Tooth pain can happen due to cavities, gum infection, sensitivity, food stuck between teeth, wisdom tooth problems, teeth grinding, or infection inside the tooth. The pain may feel worse while eating, drinking something cold or hot, or biting on food. Sometimes swelling, bad smell, or headache can also occur if the infection becomes deeper. Rinsing the mouth gently with warm salt water may help reduce irritation and keep the area cleaner. Avoid chewing on the painful side and avoid very cold, hot, or sugary foods until the tooth is examined. Maintaining proper brushing and cleaning between teeth may also help prevent worsening. Doctors or dentists may sometimes advise pain relief medicines, antibiotics, or dental procedures depending on the exact cause, but medicines should only be taken after proper medical advice. Please consult a dentist soon if the pain is severe, keeps returning, causes swelling, fever, pus, difficulty chewing, or disturbed sleep, as untreated tooth infections can sometimes spread deeper and may need procedures such as filling, cleaning, or root canal treatment.
