Toothache Treatment in Southside Place, Houston, TX
Toothache Keeping You Up? Let’s Settle It Today
Is This Toothache Serious?
A brief twinge now and then isn’t always cause for concern. These signs, though, suggest it’s time to see a dentist: pain that is steady, stabbing, or pounding, sensitivity to heat, cold, or sugar that hangs around, a sharp jolt when you bite or chew, puffiness near the tooth or gums, or pain that disrupts your sleep. Most toothache causes grow worse and more painful the longer they go unchecked.
Our Southside Place dentists can pinpoint what’s wrong and get you comfortable quickly. Your $89 exam is a simple place to begin.
What’s Behind a Toothache
Several different problems can produce the same kind of pain. These come up most often:
- A cavity or advancing decay
- An infected tooth or abscess
- A tooth that’s cracked or broken
- A filling or crown that has fallen out or been damaged
- Irritated or diseased gums
- Food stuck between teeth
- A wisdom tooth working its way in
- Grinding or clenching, especially while you sleep

Toothache Treatment FAQs
Will a toothache go away on its own?
Sometimes, if it’s caused by something minor like trapped food or temporary sensitivity. Pain from decay, a crack, or infection usually returns or gets worse. If a severe toothache suddenly stops hurting, don’t assume it healed. It can mean the nerve has died while the infection remains. If a toothache lasts more than a day or two, have it examined.
Why does my tooth hurt when I bite down?
Pain when biting often points to a cracked tooth, a loose or damaged filling or crown, decay close to the nerve, or infection at the root. Gum inflammation or a bite that’s slightly off can also cause it. Since several causes feel alike, a dentist needs to examine the tooth and take an X-ray to find the source.
What are the treatment options for a toothache?
Treatment depends on the cause. A cavity may need a filling, and a cracked or heavily damaged tooth may need a crown. If the nerve is infected, a root canal can save the tooth, and a tooth that can’t be saved may need to be extracted. An abscess requires treating the source, since antibiotics alone won’t cure it. Your dentist will go over your options after an exam.
What happens at an emergency toothache visit?
We’ll ask about your symptoms, examine the tooth and surrounding gums, and take X-rays to find the cause. Then we’ll explain what we found and what your treatment options are, and where possible we’ll begin easing your pain during the same visit. You’ll know the plan and the cost before any treatment starts.
How much does toothache treatment cost, and do I need insurance?
The cost depends on the cause. A filling costs less than a root canal or an extraction, so the exam is what determines the price. New patients can start with our $89 emergency exam, which includes X-rays. We accept insurance plans and offer payment options, so you can get care without waiting.
