Toothache & Pain Relief
Common Causes of Toothaches
Persistent pain should never be ignored, as infections can spread if left untreated.
01
Deep cavities or untreated decay
Decay reaches inner tooth layers, irritating nerves and causing persistent or sharp pain.
04
Gum disease or inflammation
Inflamed gums pull away from teeth, exposing sensitive roots and causing discomfort.
02
Dental infections or abscesses
Bacterial infection builds pressure and swelling, leading to severe pain and sensitivity.
05
Failed dental fillings or crowns
Loose or worn restorations expose tooth structure, leading to sensitivity and pain.
03
Cracked or fractured teeth
Cracks expose nerves, causing pain when chewing or with hot and cold foods.
06
Teeth grinding or jaw issues
Grinding strains teeth and jaw muscles, causing soreness, headaches, and tooth pain.
