  • Teething discomfort (in children).
  • Wisdom tooth pain (from eruption or infection).
  • Gum infections: Gingivitis or periodontitis.
  • Mouth ulcers.
  • Tooth infections: Mild to severe.
  • Dental abscesses: Serious infections requiring urgent care.
  • Broken or chipped teeth.
  • Cracked teeth: Causing sharp pain when chewing.
  • Tooth sensitivity: Root exposure or enamel wear.
  • TMJ disorders: Jaw pain and discomfort.
  • Sinus infections can mimic tooth pain.
  • Dental trauma: From accidents or injuries.

Post-treatment dental pain

Some discomfort after dental procedures is normal, but severe or prolonged pain may indicate a complication, such as:

  • Dry socket occurs following a tooth extraction.
  • Dental abscess: After a filling or other treatment.
  • Ill-fitting dentures Can Cause sore spots or discomfort.
