What causes a toothache?

There are so many reasons for what causes a toothache. However, the two most common causes are:

  • A cavity is a hole in the tooth caused by tooth decay. Patients may feel sensitivity or discomfort when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods or beverages. This pain may go away quickly, too.
  • An abscess is an infection of the tissue inside a tooth caused by a dead nerve. It often occurs after a severe cavity has not been treated.

But don’t worry—we will find the root cause of your toothache and fix the problem. The sooner you seek treatment for a toothache, the better off you’ll be!

During Office Hours

If you have a cavity, an abscess, or a toothache, call our office to schedule your consultation appointment. It is essential to schedule an appointment immediately to fix the problem before it worsens. This allows us to save as much of the tooth structure as possible.
