Toothache is divided into:

  • Pain while eating something cold or hot.
  • Pain while eating candy.
  • Pain while biting
  • Pain with no cause
  • If the pain you have is of the first or second type, this means that there is a cavity that needs to be treated with a cosmetic filling.
  • If the pain is of the third type... This means that there is a crack in the tooth that needs to be treated, or there is inflammation in the gums and it can be treated by scaling.
  • If the pain is of the last type...in this case, the nerve is inflamed and needs immediate treatment before it forms an abscess.
