Tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth using sugar from foods and drinks to produce acids that dissolve and damage the teeth. Tooth decay involving pulp, the nerve tissue; leading to pain. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning, root canal treatment & capping. Dental tips: - visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

Hello lybrate-user, healthy tooth should not pain while having dates or any sweet food. If you feel toothache while having it might be because of tooth decay or due to loose gums (gum recession, if not both then dentist need to inspect the teeth for any enamel defect. All conditions are treated quite differently so I suggest you to visit your dentist.
