Toothache
Are you experiencing constant, aching pain and struggling to manage it? An infection in a tooth can be extremely painful, and if left untreated it can cause severe systemic health problems. Do not delay in contacting our clinic. We understand a genuine emergency and accommodate patients as best we can. We are open weekdays, but if you need us on a weekend your call will be diverted so we can assist you.
Our Frequently Asked Questions
If the toothache lasts 1-2 days with severe pain, fever, and earache symptoms, you should visit one of our dentists immediately.
If you cannot find any dentists immediately, you may take a painkiller to reduce the toothache. However, this will only help for so long. Eventually, the toothache will build and be so severe that pain relief will no longer help. You must book an appointment as soon as possible to get the toothache fixed.
Toothache can be due to cavities or a dying nerve. The pain sometimes comes and goes, which indicates nerve damage. If the tooth is treated early, it is possible the nerve issue can be reversed; however, if left too long, then the nerve will die, and pain will become more consistent and get worse. It is very likely that the pain will continue until the tooth is treated.
If it’s urgent and you’re experiencing severe pain, you may go to your nearest emergency room for emergency treatment. If the pain is bearable, we’re open as early as 8 in the morning. We recommend you call the practice and leave a voicemail so that our team can call you as soon as we open in the morning.
