Why Does Your Toothache Get Worse at Night?
Bedtime can make dental pain more noticeable.
– Fewer distractions can highlight the pain
– Lying down may affect pressure sensations
– Nighttime grinding can add discomfort
– Pain relief doesn’t address the cause
A toothache can seem much stronger when you’re trying to sleep. With fewer distractions, changes in pressure while lying down, or nighttime teeth grinding, dental discomfort may become harder to ignore.
Pain medication may provide temporary relief, but recurring or persistent tooth pain should be properly assessed. New Era Dentist in Maple Ridge can help identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
