Get Relief from Toothaches with Expert Care at With U Dental
There’s nothing like a toothache to turn a good day into a bad one. That throbbing, persistent pain can make it hard to focus on anything else.
But toothaches are more than just a nuisance—they’re often a sign that something’s not right with your oral health.
At With U Dental, we’re here to help you find the cause of your toothache and provide the relief you need, quickly and effectively.
Common Causes of Toothaches
Toothaches can be triggered by several factors, and identifying the cause is the first step to relief:
- Tooth Decay: Cavities are a common culprit. When bacteria erode your tooth’s enamel, they can reach the sensitive inner layers, causing pain.
- Gum Disease: Infections in the gums can cause discomfort and pain around the teeth, especially if the disease has advanced.
- Tooth Abscess: An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, which can lead to severe pain and requires prompt treatment.
- Fractured or Cracked Tooth: A crack in your tooth can expose the nerve, leading to sharp, intense pain, especially when biting or chewing.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Teeth that are sensitive to hot or cold foods might be warning you of underlying issues like worn enamel or receding gums.
- Dental Procedures: Recent dental work, like fillings or crowns, can sometimes cause temporary discomfort as your mouth adjusts.
When Should I See a Dentist?
Not every toothache requires an immediate trip to the dentist, but there are certain situations where you should seek professional help:
- Persistent Pain: If your toothache lasts more than a day or two, it’s time to see a dentist. Persistent pain often signals a more serious issue.
- Severe Pain: Intense, sharp pain that doesn’t subside needs prompt attention. It could be a sign of a serious problem, like an abscess or cracked tooth.
- Gum Problems: Swollen, bleeding, or receding gums can contribute to bad breath and are signs of gum disease, which requires professional treatment.
- Swelling: Any swelling in your face or mouth, particularly if it’s accompanied by pain, should be evaluated by a dentist immediately.
- Fever: A toothache accompanied by a fever could indicate an infection that needs urgent treatment.
- Ear or Jaw Pain: If your toothache spreads to your ear or jaw, it’s a sign that the infection or problem is spreading and requires dental intervention.
Treatment Options
- Fillings: If a cavity is causing your pain, we’ll remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill it with a durable material to restore its function.
- Root Canal Treatment: For more severe decay or infection, a root canal may be necessary to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth.
- Tooth Extraction: In cases where the tooth is too damaged to be saved, extraction might be the best option. We’ll discuss replacement options like implants or bridges to restore your smile.
- Gum Treatment: If gum disease is causing your pain, we offer a range of treatments to restore your gum health and alleviate discomfort.
- Crowns: For teeth that are cracked or have large cavities, a crown can provide the protection needed to restore the tooth’s function.
- Antibiotics: If your toothache is due to an infection, we may prescribe antibiotics to eliminate the infection and prevent it from spreading.
