Why is a toothache worse at night?
Toothaches are unpleasant at any time of the day, but many of our patients notice the pain worsening at night. Why is that? It’s usually one or a combination of factors, including:
- Your sleeping position causes more blood to rush to your head, putting increased pressure on your mouth
- Your brain has fewer distractions at night, and you may become more aware of sensations in your body
- It’s possible that you suffer from unconscious tooth grinding at night, which can aggravate any pain — or may even be the cause of your tooth sensitivity or pain!
