A toothache refers to pain or discomfort experienced in or around a tooth. It can range from mild to intense and may be constant or come and go. Toothaches can have various causes, including tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, infection, or grinding of teeth. The pain may be focused at a specific tooth or spread to other areas of the jaw or head. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying cause, such as filling a cavity, treating an infection with antibiotics, or performing a root canal. Over-the-counter pain relievers or numbing ointments can help manage pain temporarily. However, it is essential to see a dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent further complications.
