Emergency Dental Care for Toothache: Prompt Relief and Expert Care

Toothache can be incredibly painful and disruptive, often signalling an underlying dental issue that requires immediate attention.

At 25 Devonshire Place, we offer emergency dental care for toothache, providing prompt, expert treatment to relieve your discomfort and address the root cause of the pain.

Whether your toothache is caused by decay, infection, injury, or another issue, we’re here to help you find relief and restore your oral health.

What Causes Toothache?

Toothache can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

• Cavities: Tooth decay can cause sensitivity and sharp pain when the cavity reaches the nerve of the tooth.
• Infections: An abscess or infection in the tooth or gums can lead to severe, throbbing pain and requires immediate treatment.
• Injury or Trauma: A cracked or fractured tooth may result in pain and sensitivity, especially when biting or chewing.
• Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can lead to pain around the teeth and may also indicate infection or gum recession.
• Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Chronic teeth grinding can wear down tooth enamel, leading to pain and sensitivity.

Regardless of the cause, tooth pain is often a sign that something isn’t right, and delaying treatment can result in more serious problems.

That’s why we encourage you to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible if you’re experiencing a persistent toothache.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit

We will begin with a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to assess the condition of your tooth and surrounding tissue. Once we understand the cause, we’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment, which may include:

• Filling a Cavity: If tooth decay is the cause of your pain, we can restore the tooth with a filling or crown to eliminate the discomfort.
• Root Canal Treatment: For infections or deep decay affecting the tooth’s nerve, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth and prevent further damage.
• Extraction: In cases where the tooth cannot be saved, we may recommend extraction to relieve the pain and prevent further complications.
• Treatment for Gum Disease: If your toothache is related to gum disease, we’ll address the infection and create a plan to restore your gum health.
