Key Takeaways

  1. Toothaches have many causes, from gum disease to jaw clenching, but tooth root sensitivity can also cause a tooth to ache.
  2. If the root exposure is not severe, try using a special toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth that contains fluoride and other minerals.
  3. Try a soft bristle toothbrush to avoid irritating your gums, which can increase the risk of root exposure and sensitivity.
