What causes tooth pain?

Tooth pain indicates a serious issue with the tooth. Having the affected area examined and treated as soon as possible is key to simplifying the dental treatment process.

In simple terms, severe tooth pain is caused by damage to the nerve of the tooth. The nerve of the tooth becomes inflamed, then evtually becomes infected and an abscess occurs causing you more pain and swelling.

Please be aware, when left untreated, the pain can become debilitating and the bone around the tooth can become damaged, releasing toxins into the blood stream.
