About The Video
In this video, Dr Annette from Dental Designs Clinic talks about why molars are especially prone to toothache. She explains how cavities, gum disease, tooth abscesses, cracks, and wisdom teeth can all cause pain, and what treatments may be needed to relieve it.
Molars are often harder to clean and maintain, which makes them vulnerable to dental problems. Dr Annette highlights the importance of early detection, professional care, and preventive measures, helping you understand what’s happening when your back teeth start to hurt.
Toothache in molars can feel sharp, throbbing, or dull, and the cause isn’t always obvious. Cavities are one of the most common culprits, as bacteria build up in the deep grooves of molars and cause decay. Gum disease is another frequent issue—when plaque collects along the gumline, it can lead to inflammation, bone loss, and even loose teeth. More severe pain may come from a tooth abscess, which is an infection at the root that often requires urgent treatment.
Cracked teeth are also a common problem, especially in patients who grind or clench their teeth. And of course, wisdom teeth can cause pain if they’re impacted or unable to erupt properly. If you notice ongoing pain or swelling, it’s best to see a dentist early. Proper diagnosis ensures timely treatment, prevents complications, and protects your long-term dental health.
