If you have any aches or pains in your mouth, there is a chance you have a toothache. Toothaches are infections that are routinely caused by periodontal disease, cracked teeth, and tooth decay. If a toothache does occur, it is important to make sure it is treated immediately before it can do further damage. If you believe a pain in your mouth is a toothache, look for the following signs and symptoms:
– Pain continues even after using over-the-counter medications
– Facial rashes that have no known causes
– Severe pain in your mouth over 24 hours after a tooth is pulled
– Symptoms such as high fevers and chills
– Inflammation in your face
– Noticeable discharge and pus in the areas around the tooth
– Damage to your smile due to an accident or injury that has resulted in blunt trauma to a tooth
– Pain and discomfort due to erupting wisdom teeth
– TMJ disorders
