About Toothache

Emergency treatment for toothache

You may be able to cope with mild toothache with over-the-counter painkillers while you wait for a dental appointment, but a bad toothache can become agonising without prompt treatment.

If the pain you’re feeling from toothache is excruciating, it’s likely to be a serious underlying issue that’s causing it. This is when emergency dentistry is crucial to:

  • Provide pain relief.
  • Diagnose the problem.
  • Provide at least a temporary solution.
Crucial role of fillings

When toothache becomes an emergency

You may need emergency dental treatment for toothache if you have:

  • A tooth with a deep cavity. Cavities – small holes on a tooth surface – are caused by decay. Without treatment, this decay can penetrate into the central part of the tooth – the pulp chamber – and result in infection and persistent toothache
  • A broken tooth. A tooth that’s broken or cracked needs emergency treatment if the damage results in profuse bleeding and/or intense pain
  • A severe tooth infection. Pain from a dental abscess or other tooth infection often results in severe toothache that requires emergency dental care
  • Acute pain from a broken filling (or a filling that’s fallen out)

Signs that your toothache needs emergency treatment

Symptoms that your toothache needs emergency dental care include:

  • Swollen jaw: swelling around the jaw and neck may mean an oral infection is starting to spread to other parts of your body such as vital organs. This can lead to a potentially life-threatening situation.
 
  • Worsening pain: toothache that gets increasingly worse can indicate a serious oral issue like a dental abscess.
 
  • Pain from pressure: if a tooth hurts when you touch it or bite down on something, it might be a sign of significant decay.
 
  • Bleeding gums: blood coming from inflamed, swollen gums could mean you have periodontal disease.
 
  • Bad taste in the mouth: a persistent strange taste or odour in the mouth might be a sign of tooth infection.
How emergency dentists treat toothache

Some helpful tips in case of dental emergency

The type of emergency treatment you get for your toothache will depend on the issue that caused it.

Your emergency dentist will determine the problem with a full examination, and X-rays if necessary.

Treatment options generally entail:

  • A temporary or permanent filling.
  • Root canal treatment
  • Tooth extraction
  • Gum disease treatment
  • Prescription pain relief and antibiotics
