Toothaches occur due to several reasons. Some are caused by fractures while others occur as a symptom of an underlying infection. But what exactly are the leading causes of toothaches? Here’s what you should know.
Key takeaway:
- Extreme tooth decay can cause cavities which may cause sharp, constant pain in and around your tooth.
- Bruxism or teeth grinding can also cause severe toothaches if left untreated.
- Gum disease can not only cause pain, but it can also increase sensitivity and result in loose teeth.
