Toothache

Believer it or not, but tooth pain can put a dampener on activities, even walking or running. Toothaches can be caused by a lack of dental hygiene, receding gums, sensitive teeth, or a mixture of several issues. Be sure to prioritize visiting the dentist as you get older for routine cleaning and examinations.
