Most of us in Goose Creek have experienced a toothache. At their mildest, toothaches may cause just enough discomfort to get on your nerves and disrupt your concentration, but at their worst, they can be debilitating. Because the pain feels like it’s coming from your tooth, it’s natural to assume that all toothaches are caused by cavities, gum disease or some other tooth-related problem. However, Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams would like you to know that not all toothaches are related to your teeth.
Wait, what? Toothaches that have nothing to do with teeth? Yes– as anyone at Carolina Complete Dental will tell you –it is possible and it does happen. That being said, most toothaches are tooth-related.
How can a toothache not come from your tooth?
