Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a toothache and what are the most common toothache causes?

A: Any pain that you feel within or around your tooth is a toothache. It indicates inflammation and infection, and gets even worse if not treated immediately. Here at Garden Grove Dentistry we inform our patients about different dental problems and how it can be prevented. Some of the most common toothache causes are dental caries, inflammation of the tooth, and dental abscess (where this infection of the mouth begins as a tooth cavity leading to the cause of toothache), to name a few. Cracked tooth and impacted tooth also causes toothache, as well as irritated tooth nerve and gum diseases. To prevent this, visit a dental professional for an examination and consult him or her for preventive measures to protect your self from having toothaches.
