Each tooth has nerve roots that can be irritated when the tooth is damaged or diseased. If you are experiencing lasting tooth pain, it is a sign you may need
dental treatment. Our caring and experienced dental team at The Smile Lounge in Grand Prairie offers a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere when you need tooth pain relief.
The most common causes of tooth pain are decay, damage or infection. If a cavity or tooth decay is not detected and removed in the early stages, it can burrow into the center of the tooth and irritate the nerves. Tooth damage from trauma or pressure, such as a crack, can also result in tooth pain. The most serious type of tooth pain is an abscess or infection inside the tooth. This can result in tooth loss or the spread of infection in the body.
