When Does A Toothache Indicate Something Serious?

Whatever the severity of a toothache, it is always best to have it assessed by a dentist. Your dentist can help you manage the pain and determine the underlying cause.

Key takeaways:

• The inner pulp of a tooth can become infected through tooth decay which can be exceptionally painful.
• Advanced cavities can cause toothache before they reach the inner tooth pulp and should be treated by a dentist.
• Teeth grinding harms the teeth which can lead to toothache — and although not an emergency, it should be addressed.
