Persistent or severe tooth pain can be caused by decay, infection, a damaged tooth, or inflammation inside the tooth. We can evaluate the source of your pain and discuss appropriate treatment.
A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth should be evaluated even when it isn’t causing significant pain. Prompt treatment may help protect the remaining tooth structure and prevent further damage.
Dental infections can cause pain, swelling, sensitivity, a bad taste in the mouth, or tenderness around a tooth or gum. Dental infections should not be ignored. Contact our office promptly if you suspect an abscess or infection.
A lost filling or crown can expose the underlying tooth and cause sensitivity or discomfort. We can evaluate the tooth and determine whether the restoration can be replaced or whether another treatment is necessary.
Dental injuries require prompt attention. If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, contact a dentist immediately because timing can affect whether the tooth can be successfully treated.
Significant gum swelling or pain can sometimes indicate an infection or another dental condition requiring professional evaluation.
Problems involving dentures, bridges, crowns, veneers, or other restorations can interfere with eating and speaking. Contact us so we can determine the appropriate repair or treatment.
Severe tooth pain doesn’t automatically mean that a tooth needs to be removed. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or severely inflamed, root canal treatment may sometimes allow the natural tooth to be preserved.
Our dentist will examine the tooth and determine whether root canal treatment or another treatment option is appropriate.
Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to be predictably restored. When appropriate, an extraction may be recommended after an examination and diagnosis.
Our goal is to evaluate the tooth and discuss your treatment options before deciding whether extraction is necessary.
For a toothache: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water and keep the area clean.
For swelling: Contact a dental professional promptly. Facial swelling accompanied by difficulty breathing or swallowing requires immediate emergency medical attention.
For a knocked-out permanent tooth: Handle it by the crown rather than the root. If possible, gently rinse it without scrubbing it and seek immediate professional care.
For a broken tooth: Save any pieces you can find and contact the dental office.
For a lost crown: Keep the crown and bring it with you to your appointment.

Yes. A severe toothache should be evaluated to determine its cause. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment could involve a filling, root canal treatment, extraction, or another appropriate procedure.
Many broken or damaged teeth can be restored, depending on how much healthy tooth structure remains and the extent of the damage. Treatment might include bonding, a filling, crown, root canal treatment, or another restoration.
Many tooth-related emergencies can be evaluated by a dentist. However, call 911 or seek emergency medical care for potentially life-threatening conditions, including difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, severe facial trauma, or other serious medical symptoms.
Contact a dentist as soon as possible when you experience significant pain, swelling, infection, trauma, or a damaged tooth. Certain emergencies, particularly a knocked-out permanent tooth, are especially time-sensitive.
Don’t ignore persistent dental pain, swelling, infection, or a damaged tooth.
