Top 5 Reasons Why you May be Having a Toothache

If you experienced a bad toothache you know how awful it can feel.  Toothaches are typically the most common dental concern that people report.  There are many reasons why we can have tooth pain. Here are our top 5 reasons:

Tooth Decay

When most of us hear toothache, we think of cavities. Tooth decay can definitely cause pain. The deeper the decay, the more severe the symptoms. If the decay reaches the center of the tooth the pain will likely be quite severe. For most people it will be difficult to carry on with everyday activities.

Tooth Abscess

An abscess is an infection in or around your tooth.  An infected tooth will have a pocket of pus form around its root.  Most of the time, this will result in a more widespread pulsating pain that may make it difficult to pinpoint the exact location the pain is coming from.  Tooth abscess pain often gets worse at night when lying down.

Damaged/failing filling A broken filling can expose sensitive parts of your tooth. This can result in a pain that is anything from a dull ache to a sharp, piercing sensation. If you have a damaged filling, it should be fixed before the vulnerable parts of your tooth suffer further damage or decay. Gum Disease Gum disease often causes red, swollen and bleeding gums. The inflammation can also cause a dull toothache. Temperature sensitivity Temperature sensitivity is quite common.  It typically is a sharp tooth pain when eating or drinking something cold or hot. Usually this sensation lasts for only a few seconds. Most of the time we experience temperature sensitivity when we have worn enamel or root exposure. Read the full article
