For example, your teeth enamel may already be worn down by an excessive habit of teeth grinding called bruxism. Sometimes, people with severe sinus infection also feel their gums seem to be tender & sore, along with mild toothaches. Meanwhile, there are also cases where toothache is one of the results of temporomandibular joint disorders. It may also occur when there is an infection in the mouth or inside the gum line. Often, impacted wisdom teeth can also be the cause.

Toothache, particularly a constant, throbbing one, may even be caused by an abscessed or cracked tooth, though there is no outward appearance of the infection. Gingivitis, while a common cause for toothache, is also a serious one. If left untreated, it may lead to more serious complications like periodontal disease. Periodontal disease happens when gingivitis has progressed deep into the mouth that bacteria have already inflamed and infected the bone structure at the base of the teeth. Sometimes, fillings in the teeth may be dislodged, opening up cavities causing pain.
