Cavities or decay begin outside a tooth, but internal root absorption destroys tissue inside a tooth.<\/p>\n<h2>What Can Cause Tooth Pain Without a Cavity?<\/h2>\n<p>Conditions that can cause tooth pain without a cavity include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A fractured tooth can cause persistent tooth pain. A dentist will use a bright light to reveal if your tooth is fractured.<\/li>\n<li>Inflamed tissue. The tissue surrounding your tooth may be strained. The pain and inflammation in the tissue can transfer to your tooth.<\/li>\n<li>Jaw pain. Facial pain, such as pain in your jaw muscles, can refer to your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Sinus problems can refer dull, aching, or throbbing pain in your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Headaches. Migraine and cluster headaches can refer to deep pain in teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Cardiovascular problems. Heart problems can refer pain in the shoulder, neck, and even the jaw and cause pain in your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Nerve pain. Specific neurological issues can cause you to feel pain in your face, teeth, or gums.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1443\" style=\"width: 304px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1443\" class=\" wp-image-1443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dental-implants-lowell-massachusetts.jpg\" alt=\"Model of a dental implant, including the crown, abutment, and artificial root\" width=\"294\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dental-implants-lowell-massachusetts.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/dental-implants-lowell-massachusetts-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1443\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prompt care for tooth pain can decrease the need for removal and a dental implant<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Schedule an examination from your dentist for an examination and x-rays.
