What Is Causing The Toothache For My 3 Years Old?

My 3year old daughter has had a toothache at the back of her mouth on the right side for a couple of days. It seems to have gotten progressively worse today. Could this be from grinding her teeth at night or what other possible causes? If so, is there anything I can do to stop the grinding of the teeth?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Grinding of teeth does not cause tooth ache. It could be a tooth caries or pulp cavity infection. I suggest you approach a pediatric dentist.
