Which dental conditions can cause tooth pain?

Toothache may be caused by various dental conditions. 1. Dental caries is one of the most common dental diseases. When caries progresses to the moderate or advanced stages and cavities form in the teeth, they may trigger tooth pain. 2. Acute pulpitis is another cause of toothache. This inflammation often develops from oral problems such as dental caries. When bacteria invade the pulp chamber, the dental nerve becomes inflamed, resulting in severe tooth pain. 3. Periodontitis, a common oral disease, may also cause tooth pain when exposed to hot or cold stimuli. 4. Besides the above conditions, tooth injuries and periapical diseases (such as acute or chronic apical periodontitis) can also lead to toothache. When tooth pain occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.
