Vegetarian: As a vegetarian you still need regular tooth brushing, regular flossing, and regular dental care. Your diet can be higher in acids and this can erode tooth enamel. See a dentist.

See your dentist: Most common cause for this is infected tooth. Can also be related to sinus and lung infection. Not due to vegetarian diet.
