Your teeth and gums are trying to get your attention.
When you have a toothache, your teeth and gums are trying to get your attention because they want to be healthy. Often, inflammation in the pulp of the tooth — the soft inside — causes the constant, throbbing pain that makes toothaches so hard to bear.
Each tooth has nerve endings in its pulp that are extremely sensitive. When aggravated by bacteria, they react by sending pain signals to tell you something is wrong. It can be mild or almost unbearable. No matter the severity, it's time to visit us whenever you get dental pain.
