Atoothache is usually related to an underlying dental condition such as a cavity, a cracked tooth, an infection or gum disease. Sometimes, grinding and clenching at night can even lead to teeth that become bothersome. Toothaches can vary from mild sensitivity to severe pain.

​

Regardless of the severity of the pain, you should be seen for a thorough exam including x-rays of the tooth in question to ensure that there is not any active infection occurring inside of your teeth and jaw.
