Specialists identified four factors for potential pain.

Toothache is not always associated with caries or inflammation of the nerve – even healthy teeth can hurt. Among the most common causes of such pain are colds and heart diseases, reports the portal “Medic Forum”.
Due to the common cold. If the paranasal sinuses become inflamed during a severe runny nose, this can cause pain in the upper row of teeth, since the irritated and swollen tissue of the maxillary sinus puts pressure on the dental nerve fibers. In this case, pain is felt not in one tooth, but on the entire surface of the upper jaw.
In airplane. The toothache that appears in a person on an airplane as soon as he gains height is known as aerodontalgia. The cause of this pain is a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure – under its influence, the air voids present in the mouth under fillings and bridges expand. Due to this expansion, pressure arises, leading to unpleasant sensations in the teeth, despite the fact that they can be healthy.
Due to migraine. Migraine or bundle headache occurs due to changes in the blood vessels of the head. Due to the special structure of the facial ternary nerve during migraine attacks, a strong throbbing pain from the upper part of the head can radiate to the teeth.
Due to heart ailments. When toothache is associated with chest discomfort, great care should be taken. Diseases such as angina pectoris or myocardial infarction are usually local in nature, but the pain that also occurs can spread and give away, for example, to the arm or lower jaw. If healthy teeth hurt due to heart problems, then such pain usually worsens with physical exertion, and may also be accompanied by shortness of breath and excessive sweating.
