Common Causes of Sore Teeth
Tooth pain or sensitivity can arise from a variety of dental issues. At Oval Dental in North Adelaide, we often see patients experiencing sore teeth due to:
- Tooth decay (cavities) – When decay reaches the inner layers of the tooth, it can cause sharp or lingering pain.
- Gum disease – Inflammation or infection of the gums can make teeth feel sore or loose.
- Worn enamel – Acidic foods, drinks, or teeth grinding can wear down enamel, exposing sensitive layers of the tooth.
- Cracked or chipped teeth – Even small fractures can cause discomfort when biting or chewing.
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) – Often occurring at night, this places extra stress on teeth and jaw joints.
- Dental abscesses or infections – Severe infections can cause persistent pain, swelling, or sensitivity to heat and cold.
If you’re experiencing sore teeth, it’s important not to ignore the symptoms. Early treatment at Oval Dental can relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, and restore your oral health.
