1. 7 Common Potential Causes
of Toothache

2. 1 out of 7 Australian
people aged between 15
and over had a
toothache, according
to a recent study.

3. Toothache is one of
the leading dental
issues in Australia that
affects around 15% of
the population..

4. Toothache usually
offers a throbbing pain
and discomfort, which
can either come and go
or be persistent.

5. So what causes
a toothache?

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

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

8. 3. Tooth and Gum Abscess
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.

9. 4. Wisdom Teeth
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.

10. 5. Teeth Grinding
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.

11. 6. Sinusitis
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.

12. 7. Broken Tooth or Filling
This is frequently responsible
for toothache since bacteria
can enter the tooth, causing
the development of decay.

13. To prevent toothache and
other uncomfortable
dental problems, always
maintain a good oral
hygiene and see your
dentist for routine
checkups.
