Tooth Pain Treatment in Boynton Beach

While the word toothache itself seems like enough of an explanation for dental pain, a toothache can be indicative of a myriad of underlying problems and can manifest itself in many ways. The discomfort of a toothache can range from mild to severe with pain that may be momentary, comes and goes, or is ongoing and constant. You may feel a sharp pang when eating or drinking hot and cold food or beverages. In some cases, even the pressure of biting down or touching the affected tooth or area can cause exquisite discomfort. It can also be hard to decide if the pain is coming from your upper or lower tooth or if it is, in fact, a toothache or something else like a sinus problem or an earache.

Some of the most common reasons for tooth sensitivity and pain include:

•    Tooth Decay

•    A Cracked or Fractured Tooth

•    Dental Trauma

•    Broken Fillings or Loose Restorations

•    Bruxism

•    Periodontal Problems such as receding gums and root sensitivity, food impaction, or a periodontal abscess

•    An abscessed Tooth

•    Erupting and Impacted Wisdom Teeth
