What causes Toothaches?
There are many reasons for getting a toothache. A visit your dentist will determine the reason, and identify a solution. Some of the reasons for toothache can include:
- Tooth decay – when a cavity reaches the inner part of the tooth known as the pulp or nerve, a toothache can follow! Sometimes even a small amount of decay may lead to sensitivity.
- Trauma – when you get a nasty bump on your tooth, it can lead to sensitivity on biting or with temperature changes. It is important visit a dentist immediately in the case of a trauma.
- Gum disease – if you have gum problems, pain can result due to periodontitis. The bone regresses around your teeth and can lead to aches of the gum.
- Abscess – a collection of puss is often very painful. Infections like this can spread and must be taken seriously.
- Wisdom teeth – a common reason for pain at the back of your mouth. Often impacted teeth can lead to food getting stuck around, and this can lead to pain.
- Bruxism (teeth grinding) – if you grind, your teeth may be worn down enough to reveal your dentine layer. This is the layer which has nerve receptors, often causing pain.
