A cavity is a defect in the enamel of a tooth, which usually but not always exposes the sensitive dentin and/or pulp to the oral environment. This causes the nerve in the tooth root to become inflammed and irritated, causing a toothache.
Other causes of a toothache would be gingivitis (gum disease), pressure on the tooth nerve (such as from an abscess) and neuritis (inflammation of the nerve). While a cavity is one of the more common causes of toothaches, it is not the only cause.
