Do You Need Toothache Treatment?
An occasional twinge isn't always urgent, but certain signs mean it's time to get checked out. Warning signs include pain that's constant, sharp, or throbbing, sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets that lingers, pain when you bite down or chew, swelling around the tooth or gum, or pain that's keeping you up at night. Left untreated, the cause of a toothache typically gets worse and more painful over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a toothache go away on its own?
Sometimes, if it's caused by something minor like trapped food or temporary sensitivity. But pain from decay, a crack, or infection usually returns or worsens. 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 near the nerve, or infection at the tooth's root. Gum inflammation or a bite that's slightly off can also cause it. Because several causes feel similar, 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 needs the source treated, and antibiotics alone won't cure it. Your dentist will explain your options after an exam.
What should I expect at an emergency toothache appointment?
We'll ask about your symptoms, examine the tooth and surrounding gums, and take X-rays to find the cause. We'll then explain what we found and your treatment options, and where possible we'll start relieving your pain the same visit. You'll know the plan and the cost before any treatment begins.
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 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.
