Why You Should Not Ignore Tooth Pain
Tooth pain can be a sign of an underlying dental problem such as decay, infection, a cracked tooth, a damaged filling, or irritation or damage inside the tooth.
In some cases, bacteria can reach the inner portion of a tooth and cause infection. Swelling around the gums, jaw, or face may also indicate that the problem needs prompt attention.
Waiting can allow the condition to worsen and may make treatment more involved. Depending on the cause, treatment could include a filling, dental crown, root canal treatment, extraction, or another restorative procedure.
If your pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling, call our office for guidance.

Chipped or Broken Tooth
A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth should be evaluated even if it is not currently painful. Damage can become worse over time, particularly when pressure is placed on the tooth while biting or chewing.
Depending on the location and severity of the damage, treatment may include a dental filling, dental crown, root canal treatment, or another restorative solution.

Throbbing Tooth Pain or Dental Infection
Constant or throbbing tooth pain may be a sign of inflammation or infection inside the tooth. Swelling in the gums, face, or jaw can also indicate a dental infection and should be taken seriously.
Depending on the condition of the tooth, treatment may include root canal treatment, a dental crown, extraction, or another appropriate procedure.

Emergency Dentist FAQ
What is emergency dental care?
Emergency dental care is prompt treatment for dental problems that need timely attention, such as severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, infection, or dental injury.
The goal is to diagnose the problem, address discomfort, and reduce the risk of the condition becoming more serious.
When should I call an emergency dentist?
You should call an emergency dentist if you have severe or persistent tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth, pain when biting, signs of infection, or another dental problem that needs prompt attention.
If you are unsure whether the problem is urgent, call our office and describe your symptoms.
Can a broken tooth be repaired?
Many broken teeth can be repaired, but treatment depends on the location and severity of the damage.
Treatment may involve a filling, dental crown, root canal treatment, or another restorative option. An examination and X-ray can help determine the appropriate treatment.
What should I do if my face or jaw is swollen?
Swelling may be a sign of dental infection and should be evaluated promptly.
Call our office so we can help determine the next step. If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Will I need a root canal for a toothache?
Not every toothache requires root canal treatment. The appropriate treatment depends on what is causing the pain.
If the tissue inside the tooth is infected or severely damaged, root canal treatment may be recommended to treat the tooth.
