Tooth Pain Management

What causes a toothache?

Toothaches can have many underlying causes, but two of the most common culprits are cavities and abscesses. Here's what you need to know:

• Cavities: Cavities are small holes in the teeth caused by tooth decay. They lead to sensitivity or discomfort, especially when consuming hot, cold, or sugary foods and drinks. While the pain may come and go quickly, untreated cavities can worsen over time.
• Abscesses: An abscess is a painful infection when the nerve inside a tooth dies. This condition is often a result of untreated cavities or severe dental issues, requiring prompt care to prevent further complications.
