why does a tooth ache hurt worse than a cut on your arm.

Many of senstive nerves are right under
your teeth. Gum is also very close to our
brain , where we all feel the pain.

Because there are more nerve endings involved. When you cut your arm you typically severe nerve endings so there is no more feeling in them but a tooth ache is an injury so there are pain receptors thus pain.

the tooth sit right on the nerve and you must cut pretty deep to hit a nerve in the arm.
