Top five causes of tooth pain

While there tend to be many causes for why someone would be experiencing tooth pain, the following are the top five causes. Understand that when someone is experiencing any form of dental pain, it means that something is wrong. Because pain does not usually go away by itself, making an emergency trip to the dentist may just be necessary.

1. Tooth damage

When a tooth sustains damage, it is much more susceptible to pain due to the exposed nerves. The more severe the damage to the tooth, the more severe the pain will be for the patient.

2. Teeth grinding

When someone grinds their teeth, they are slowly removing the protective outer layer of the tooth. With a weaker outer layer, the inner and more sensitive layer faces exposure.

3. Tooth decay

When a tooth begins to deteriorate, it begins to lose both the outer and inner layers. The exposed tooth roots can experience extreme sensitivity and severe pain.

4. Abscessed tooth

An abscessed tooth means that the tooth is infected and will cause various levels of pain. Patients will feel a throbbing sensation as well.

5. Damaged fillings

When the fillings in a tooth sustain damage, they can expose the nerves and/or actually touch the nerves. Both of these scenarios have the ability to cause occasional and severe pain.
