Four Common Types of Tooth Pain and Indications for Each<\/span><\/h3>\n

Different problems are associated with different types of toothache. These are the four most common types of pain as we see daily in our Lincoln dental office. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dull, Chronic Pain<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is perhaps the most common type of toothache — the one that\u2019s always there with you. Ranging from mild to severe, this tooth pain can indicate nighttime tooth grinding, advanced tooth decay which has reached to the tooth\u2019s nerve or it could be the result of a past traumatic injury to the tooth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shooting Pain in One or More Teeth<\/span><\/h4>\n

Also a highly common discomfort felt by our patients, a sharp, shooting pain can signify tooth sensitivity or worn enamel due to aggressive brushing. Gum recession, tooth decay and cracked tooth can also cause shooting pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pain While Eating<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tooth decay, sensitivity or a cracked tooth can all cause you to experience pain while eating. If biting down in a certain area makes you say ouch, you\u2019ve got a problem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chronic Throbbing Pain<\/span><\/h4>\n

When severe throbbing pain exists in the mouth, it\u2019s more often than not a signal of a serious tooth infection or abscess. The face, lymph nodes and jaw will usually be swollen as a result of this type of pain, too. This problem requires immediate attention from your Lincoln dentist. <\/span><\/p>\n

Watch Out for Dental Emergencies<\/span><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t mistake a true dental emergency for a toothache. If you or a loved one experience any of the following symptoms related to oral infection, call your emergency dentist or visit the emergency room immediately — your well being depends on fast treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n
