. The most common way to use it is to state that one has a toothache or is experiencing tooth pain.
- Subject
- -이/가 is attached to "치통" when it acts as the subject. Example: 치통이 심하다 (The toothache is severe).
- Object
- -을/를 is attached when "치통" is the direct object. Example: 치통을 느꼈다 (I felt a toothache).
- Predicate
- Often used with verbs like "있다" (to have), "앓다" (to suffer from), "느끼다" (to feel), or "견디다" (to endure). Example: 치통이 있어요 (I have a toothache).
Let's look at some common sentence structures:
나는 치통 때문에 잠을 못 잤어요.
In this sentence, "치통" is the cause of the inability to sleep. The particle "때문에" (because of) is often used with unpleasant conditions like "치통".
이가 너무 아파서 치통약을 먹었어요.
Here, "치통약" (chitongyak) is a compound word meaning 'toothache medicine'. This highlights how "치통" can be incorporated into other related terms.
치과에 가서 치통의 원인을 알아야겠어요.
This sentence uses "치통" as the object of understanding its cause. It's a practical sentence you might use when deciding to seek professional help.
When talking to a doctor or dentist, you can be more specific:
오른쪽 어금니에 치통이 있어요.
And when asking for relief:
혹시 치통에 좋은 약이 있나요?
Real-World Usage of "치통"
"치통" (chitong) is a common term that you'll encounter in various everyday situations, primarily related to health and personal well-being. Its usage is very practical and directly linked to the experience of dental pain.
- Dental Clinics
- This is the most obvious place. Dentists and dental hygienists will use "치통" when asking about your symptoms or when documenting your condition. Patients will use it to describe their pain.
- Pharmacies
- When buying over-the-counter pain relievers for dental issues, you might ask for "치통약" (toothache medicine) or explain that you have "치통".
- Conversations with Friends and Family
- If someone is visibly uncomfortable or mentions feeling unwell, they might explain, "이가 아파서 치통이 좀 있어" (My tooth hurts, so I have a bit of a toothache).
- Medical Dramas and Shows
- You'll frequently hear characters in Korean dramas or medical reality shows discussing "치통" as a symptom or a reason for seeking medical attention.
- Health Advice Columns/Websites
- Articles or online resources about dental health often use "치통" when discussing common dental problems and their treatments.
Consider a scenario where you're visiting a Korean friend and start complaining about discomfort in your mouth. You might say:
미안한데, 지금 치통이 좀 심해서 조용히 있어야 할 것 같아.
Or, in a more medical context, a doctor might ask:
어디가 가장 아프신가요? 치통이 있으신가요?
Even in casual conversation about general health, "치통" can come up:
요즘 스트레스 때문에 그런지 치통이 잦아졌어요.
The word is also used in media to describe character's ailments or plot points related to health. For instance, a character might be unable to perform a task properly due to severe "치통".
Avoiding Pitfalls with "치통"
While "치통" (chitong) is a relatively straightforward word, learners might occasionally make mistakes, especially regarding its scope and how it's used in relation to other dental terms. Understanding these common errors can help you use the word more accurately.
- Confusing "치통" with General Mouth Pain
- Mistake: Using "치통" to describe pain in the gums, tongue, or jaw that isn't directly related to a tooth.
Correction: "치통" specifically refers to pain originating from a tooth. For gum pain, you would use "잇몸 통증" (imm tongjeung). For jaw pain, "턱 통증" (teok tongjeung). - Overuse or Underuse
- Mistake: Sometimes learners might avoid using "치통" because they are unsure, or conversely, use it for any minor discomfort.
Correction: "치통" is a common and accepted term for tooth pain. Use it when you experience pain in your teeth. If the pain is very mild or temporary, you might describe it as "이가 좀 아프다" (my tooth hurts a bit), but "치통" is perfectly fine for more significant or persistent pain. - Incorrect Particle Usage
- Mistake: Forgetting to attach appropriate subject or object markers when "치통" is used as the subject or object.
Correction: Remember Korean sentence structure. If "치통" is the subject, use "치통이" (e.g., 치통이 심해요). If it's the object, use "치통을" (e.g., 치통을 느꼈어요). - Confusing with "이" (Tooth)
- Mistake: Saying something like "치통이 아프다" (toothache hurts).
Correction: "치통" itself means 'toothache' or 'pain in the tooth'. It inherently includes the concept of pain. So, you would say "치통이 있다" (I have a toothache) or "치통을 겪고 있다" (I am experiencing a toothache), not "치통이 아프다". Similarly, while "이가 아프다" (a tooth hurts) is common, "치통이 아프다" is redundant.
Let's illustrate the common mistake of redundancy:
Incorrect: 치통이 아프다.
The correct way to express this is:
Correct: 치통이 있다. (I have a toothache.) or 이가 아프다. (A tooth hurts.)
Another potential confusion arises when differentiating between general dental pain and specific issues:
Incorrect: 잇몸 치통이 심해요. (Gum toothache is severe.)
The correct approach is to separate the terms:
Correct: 잇몸이 아파요. (My gums hurt.) or 치통이 심해요. (My toothache is severe.)
Understanding the precise meaning of "치통" as tooth-specific pain is key to avoiding these common mistakes and communicating your dental discomfort accurately in Korean.
Exploring Alternatives to "치통"
While "치통" (chitong) is the standard and most direct term for toothache, Korean offers other ways to express or describe related discomfort. Understanding these nuances helps in choosing the most appropriate word for a given situation.
- "이가 아프다" (i-ga apeuda) - A Tooth Hurts
- This is a very common and direct way to say a tooth hurts. It's less formal than "치통" and is often used in everyday conversation. It focuses on the specific tooth rather than the general condition of 'toothache'.
Example: 오른쪽 이가 너무 아파요. (My right tooth hurts so much.) - "이가 시리다" (i-ga sirida) - Teeth are Sensitive
- This describes sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet stimuli, which can be a symptom of tooth decay or gum recession. It's a specific type of discomfort that might or might not be classified as a full "치통".
Example: 찬물을 마시면 이가 시려요. (My teeth feel sensitive when I drink cold water.) - "잇몸 통증" (imm tongjeung) - Gum Pain
- This specifically refers to pain in the gums, which can be caused by gingivitis, periodontitis, or other gum issues. It's important to distinguish this from "치통".
Example: 잇몸 통증이 있어서 칫솔질하기가 힘들어요. (I have gum pain, so brushing is difficult.) - "턱 통증" (teok tongjeung) - Jaw Pain
- Pain in the jaw can sometimes be related to dental problems (like impacted wisdom teeth) or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Example: 씹을 때 턱 통증이 느껴져요. (I feel jaw pain when I chew.) - "치과 진료" (chigwa jillyo) - Dental Treatment/Care
- While not a word for pain, this refers to the overall process of visiting a dentist, which is often the solution for "치통".
Example: 치통이 심해서 오늘 치과 진료를 받았어요. (My toothache was severe, so I received dental treatment today.)
Here's a comparison:
| Korean Term | English Meaning | Specificity |
|---|---|---|
| 치통 (chitong) | Toothache | General pain in teeth |
| 이가 아프다 (i-ga apeuda) | A tooth hurts | Focuses on a specific tooth |
| 이가 시리다 (i-ga sirida) | Teeth are sensitive | Sensitivity to stimuli |
| 잇몸 통증 (imm tongjeung) | Gum pain | Pain specifically in gums |
When deciding which term to use, consider the exact nature and location of the pain. If you're unsure, "이가 아프다" is a safe and common alternative to "치통" for expressing general tooth discomfort.
For example, if you want to tell a friend you have a toothache, you might say:
오늘 아침부터 치통이 너무 심해서 밥도 못 먹었어.
But if you were telling your dentist, you might be more specific:
왼쪽 아래 어금니 쪽에 치통이 느껴집니다.
Understanding these variations allows for more precise and natural communication in Korean regarding dental pain.

When '치통' is the subject of the sentence (what is being described or performing an action), you need to attach the subject particle '이' (or '가' if the preceding sound is a vowel, though '치통' ends in a consonant). '치통이 심해요' means 'The toothache is severe.'

Pronouncing '치' without aspiration.

Aspirated '치' sound.
The '치' in '치통' is an aspirated sound, meaning you release a puff of air. Failing to aspirate it can make it sound like '지' (ji), which is a different sound and word.
-
Using '치통' too broadly for any oral discomfort.
→
Use specific terms like '이가 시리다' (sensitive teeth) or '구내염' (mouth sore) when appropriate.
While '치통' is common, it's best used for actual tooth pain. For sensitivity to cold/hot ('이가 시리다') or mouth sores ('구내염'), using the specific terms provides clearer communication.
ヒント
Aspirated '치'
When pronouncing '치통', make sure the '치' sound is aspirated. This means you should release a puff of air when you say it, similar to the 't' in 'top' but with a 'ch' sound. It's not just a soft 'chee' sound.
Subject vs. Object
Remember to use the correct particles. If '치통' is the subject (what is doing the action or being described), use '치통이' or '치통가'. If it's the object (receiving the action), use '치통을' or '치통를'. For example, '치통이 심하다' (The toothache is severe) vs. '치통을 느꼈다' (I felt a toothache).
Beyond '치통'
While '치통' is the main word for toothache, learn related terms like '이가 아프다' (a tooth hurts), '충치' (cavity), and '잇몸 통증' (gum pain) for more nuanced communication about dental issues.
Visual Association
Imagine a tooth crying out in pain. Visualize the Korean word '치통' written in large letters next to this crying tooth. This visual link can help you remember the meaning.
Seeking Dental Care
In Korea, visiting a dentist for '치통' is common and encouraged. People generally don't hesitate to seek professional help for dental pain.
Describing Intensity
Use adverbs like '심한' (severe), '갑작스러운' (sudden), or '지속적인' (persistent) before '치통' to describe the nature of the pain more accurately in your writing.
Polite Request
When asking for medicine at a pharmacy, you can say: '치통약 좀 주세요.' (Chitongyak jom juseyo.) which means 'Please give me some toothache medicine.'
Recognizing Related Terms
When listening, pay attention to words like '치과' (dentist), '치료' (treatment), and '충치' (cavity) as they often appear in contexts related to '치통'.
Avoiding Redundancy
Do not say '치통이 아프다' (toothache hurts). '치통' already means 'toothache' (pain in the tooth). Instead, say '치통이 있다' (I have a toothache) or '이가 아프다' (a tooth hurts).

チャレンジ
Try to describe different types of tooth pain using '치통' and descriptive adjectives. For example, '나는 오늘 아침부터 찌릿찌릿한 치통을 느끼고 있어요.' (I've been feeling a sharp, shooting toothache since this morning.)
語源
The word "치통" (chitong) is a Sino-Korean word, meaning it is derived from Chinese characters. It is a compound word formed by combining two Hanja (Korean characters derived from Chinese).
元の意味： '치' (齒) means 'tooth', and '통' (痛) means 'pain' or 'ache'. Together, they literally mean 'tooth pain'.
Sino-Korean (derived from Chinese)文化的な背景
The term '치통' itself is not sensitive. However, discussing severe pain or the inability to eat due to '치통' might evoke sympathy and concern from listeners.
In English-speaking cultures, 'toothache' is the direct equivalent and is used in very similar contexts. The approach to managing toothache, from home remedies to professional dental care, is also largely comparable.

よくある質問
10 問'치통' (chitong) is a noun that means 'toothache,' referring to the condition of pain in the teeth. '이가 아프다' (i-ga apeuda) is a phrase that literally means 'a tooth hurts,' focusing on the symptom of a specific tooth being painful. In casual conversation, they are often used interchangeably. However, '치통' can sound slightly more formal or like a diagnosis, while '이가 아프다' is a direct statement of pain. For example, you might say '치통이 있어요' (I have a toothache) or '이가 아파요' (My tooth hurts).
Primarily, '치통' refers specifically to pain originating from the teeth. If the pain is in the gums, the correct term is '잇몸 통증' (imm tongjeung). If it's in the jaw, it's '턱 통증' (teok tongjeung). However, in some contexts, if gum or jaw pain is closely related to a dental issue that also affects the teeth, '치통' might be used loosely, but it's more accurate to use the specific terms.
Common causes of '치통' include cavities (충치), tooth decay, gum disease (잇몸 질환), cracked or broken teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, teeth grinding (bruxism), and infections. Sometimes, pain from other areas, like sinus infections, can also be felt as toothache.
The Korean term for 'toothache medicine' is '치통약' (chitongyak). It's a compound word formed from '치통' (toothache) and '약' (yak, medicine). You can ask for it at a pharmacy by saying '치통약 좀 주세요' (Chitongyak jom juseyo).
'치통' is a standard word that can be used in both formal and informal settings. It's appropriate for talking to a dentist, doctor, or pharmacist ('formal'), and also for telling friends or family about your discomfort ('neutral/informal'). While there might be slang or more casual ways to express severe pain, '치통' is universally understood and acceptable.
You can use adjectives and descriptive phrases. For example: '심한 치통' (severe toothache), '갑작스러운 치통' (sudden toothache), '지속적인 치통' (persistent toothache). You can also describe the sensation: '이가 욱신거리는 치통' (throbbing toothache), '이가 찌릿한 치통' (sharp/shooting toothache), or simply say '이가 아프다' (a tooth hurts) and describe the feeling.
If you have severe '치통', it's best to visit a dentist as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like '치통약' (toothache medicine) or ibuprofen. Rinsing your mouth with warm salt water might also provide some temporary relief. Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
While there aren't many specific idioms solely focused on '치통', phrases like '치통 때문에 죽겠다' (I'm dying because of this toothache) are used informally to express extreme discomfort. The concept of enduring pain is common, but '치통' itself doesn't have many distinct idiomatic expressions.
'치통' is pronounced 'chi-tong'. The '치' (chi) has an aspirated 'ch' sound (like in 'church' but with more air), and '통' (tong) has a 't' sound followed by an 'o' vowel and ends with an 'ng' sound (like in 'song'). The stress is generally even.
Yes, while often caused by common dental issues like cavities, persistent or severe '치통' can sometimes be a symptom of more serious conditions such as infections, impacted teeth, or even referred pain from other parts of the body like the sinuses. If the pain is severe, doesn't improve with medication, or is accompanied by fever or swelling, it's important to see a dentist or doctor promptly.
