What is your emergency? Toothache
Toothache refers to pain in and around the teeth, gums or the jaws.
There are many causes for toothaches, we recommend seeing the dentist as soon as possible when you are experiencing symptoms.
Toothache can occur in the teeth and around the jaws, and is caused by a number of different dental issues. Usually, the pain begins suddenly, and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain. It can come and go, but it can also be constant, and made worse by eating or drinking. Additionally, toothache may get progressively worse as time goes on, so it is essential to see a dentist as soon as you can.
The treatment for a toothache may involve a somewhat invasive dental procedure such as a dental filling, root canal, dental bridge, dental crown or ultimately, a tooth extraction. But treatment today can be comfortable, and in fact, often helps you avoid tooth extraction. In addition, today’s cosmetic dentistry options, like dental veneers and dental implants, offer alternatives to traditional treatment, and provide a greater esthetic and functional benefit.
If you have had mild toothache for 1 to 2 weeks, be sure to book an appointment as soon as possible to prevent the problem getting worse.
