1. Brush your teeth

Persistent toothaches can keep you up at night. This is because when you lie down, your attention to the discomfort of pain is less than when you are standing. You
can try to ease your toothache at night before going to the dentist to get a more lasting solution. For example, applying a cold compress to the affected area can reduce inflammation and provide a temporary feeling of numbness.
2.Bad oral hygiene
At night, the bacteria in your mouth are most active. They eat away at leftovers, especially food trapped between the teeth and under the gum line. They
also expel highly acidic substances that can damage teeth and gums, so it's important to brush your teeth and clean at the gum line before going to bed.
Poor oral hygiene causes many health problems and diseases, including heart disease. It occurs when plaque and bacteria in the gums enter the blood through the veins and block arteries, increasing the risk of stroke.
3. Tooth Decay
Tooth decay wears away the outer layer of the tooth, exposing the true essence of the tooth underneath and causing intense pain. What starts as a white spot on the tooth can eventually lead to tooth decay and extreme sensitivity.
Night is especially harmful to teeth because when you lie down, blood rushes to your head, increasing the stress and discomfort caused by a toothache. Luckily, there are ways to make yourself feel better while you sleep.
4. Gum disease
Mild gum disease can usually be treated with regular dental checkups and professional cleanings by a dentist or hygienist, but later cases may require more intensive treatment to reverse the effects of the infection.
5. Eat food
Toothaches can be very painful at any time of the day, but they can be especially bad at night, when blood rushes to your head and face, often putting stress on your teeth.
One of the most common causes of tooth decay is eating food that gets stuck between your teeth. You can get a popcorn kernel or an apple skin or a small seed stuck between your teeth, which can lead to pain and discomfort. The way to
avoid this situation is to brush your teeth after every meal, use your teeth line, and avoid eating foods with a high glycemic load, such as sugary drinks, cakes, cookies, and white bread.
