What Is Causing Me A Toothache?

Toothaches are not pleasant at all.

Having one or just a sight of someone going through it is a miserable experience.

Below are a few causes of toothaches:

DENTAL RELATED CAUSES:

1. Cavities: Your cavities might be hurting & require a filling or root canal treatment (RCT).

2. Infection in fibers around the tooth- Caused by poor oral hygiene and infrequent scaling.

3. Tooth Abrasion & Erosion – Exposure of inner layer of tooth which is caused by improper brushing , teeth grinding & high acid diet. Let your Dentist do a couple of fillings to cure the pain.

4. Wisdom teeth: Gums around wisdom teeth become swollen and lead to pain at the back of the mouth. Sometimes the pain settles with cleaning of that area & maintaining a good hygiene but your Dentist might need to pull the wisdom tooth out.

NON DENTAL RELATED CAUSES:

1. Damage to nerves

2. Sinusitis

3. Cysts

4. Malignancies

So Don’t Delay & Don’t Be Scared.

Neglect can make a simple problem grow into a big one.
