Toothaches are annoying and extremely painful. The pulsating pain almost radiates through the ear lobes, jaws and head. Although they are often temporary, more serious toothaches may have an underlying cause.
Toothaches may be caused by various reasons - poor dental hygiene being the number one cause. Other causes include pulpitis, periodontisis, and damage to an old tooth filling, cavities or eruption of a wisdom tooth.
We usually come across a lot of people who are afraid of receiving dental care. They can never be persuaded to visit the dentist, not even if they have a severe toothache.
