Causes Of Toothache And How To Prevent It

Causes of Toothache

Toothaches can arise from several dental or gum issues, such as:

  • Tooth decay
  • A dental abscess (infection at the tooth root)
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Loose or damaged fillings
  • Infections, especially when a tooth, like a wisdom tooth, emerges without enough space
  • Problems caused by braces or orthodontic devices
  • Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

Tooth sensitivity can also cause pain or discomfort when exposed to hot, cold, or sweet foods.

How to Prevent Toothache

To avoid toothache, it’s important to maintain good oral health with these practices:

  • Schedule regular dental check-ups for early problem detection
  • Limit sugary foods and drinks, consuming them only during meals
  • Brush your teeth twice a day for about 2 minutes using fluoride toothpaste
  • Clean between your teeth daily with floss or an interdental brush to remove plaque and food debris
