Causes Of Toothache And How To Prevent It

Causes of Toothache

Toothache can result from various dental and gum-related issues, including:

  • Tooth decay
  • A dental abscess (infection at the root of the tooth)
  • Cracked or damaged teeth
  • Loose or broken fillings
  • Infections, particularly when a tooth, like a wisdom tooth, breaks through the gum but lacks space to fully emerge
  • Problems related to braces or orthodontic devices
  • Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
  • Grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism)
