A member asked:
All of a sudden 2 of my teeth start aching. can it shorten my life?

Probably not!: Teeth can ache due to several different reasons (decay, gum disease, infection, sinusitis, etc). You do need to address the underlying problem but there is no reason that the dental pain would shorten your life. Do not worry! make an appointment with your dentist.

No: Tooth ache has many causes fr gum disease to decay (aka cavities). How this pain relates to your longevity of life span is not currently firmly established in literature. What is certain is the link between gum disease and heart disease, diabetes, rheumatism.
