Toothaches
Toothaches can be caused by infections from either bacterial, fungal, or virus; cavities; abscesses; broken teeth; or gum disease. It is important you contact us immediately for safe toothache treatments. Our qualified specialist diagnoses the cause of a toothache by examining the patient verbally, making a visual examination of the tooth and its supporting tissues, and using an X-ray or pulp tester. Then provides patients with treatment options.
- Cavities: These are one of the most common causes of toothaches. Cavities result from tooth decay and can cause sharp or throbbing pain.
- Abscesses: An abscessed tooth is a severe condition where infection leads to pus buildup, causing intense pain, swelling, and fever.
- Gum Disease: Infections and inflammation of the gums can lead to tooth pain and bleeding, often indicating a need for immediate care.
- Broken or Cracked Teeth: Physical damage to teeth can expose nerves and cause significant pain, necessitating prompt treatment.
- Sinus Infections: Sometimes, sinus infections can cause referred pain to the teeth, which can be confusing and require professional assessment.
