Tooth pain is your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right — and ignoring it can make the problem worse.
Many people think toothaches only come from cavities, but there are actually several possible causes:�
• Tooth decay�
• Gum infection or inflammation�
• Cracked or damaged teeth�
• Tooth sensitivity
�• Grinding or jaw pressure
�• Hidden infections below the gumline
Even mild discomfort can be an early warning sign. Catching the issue early usually means simpler, less expensive treatment — and most importantly, less pain.
At Pleasant Smiles Family Dental, we focus on identifying the real cause of your discomfort, not just masking the symptoms. If you’ve noticed sensitivity to cold drinks, pain while chewing, or a lingering ache, it’s time to have it checked.
