Causes Of Tooth Pain

Tooth pain can have various causes, and understanding them is crucial in finding the right treatment. Tooth decay, also known as cavities, is a primary cause of tooth pain. In addition, bacteria break down the tooth's outer layer, leading to sensitivity and discomfort.

Another major cause of constant tooth pain is inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis or periodontitis, which can cause tooth pain. Gum disease can result from poor oral hygiene, leading to bacterial growth and damage to the supporting structures of the teeth.

Rinse Your Mouth With Warm Saltwater

Mixing salt in warm water can help reduce swelling and alleviate discomfort. Gently swish the solution around your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting it out.

Gently Floss Around The Affected Tooth

Sometimes, tooth pain can be caused by food particles or debris stuck between your teeth. Carefully flossing around the painful tooth can help remove trapped particles and relieve irritation.

Apply A Cold Compress

Placing a cold pack or ice wrapped in a thin cloth on the outside of your cheek near the painful area can help reduce swelling and numb the area, providing temporary relief.
