toothache

Causes of toothache -

1. Temperature Sensitivity - This is one of the most common causes, in which any contact to very hot or very cold temperature suddenly causes sensitivity to the tooth and causes pain. This is more prominent when the tooth surface has been worn out earlier and the dentin part of the tooth is exposed directly to the extreme temperatures and the dentinal tubules show the maximum sensitivity. http://www.wikihow.com/User:Puppy-names
2. Dental decay or caries - Caused due to plaque formation consisting of microorganisms which slowly decays the tooth and cause pain.
3. Fracture of the tooth - This may be caused due to any accident, or improper contact of teeth within food in between and the masticatory forces being higher.
4. Cracked tooth - As the color directly hit to tooth is reflected, identifying a crack on the tooth is not easy but still this is one of the reasons for tooth pain.
5. Pulpal irritation - This can happen after any dental treatment. This can happen only if the tooth does not accept the material used for the treatment or for the filling. During this, there is some inflammatory response produced by the pulp and this leads to dental pain.
6. Improper Diet - The salivary production, the gastric production are all controlled by a biological cycle in our body and the saliva with maximum enzymes is secreted in a timely manner. So proper diet and time should be maintained, or else the infection of microorganisms become more evolved and can cause tooth pain. http://users.search-o-rama.com/Author146386.htm
7. Sugary diet - Diet containing sugary food is full of carbohydrates which are always regarded as the house for microorganisms. In a sugary environment, the bacteria grow rapidly and cause the decay and pain of the tooth.
8. Gum disease - Gum diseases like Gingivitis are one of the factors that cause the tooth pain.
9. Other than mouth - Rarely, some conditions like sinusitis, or an ear infection can also indirectly lead to tooth pain. http://wiki.name.com/en/Msary80
