Experiencing tooth pain in Mohali? Toothache can range from mild sensitivity to severe, throbbing pain that disrupts your day. This guide covers causes of tooth pain, home remedies, professional treatment options, costs, and when to see a dentist immediately.
Common Causes of Tooth Pain
1. Tooth Decay (Cavities)
The most common cause. Bacteria break down enamel creating holes that expose sensitive layers. Early cavities cause sensitivity; deep cavities cause severe pain. Learn about cavity treatment in Mohali.
2. Tooth Infection (Abscess)
When decay reaches the nerve, it causes infection and intense throbbing pain. Requires root canal treatment or extraction.
3. Gum Disease
Infected gums cause dull, aching pain. Advanced disease leads to bone loss. See our gum treatment guide.
4. Cracked or Broken Tooth
Trauma or biting hard foods can crack teeth, causing sharp pain when chewing.
5. Wisdom Tooth Pain
Impacted wisdom teeth cause pain, swelling, and difficulty opening the mouth. Read our wisdom tooth removal guide.
