Reoccuring Toothaches Signify Dental Issues

If you are having consistent toothaches, it is the perfect time to speak with your dentist. In this blog, Parkcrest Dental Group breaks down what persistent toothaches often signify, and how a dentist can help curb your dental issues and tooth pain.

What Pain Signifies

Below you will find a list of the most common reasons why you might be experiencing consistent dental aches.

Misalignment- If your teeth are misaligned, you may be having issues with pain. Misaligned teeth are also caused by wisdom teeth impaction. To correct misalignment, you may need dental appliances such as braces or Invisalign treatment.

Teeth Grinding- If you are grinding your teeth, you are damaging them. Stress and sleep often combine to cause teeth grinding. Your dentist might suggest a mouthguard that can help relieve the pressure, pain, and damage caused by teeth grinding.

Improper Dental Hygiene- If you are not brushing or flossing correctly, you might find yourself experiencing pain. You may be at risk of tooth disease. Your dentist will treat serious issues and help you develop a dental hygiene plan that works well for you and for your teeth.

Damage and Decay- Damage to a previously placed sealant or filling can cause extreme pain. Additionally, teeth that have sustained damaged from an accident or dental disease can cause a great deal of pain. Your dentist will evaluate your teeth and see what they can do to treat the issues that are causing dental pain.
