The Top 7 Causes of Toothache

1 out of 7 Australian people aged between 15

and over had a toothache, according to a recent

study.

Toothache is one of the leading dental issues in

Australia that affects around 15% of the population..

Toothache usually offers a throbbing pain and

discomfort, which can either come and go or be

persistent.

So what causes a toothache?

Also referred to as dental caries and the most common source of toothache that is caused by plaque build-up.

1. Tooth Decay

When the gums shrink away from the teeth, this exposes the sensitive parts of the tooth and cause pain such as toothache.

2. Receding Gums

Dental abscess is often caused by bacterial infection that can initiate swelling of the face, gum swelling, severe pain, as well as tender teeth and gums.

3. Tooth and Gum Abscess

Impacted wisdom teeth cause throbbing and sharp pain due to a tooth that’s in an undesirable position trying to erupt into the gum line.

4. Wisdom Teeth

Grinding the teeth can harm the ligament around a tooth. The extra forces on teeth could trigger inflammation in the tooth’s nerve, causing toothache.

5. Teeth Grinding

When you have sinusitis, the pressure from your sinuses typically indicated to some upper teeth. Sinusitis can also bad breath and is linked to gum disease.

6. Sinusitis

This is frequently responsible for toothache since bacteria can enter the tooth, causing the development of decay.

7. Broken Tooth or Filling

To prevent toothache and other uncomfortable dental problems, always maintain

a good oral hygiene and see your dentist for routine

checkups.
