Hi..
Not necessary all cavities in teeth will have pain. So if you have pain then please get xray done so diagnosis becomes easy.

Hi.. Yes the tooth ache is most commonly due to cavity. It could be because of other reasons as well. It can be solved by root canal or in worst case extraction. Visit dentist ASAP..

Although there are many causes of tooth ache, the most common causes are deep cavities leading to pulp infection and gum disease. For temporary pain relief, you can take any painkiller. I would advice you to visit your dentist so that exact cause of pain can be identified and complete treatment can be done.
