What is Toothache or Dental Emergency?
Toothache/Dental Emergency refers to pain or discomfort in or around a tooth, often indicating an underlying dental issue. The pain may range from mild sensitivity to persistent or severe discomfort. Toothache should not be ignored, as it can be a sign of infection, decay, or other oral health problems that require professional attention.
Common Causes of toothache
Toothache can develop due to several dental conditions, including tooth decay, infection of the dental pulp, gum inflammation, cracked teeth, or impacted wisdom teeth. In some cases, pain may also arise from dental trauma or sensitivity caused by enamel wear.
A proper dental examination is essential to identify the exact cause and determine appropriate treatment.
When Does Toothache Need Immediate Dental Care?
Toothache requires urgent dental evaluation if the pain is persistent, worsening, or associated with swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or difficulty in chewing. Delaying treatment may allow the condition to progress and increase discomfort or complications.
Early consultation helps address the issue at the right stage and may reduce the need for extensive procedures later.
Toothache Treatment Options
Treatment for toothache depends on the underlying cause identified during examination. Based on clinical findings, one or more of the following approaches of dental treatments may be recommended:
Root canal treatment when the dental pulp is infected
Wisdom tooth extraction in cases of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth
Dental fillings or restorations for cavities or minor damage
Appropriate treatment planning ensures pain relief while protecting long-term oral health.
