Understanding Toothache

A toothache is your body’s way of telling you something isn’t quite right with your teeth or gums. It can range from a mild, annoying throb to sharp, intense pain, and it usually signals that attention is needed.

Why It Happens
Toothaches can be caused by cavities, infections, gum disease, a cracked tooth, or sometimes even sensitivity. Whatever the cause, leaving it untreated can make the problem worse and lead to more complicated treatment.
