The following are some causes of toothache:-

Dental Cavity:-Unfortunately, tooth decay is a common problem that can lead to cavities. Toothaches and other painful symptoms are known side effects of the bacteria eating away at your teeth’s enamel layer! If you have experienced these symptoms before, it may be because you’ve developed a cavity from prolonged exposure to sugary foods or beverages like coffee and tea.

Infection:-If you are feeling some teeth pain and have an abscess or tooth infection, then it is best to see your dentist as soon as possible. Do not wait for the condition to worsen because untreated dental infections can cause serious complications such as losing a tooth (even though that sounds like something out of Game Of Thrones) and even bacterial blood poisoning!

Gingivitis:-Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontitis, an advanced gum disease with severe outcomes. The cause for gingivitis is a build-up of plaque that occurs if someone doesn’t brush and frequently floss enough or well enough. Catching and treating gingivitis at its earliest stages before it becomes periodontist will save you from making more serious consequences much worse! Gum diseases cause your teeth to shrink (and fall out!), as one symptom of this condition can be a toothache.

Tooth Sensitivity:- Tooth sensitivity is one of the toothache symptoms, which is a leading cause of toothache, but it can also be symptomatic for other conditions. For example, sensitivity could point to dental decay or gum recession which means people should have their teeth checked in order to prevent further damage and discomfort.

Cracked Teeth:-This is a call to all those who are experiencing toothache after eating hard candy, crunching on popcorn kernels, playing contact sports and receiving an injury. If this sounds like you, then please come see our dental clinic as soon as possible for treatment! You may have cracked teeth.

Wisdom Teeth:- Wisdom teeth, the last set of adult molars that erupt during puberty and later in life, can cause toothache. This pain is quite specific: dull, throbbing pain in the back of your jaw; top or bottom – but not both!

Toothache is a common occurrence and can be harmless. Still, toothaches accompanied by swelling are more likely to indicate a serious underlying issue. If you have pain in your mouth coupled with swollen gums or other signs of inflammation such as redness, it’s important that you see your dentist or doctor right away.

• Your doctor will prescribe you the medicine to help relieve your pain. Follow their instructions
• Your mouth and teeth should be kept clean. Brush your teeth after every meal with fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft toothbrush if your mouth is sore.
• You should eat and drink easy-to-chew, easy-to-swallow foods and avoid extremely hot and extremely cold drinks. Sip water at timely intervals to keep the infected area clean
• Do gargling and apply clove oil on an infected tooth with a cotton swab.
• Saltwater is a natural disinfectant and could be the answer to your toothache. Simply mix one teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water, take some, hold it in your mouth for about two minutes, then spit it out. Do not swallow, as this can make you vomit or nauseous! However, don’t let children use saltwater because they may accidentally ingest too much, which might harm them.
• Hydrogen peroxide rinse:- Instead of saltwater, you can use water mixed with hydrogen peroxide in equal parts.
• Put a cold compress against the side of your face. This will help you feel better and can reduce pain. Wrap an ice pack in cloth before placing it on your skin to keep from freezing yourself further or getting freezer burn!

Sometimes the best way to stop a toothache is by keeping your mouth clean. Brushing at least two times a day can help prevent cavities, infection and gum disease, which are more likely the causes of a toothache. The moment you notice that you have an ache, gently brush with soft bristles until it subsides or call in for emergency dental care if the pain persists after 3 days without relief!
