1: Late-Night Meals
If you’ve eaten sweets for dinner or had a sugary midnight snack, some of that food get stuck in between our teeth or gums. Because plaque thrives on sugar, forgetting to brush your teeth after a late-night meal can aggravate a toothache.
2: More Blood Flow
The main reason why toothaches are more painful at night is our sleeping position. Laying down causes more blood rush to our heads, putting extra pressure on sensitive areas, such as our mouths. We don’t feel that throbbing sensation as much during the day because we’re mostly standing or sitting.
