ToothacheCauses

Toothache pain can range from mild to severe and can be felt in many ways, from a short sharp pain to a prolonged throbbing dull ache. Not only can toothache cause excruciating pain, but it can also lead to facial swelling as well as can be accompanied by flu-like symptoms if left untreated.

It can become worse when eating or drinking, especially if the food or drink is particularly hot or cold. Regular check-ups can be a great way to prevent a toothache from occurring in the first place.

There can be various causes for toothache, such as:

• Tooth decay
• Cracked or damaged teeth or filling
• Teeth that are actively being moved during orthodontic treatment
• Partially erupted teeth – that are covered by inflamed gum
• A dental abscess
