The herpes simplex virus (HSV) (also known as Cold Sore, Night Fever, or Fever Blister) is a virus that manifests itself in two common viral infections, each marked by painful, watery blisters in the skin or mucous membranes (such as the mouth or lips) or on the genitals.
The most common cause of a toothache is tooth decay, although toothache may not be present in the early stages of decay. Other reasons for a toothache might include:
An infection of the tooth (abscess). A red, swollen, painful bump may be found near or on the side of the sore tooth. The tooth may especially hurt when you bite down.
An impacted tooth. Gums may be red, swollen, and sore. The area around this tooth can ache, throb, and be quite painful.
Problems with or injury to the pulp, which can be caused by an injury to the face or from grinding or gnashing the teeth.
