Toothache Treatment

A toothache is your body telling you something needs attention. Call us — we’ll help you get out of pain and figure out what’s causing it.

While you’re on your way

Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can ease swelling and pain. An ice pack on the affected side helps too. Over-the-counter analgesics like Orajel can numb the area temporarily.

What might be going on

Toothaches can come from a deep cavity, a cracked tooth, an infection in the pulp, gum disease, or even a sinus issue that’s referring pain to your upper teeth. Figuring out which one matters — an X-ray and a careful exam point us to the right treatment.

Don’t wait it out

Many toothaches get worse if they’re ignored, and infections can spread. If you’re unsure whether it’s urgent, give us a call — we’d rather hear from you than have you tough it out at home.
