If you’ve ever experienced a toothache, you know how debilitating it can be. Also known as dental pain, a toothache can range from mild to severe, and it can end quickly or linger for a longer period of time. It can affect people of all ages, and it’s one of the top reasons that dental appointments are made. Sometimes the pain is simply a sensitivity you notice in response to hot or cold liquids or foods; this isn’t necessarily a problem as some people just have sensitive teeth, but if it’s a new experience, you should have it checked out as it may indicate a problem.Some common causes of toothache include dental trauma, inflammation and complications such as dry socket following an extraction. Whatever is behind the pain, it’s important to treat it so that it doesn’t continue or get worse. Your dentist will check your teeth regularly for soft spots or other indications that teeth may be decaying. It’s important to keep track of any symptoms of toothache and share them with your dentist so that you’re properly treated. Take note of things like when you notice the pain, how long it lasts, whether it’s sharp or dull and anything else you believe may be related. Here are some of the causes of toothache:

1. Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is a common problem that can affect people of all ages and walks of life. From small babies and teens to adults and the elderly, teeth can experience damage in and on their hard surfaces, and that can lead to holes that allow food to become trapped creating further problems. There are a number of causes of tooth decay, but whatever is behind it, it can manifest with a vast array of symptoms including constant pain, fever and toothache. Also known as cavities or dental caries, tooth decay is at a higher risk of developing among those who consume candy and sweet drinks as well as frequent snacks that expose the mouth to bacteria especially if their mouths aren't cleaned afterward through dental hygiene.The damage of tooth decay is permanent and must be treated as early as possible to ensure the best results. The longer your teeth aren’t treated, the more likely you are to have damage that extends deeper into the tooth as well as the surrounding areas. If you visit your dentist regularly and practice good oral hygiene habits, you’ll be able to keep an eye out for the development of decay and treat it accordingly.Next
