Toothaches happen for a variety of reasons. In some cases, they may not even be dental-related. For example, a toothache in the upper jaw can be associated with a sinus infection or sinus pressure.
However, most of the toothaches we see result from:
- Tooth Root Infections
- Deep Tooth Decay
- Tooth Injury
- Gum Recession
Toothaches: The Common Culprits
- Tooth Root Infections: This means you have an infection in the pulp chamber of your tooth. You may also notice swelling and tooth discolouration.
- Deep Tooth Decay: Advanced and deep cavities can cause extreme tooth sensitivity and pain.
- Tooth Injury: A tooth injury can disrupt blood flow and leave your tooth at risk for an infection or loss.
- Gum Recession. Gum recession can lead to root exposure, which means tooth pain.
At Katoomba Dental Centre, we consider pain a dental emergency and want to hear from you as soon as possible.
The goal of emergency dentistry is to ease your pain and restore your oral health.
