Toothaches can be the result of many factors. The pain of a toothache usually presents itself with the following symptoms:

a throbbing sensation which can either be intermittent or continuous. usually intensifies while eating, chewing or drinking cold and/or hot liquids. can intensify while lying down, etc.

The dental origin of toothaches can include:

	cavities
	abscess, which is an infection around the tooth or gum
	debris trapped between the teeth and/or gums
	trauma to the face and/or teeth

Sometimes, a toothache can result from a medical condition and not have a dental origin. If left unchecked, a more serious and even life threatening condition may result.
