Every 4 or 5 days I get a light toothache.
It doesn't last long, maybe 15 minutes or less.
Do you think my tooth is damaged???

you should certainly go the Dentist, before the condition worsens. My husband had a similar experience; we waited until it became worse and his pain became unbearable. He needed a root canal, or extraction. He chose to have it extracted due to the cost. If you need an inexpensive Dental Plan you may want to consider:

You should go to a dentist to get a more accurate answer. You didn't mention what area of the mouth you're experiencing pain.
If you have consistent pain like you mentioned, it could be many things such as decay, 3rd molars erupting and crowding teeth, infections, or general tooth sensitivity.

Need to go to the dentist ASAP! If your tooth is aching on its own,you might be needing a Root Canal..Do not wait before it abscess on you.
Good luck!

possibly. May have a cavity or something irritating it, causing the ache. Rinsing w warm/hot water may do the trick.

THE FACT THAT THIS PAIN IS NOT SEVERE OR CONSTANT SPEAKS OF POSSIBLE WISDOM TEETH ATTEMPTING TO COME IN. THE ONLY WAY TO DEFINITELY TELL IS TO SEE A DENTIST FOR SOME X-RAYS.
