Causes of mouth pain

A few main causes of mouth pain are described below in order from most to least common. These include injury, dental disease, medical conditions and cancer.

Injury

Mouth pain after an injury, such as during a sports game or in a car accident, may occur due to a cut or tooth damage.

Chronic dental disease

Chronic gum and tooth disease, often due to poor oral hygiene, can lead to pain in the gums.

The progressing disease causes a predisposition to infections, which can worsen pain and result in dangerous complications.

• Cavities: Buildup of plaque from a combination of food and bacteria will eventually cause tooth decay.

  As cavities progress, tooth pain occurs with chewing and exposure to hot and cold temperatures.

• Gum disease: Plaque can also lead to chronic gum inflammation, ultimately causing the gums to pull away from the teeth.

  The gums are often swollen, red, and painful.

• Dry socket may occur after a dental extraction (tooth pull). It can cause pain, bad breath, and other symptoms.
