What can cause upper canine teeth to hurt?

A few thoughts...: Cavities, periodontal disease, bone loss, fractures, grinding, and sinusitis. Hard to say what might be your problem. Make an appointment with a local dentist.

See a dentist ASAP: If you have a toothache, you may have a cavity or advanced gum disease. A tooth pain won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. You can use NSAID OTC or Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain control. See your dentist ASAP.
