WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR TOOTHACHE A toothache is a direct result of:
- Inflammation of the pulpal tissue of the tooth, known as pulpitis.
Or
- Infection of the tissue surrounding a dead or necrotic tooth, known as an abscess.
The cause of an abscess or pulpitis:
- Tooth decay
- Trauma to the tooth
- Large fillings
What Are The Signs Or Symptoms?
Many times the tooth that is infected or inflamed will be very sensitive to hot or especially cold. Cold drinks will cause pain to shoot through the area around the tooth. Pain when biting down and applying pressure to the tooth is also a telling sign of infection or abscess. These symtoms may linger or come and go, but once you experience them they are likely to only get worse.

There are two ways to permanently treat a toothache. The preferred method is to perform a root canal treatment. This way the tooth will no longer have any pain, but the tooth can still be functional. Root canals have come a long way over the years with technology and is now a rather comfortable procedure. The second way is to extract the tooth. The issues with extractions are the loss of a tooth which helps support the teeth adjacent to it, the jaw structure, and the opposing tooth integrity as well.
