Tooth Pain Relief In Hamden, CT
Tooth pain can disrupt your entire day. Whether it is a sharp ache when you bite down, constant throbbing, or sensitivity to hot and cold, you deserve answers and relief. At Connect Family Dental, we diagnose the cause of your tooth pain and provide effective treatment to stop it from coming back.
Why Does My Tooth Hurt?
You may think your tooth pain came on suddenly, but there is usually an underlying dental problem that has gone undiagnosed. The level of pain and its location in your mouth provides clues to its actual cause.
Tooth pain can feel sharp, dull, severe, or mild. You may notice pain while eating something hot or cold due to sensitivity. You may feel a sharp pain when you bite down. Constant throbbing may come with localized swelling of your gums. In some cases, tooth pain comes with jaw pain that can reach your ears and eyes.
If it is bad enough, you may need immediate care. But the dentists at Connect Family Dental have the modern equipment and experience to accurately diagnose the cause of your tooth pain and resolve it completely.

SpreadingReasons for Your Tooth Pain
Tooth pain can come from many sources, not just cavities. Here are the most common reasons you might be experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity.
Tooth Decay
Plaque and dental caries can eat away at your tooth enamel, exposing sensitive inner layers and causing pain that gets worse over time.
Tooth Infection
An abscessed tooth causes your gums to swell up and even bleed. The infection can cause severe, throbbing pain that does not go away on its own.
Tooth Fracture
Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth can cause extreme pain. Sometimes fractures go unnoticed, but continuous wear leads to severe nerve pain.
Enamel Erosion
Wearing down of the enamel exposes the dentin layer of your tooth. This causes sharp, electrifying pain especially after drinking or eating something cold or hot.
Gum Disease
Periodontal disease can cause gum recession, exposing the roots of your teeth. This leads to sensitivity and pain that can become chronic if untreated.
Teeth Grinding
Grinding or clenching your jaw, especially during sleep, puts stress on your teeth and jaw muscles. This can cause cracks in teeth and stress-related jaw pain.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth that do not have enough room to emerge can cause pain, swelling, and infection. This is especially common in young adults.
Misaligned Teeth
When your upper and lower teeth do not connect properly, chewing becomes strenuous and can cause pain in the teeth and jaw muscles.
