Many issues can: Cause this symptom. Infection in the tooth or the gums could be the issue. Your bite can also be partly responsible. Sounds like you should get a dental exam for evaluation and ideas on what to do to correct your problem. Good luck!

A number of things: It could be a fracture, an infection, periodontal problems, a non-vital nerve, a deep cavity, or an occlusal prematurity, just to name a few. Please see a local dentist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
