Common dental problems that can lead to pain include:
• Enamel erosion, which is commonly a result of a diet high in acid, aggressive brushing habits, or age
• Cavities, which can cause toothaches, sensitivity, or throbbing pain
• Gum recession, which can cause sensitivity or tenderness
• Infections, which can cause throbbing pain, discomfort, heightened sensitivity, or sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
• Dental trauma, which can cause tenderness or other types of dental pain depending on the type of trauma
• Bruxism, which can cause sensitivity and tenderness
Proper treatment can alleviate the pain. You may need to address the root cause of the pain or use preventive treatments to eliminate the trigger, such as using a mouthguard for bruxism.
