🌙🦷 WHY DOES YOUR TOOTH HURT ONLY AT NIGHT?
Ever notice that your tooth seems perfectly fine during the day... but starts throbbing when you're trying to sleep? 😫
Here are a few possible reasons:
⚠️ Tooth decay reaching the nerve
⚠️ Teeth grinding or clenching while sleeping
⚠️ A cracked tooth
⚠️ An infection or abscess
⚠️ Sinus pressure affecting upper teeth
The truth is, nighttime tooth pain is your body's way of telling you something isn't right.
🚨 Don't ignore it and hope it goes away.
The sooner the cause is identified, the easier it is to treat—and the better chance you have of avoiding more extensive dental work.
