The dental origin of toothaches can include: |

Sometimes, a toothache can result from a medical condition and not have a dental origin eg. Sinusitis, Earaches. |

Patients should always consult with their dentists to make sure the toothache is of dental origin. Regular dental and medical checkups are the best line of defense in the prevention of dental and medical disease. |
