You\u2019ll need an exam and possibly X-rays to find out for sure what\u2019s at the root of a toothache, but we go into more detail about the different types of aches and pains that can occur below. No matter what\u2019s causing the pain, don\u2019t wait to schedule an appointment to get it taken care of ASAP!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Is Your Toothache Like This?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sensitivity to hot and cold foods or beverages: This momentary pain does not usually indicate a serious problem, but it may if it lasts for a long time. Tooth sensitivity can be caused by weak enamel, gum recession, or something else. You may want to try brushing your teeth with an anti-sensitivity toothpaste &#8212; if that doesn\u2019t help, see your dentist soon. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sharp pain when you bite down on something: This is something you\u2019ll notice, and the quick flash of pain will probably take you by (unpleasant) surprise. If you experience pain when you bite down on food, you may have a cavity, a loose filling, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dbishopendo.com\/fractured-teeth.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">fractured tooth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or a crack in the tooth. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe pain or pressure: This type of toothache may be accompanied by gum swelling or sensitivity to touch. You should schedule an appointment with your dentist right away, as this may indicate an abscessed tooth that requires immediate treatment. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A dull ache in the teeth, jaw, or a persistent headache: This type of pain may seem like something you can live with, but a visit to your dentist may result in a diagnosis for bruxism &#8212; or nighttime teeth grinding. A customized mouthguard can help to cushion the tooth enamel from this damaging (and painful) habit. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fix an Ache As Soon As Possible<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Healthy teeth should not hurt. If you experience any type of tooth pain, it is important that you see a professional right away. This is especially important for a severe toothache, as an abscessed tooth can quickly cause problems with your overall health. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you come into our office with a toothache, we will evaluate the situation and ensure that you receive the treatment you need as soon as possible. An emergency root canal, for example, can rescue a severely damaged tooth and quickly get you out of pain. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next time you or a loved one experience a toothache in Huntsville, don\u2019t wait to get in touch with a professional. Doing so will protect your oral and overall health &#8212; and could save your smile in the process! <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">About the Author<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Deborah S.
