Tooth pain is one of the most common complaints, and it can stem from various causes. At Singh Dental Center, we’re here to help you understand and resolve your discomfort.

Causes of Tooth Pain

1. Tooth Decay: Cavities can expose the sensitive inner layers of your teeth, causing pain.

2. Gum Disease: Swollen or receding gums can expose roots, leading to sensitivity.

3. Tooth Fracture: Cracks can irritate the nerve inside your tooth.

4. Abscess: An infection near the tooth root can cause throbbing pain.

5. Bruxism: Grinding your teeth can strain the jaw and wear down enamel.
