What are the causes of toothache?
There could be several possible causes for toothache. Some of them are: • Dental decay. • A fracture of the tooth. • A cracked tooth. It could be invisible to the naked eye, but can be diagnosed using advanced technologies. • Irritation of the pulp following dental treatment. Regardless of how well it is done, dental treatment and the materials used to fill teeth can sometimes cause pain later. • An exposed tooth root, which can occur if the gums recede or are damaged by over-vigorous brushing.
