Tooth Pain Causes and Remedies

Common Causes of Tooth Pain

Tooth decay occurs due to the buildup of plaque and bacteria, producing acids that damage the tooth structure.

Treatment: The decayed portion is removed, and the cavity is filled or restored with a crown, onlay, or inlay.

Gum disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar, leading to inflammation, bleeding gums, and periodontitis.

Treatment: Professional scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar. Good oral hygiene is essential to prevent progression.

A tooth abscess is a pus-filled infection caused by untreated cavities, gum disease, or trauma.

Treatment: The abscess is drained, and root canal treatment is performed. Antibiotics may be prescribed to clear the infection.

Occurs when tooth enamel wears down, or gums recede, exposing the dentin or cementum.

Treatment: Use of desensitizing toothpaste, fluoride application, or dental bonding to protect exposed dentin.

Accidents or chewing hard foods can cause tooth fractures.

Treatment: Depending on severity, treatment may include bonding, a crown, or root canal treatment.
