Toothache from caries:

Very severe pain Toothache that may still be triggered by stimuli like sugar or cold but rises and falls may arise from the dental pulp and requires assessment. Depending on the diagnosis, it may require Root canal treatment root canal treatment with removal of inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue.
Prevention remains the best strategy: thorough brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, regular dental examinations and professional cleaning when indicated reduce the risk of caries and pain. Early enamel caries can be symptom-free because enamel contains no nerves. When the lesion reaches dentine and approaches the pulp, cold, sweets or other stimuli may cause pain. If pulp inflammation becomes irreversible or the pulp becomes necrotic, the pain pattern may change: spontaneous pain can sometimes decrease, but pain on biting may appear because tissues around the root become inflamed. Untreated infection can spread to bone and soft tissues and may form an abscess or apical lesion. This is why early dental assessment is useful. marked swollen cheekIf an odontogenic infection spreads into the soft tissues, an abscess can form. In the past, before modern dentistry and antibiotics, dental infections could be life-threatening. Today, early treatment greatly reduces these risks. Depending on the diagnosis, a tooth can often be preserved with root canal treatment, during which inflamed or necrotic pulp tissue is removed with endodontic instruments such as a root canal file (see image).
