Toothache can be caused by anything from a popcorn hull stuck in your gum to a broken tooth or a bacterial infection. Some toothaches may come from temporary gum irritation.

But serious toothaches need treatment by a dental professional to resolve the pain and whatever problem is causing it.

What is a Toothache?

A toothache is a pain in or around a tooth. Minor toothaches can come from a temporary gum irritation that you can treat at home.

More serious toothaches are caused by dental and mouth problems that won’t get better on their own and will need to be treated by a dentist.

It can be caused by:

  • Tooth Decay.
  • Abscessed tooth (a bacterial infection inside the centre of the tooth).
  • Tooth fracture (broken tooth).
  • A damaged filling.
  • Repetitive motions, such as chewing gum or grinding or clenching teeth. These motions can wear down your teeth.
  • Infected Gums.
  • Eruption (teeth coming out of the gums) or removal of a tooth (for example, wisdom teeth).

What are the symptoms of a Toothache?

The symptoms of Toothache are as follows:

  • Tooth pain that may be sharp, throbbing, or constant. In some people, pain results only when pressure is applied to the tooth (biting down on something).
  • Swelling around the tooth.
  • Fever or headache.
  • Foul-tasting drainage from the infected tooth.
  • A bad odour from the mouth.

 

If you experience trouble breathing and swallowing along with your pain, call a dental professional right away.

Myth 1

Myth

A toothache is curable and will be cured with painkillers or antibiotics easily.

Fact
Painkillers can ease the pain temporarily, and antibiotics can fight infection surrounding the tooth, neither of these cures or permanent solutions. The problem is still there and will only get worse.

Myth 2

Myth

A toothache clearly means that you have a cavity.

Fact
Sometimes a toothache can be caused by a cavity or early delay, but not always. A toothache could be associated with your bite, grinding, a chip or crack, a fracture or nerve problems.

Myth 3

Myth

Toothaches are common and normal, I should just chew on the other side.

Fact
While toothaches are common, they are an indication of a problem and should not be ignored. The longer you ignore or put up with a toothache, the worse the problem will become.

Myth 4

Myth

If the toothache gives you a slow relief, we can consider that the problem is solved.

Fact
Even if the severity of your toothache improves or even seems to disappear, it doesn’t mean the problem is resolved. Decay can cause pain and sensitivity that comes and goes, or it could mean you simply don’t feel the pain anymore because the nerve has died.

Myth 5

Myth

Using sensitive toothpaste can easily fix the toothache issue and give you relief

Fact
A toothache that responds to hot or cold foods or drinks may temporarily be eased by sensitive toothpaste, however, as with most other short term remedies, this isn’t a permanent solution and won’t actually fix the cause of the toothache.

How will the dentist treat my Toothache?

Treatment by a dental professional depends on what is causing your toothache.

  • If a cavity is causing the toothache, your dentist will fill the cavity or take the tooth out, if necessary.
  • A root canal (a procedure to remove and replace infected pulp with sealing material) may be needed if the cause of the toothache is an infection of the tooth’s nerve. Bacteria that have worked their way into the inner space of the root of the tooth cause infection.
  • An antibiotic may be prescribed if there is fever or swelling of the jaw. A small piece of food (like a popcorn hull) can get stuck under the gums causing an infection. In this instance, a deep cleaning may be performed or recommended followed by further periodontal (gum) therapy if necessary.
