Some thoughts...: There may be a cavity, an infection, periodontal problems, or even a fracture. The internet does not allow a definitive diagnosis, only guesstimates. That's why you need to make an appointment with a local dentist to be treated.

Concur: I agree w dr davitzanos' answer. Add to the list "malocclusion." if teeth are out of position they can be in hyperfunction which cano cause pain. Please call your dentist for an appointment to diagnose and treat your problem.

Tooth pain: A list of possibilities won't really help you in any way. Only a dentist can evaluate the cause of your specific problem and then suggest ways of eliminating the problem.
