Surely, you can think of better ways to spend a day than\nhaving to deal with a toothache. If possible, you\u2019d like to prevent<\/a> one\nfrom happening. One way to protect yourself is to know what contributes to the\nissue. As you continue reading, a local dentist lists the 10 most common\nreasons for a toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 \u2013 Tooth Decay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The leading cause of a toothache is oral bacteria that have\nbeen allowed to accumulate for a prolonged period. If unaddressed, they can\npenetrate deep into the tooth to cause severe decay that triggers intense pain\nsensations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 \u2013 Tooth Abscess<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advanced tooth decay that goes untreated can eventually\ntravel to the root to cause a painful abscess. Because it can radiate pain\nthroughout your jaw, it can be difficult to diagnose. If an abscess is ignored,\nthe infection could soon spread to other parts of your body to cause even more health\nproblems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 \u2013 Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When plaque accumulates in your mouth, it can sink beneath\nthe gum line to cause germ pockets to form, which is the first stage of periodontal\n(gum) disease. The condition, which is the infection and inflammation of the\nsoft tissue, can cause irritated, swollen and bleeding gums, and even referred\ntooth pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 \u2013 Tooth Fracture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A tooth can become cracked or broken either through a fall,\nsudden blow or biting down into something too hard or sticky. If you feel pain,\nthen it means that the fracture is deep enough to impact the area where the\nnerve endings are housed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 \u2013 Temperature Sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth are covered by a protective layer called the\nenamel. If it becomes worn, eating or drinking hot or cold items can cause a\nsharp pain to radiate throughout the tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 \u2013 Damaged Fillings or Dental Sealants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the things fillings and sealants have in common is\nthat they are placed to protect the sensitive areas of a tooth. When either\ncomponent is damaged or missing, it can leave your tooth susceptible to foreign\nobjects and oral bacteria entering. The result can be a dull ache or sharp\npain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 \u2013 Teeth Grinding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you tend to grind your teeth (also called bruxism), the\nviolent jaw clenching and abrasive force can lead to cracked or chipped teeth. Along\nwith jaw soreness and headaches, one of the warning signs can be a toothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8 \u2013 Improper Brushing or Flossing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the misconceptions about cleaning your teeth is that\nthe more force you use, the better. Taking a more aggressive approach can spell\nproblems down the road, as it can lead to sore and bleeding gums, and even\ntooth pain from premature enamel wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9 \u2013 Misaligned Teeth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your teeth are designed to coexist with each other, but for\nthat to happen, they must be properly aligned. Any imbalanced teeth can begin\nto push on the surrounding ivories, and in some cases, this can cause a\ntoothache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10 \u2013 Orthodontic Alignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you undergo bite correction, you can expect some slight\ndiscomfort. However, some people may experience more pain than others. If the\ndiscomfort becomes extremely unpleasant, then you should bring it to your\northodontist\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what type of tooth pain you may be experiencing, it\u2019s\nalways better to be evaluated by an emergency dentist to eliminate any guessing.\nFurthermore, if there happens to be a problem, it can be nipped in the bud\nbefore it gets worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
