Toothaches
Toothache is any pain or soreness within or around a tooth, which may indicate an inflammation or infection. A toothache may feel like a sharp pain or a dull ache, sensitive to pressure, heat, cold or sweets. Most toothaches get worse if not treated.
Toothaches may result from tooth decay, inflammation of the tooth pulp, abscesses, gum disease, loose or broken fillings. Cracked or impacted tooth, exposed tooth root, food wedged between the teeth or trapped below the gum line, tooth nerve irritated by clenching or grinding of teeth, pressure form congested sinuses and traumatic injury.
