There could be many reasons for a toothache. Decay, infection in the jaw, TM joint disease, cracked tooth, exposed roots, gum disease and infections and therefore it is best to have a dental visit to determine what is causing your specific symptoms. Hope you feel better soon.

There are multiple reasons that a tooth has pain. It is important that you consult with your dentist as soon as possible.
There are numerous causes for toothaches. However, if you have one then something is not right. Have your dentist check it out. If you are near Oxon Hill MD stop by for a complimentary consultation and x ray and I'll figure it out. 301-567-9844. Hope this helps.

There is could be a multitude of reasons for a toothache. Infected tooth due to a cavity. Trauma related issues. Periodontal disease or an infection under the gum tissue.

Tooth pain can be caused any number of different reasons. These reasons can range from the obscure to the obvious. The best way handle this question is with a purposeful exam with a trusted dentist. Teeth are designed not to hurt. They can soldier on under the most harsh conditions. So when they hurt, that is cause for alarm and worth a visit to your dentist. I hope this turns out well for you.
Pain in a tooth could be caused by a number of reasons: #1 being tooth decay and infection into the pulpal tissues or nerves of the tooth; #2 Trauma of any kind and #3 gum disease whereby the tooth is very sensitive to hot and cold stimuli. Go and see a dentist for an exam and evaluation.

Stop playing "twenty questions" about causes for pain in a tooth! See a dentist!

There are so many things that could be attributing to your pain. My 1st advise is get to a Dentist for proper evaluation. An X-ray would be helpful and quite necessary. Look for a Dentist who has time to talk to you and who can explain options. My advise on treatment is go with "predictability"; ie long term solution vs quick fix!

Anything that irritates the exposed nerve endings in the central pulp of the tooth can cause pain. Examples are heat, cold, pressure, on a pulp exposed by cavities or trauma.
