Dental Pain Isn't Just Uncomfortable — It’s a Sign Something Needs Attention Now
Our Emergency Pain Relief Solutions
Toothache Diagnosis & Treatment
We use clinical exams and digital x-rays to pinpoint the source. Depending on the case, treatment may include:
Emergency root canal therapy to save an infected tooth
Immediate extraction for severely damaged or non-restorable teeth
Placement of a temporary filling to protect exposed nerves
Prescription antibiotics and anti-inflammatories when infection is present
Swelling & Infection Control
Swelling of the face, jaw, or gums is often a sign of spreading infection. We act quickly to:
Drain abscesses when appropriate
Prescribe antibiotics to prevent systemic infection
Alleviate pressure and inflammation through localized treatment
Determine if surgical or root therapy is needed
Pain from Trauma or Broken Teeth
Whether from a fall, accident, or sports injury, sudden dental trauma requires fast care. We:
Re-implant or stabilize knocked-out teeth when possible
Repair cracked or broken teeth with bonding, crowns, or temporary restorations
Smooth sharp edges to prevent cuts or further damage
Address underlying nerve exposure with medicated treatments
Soft Tissue Injuries & Post-Op Complications
Pain may also come from cuts, burns, or complications after dental work. We provide relief through:
Wound cleaning and medication
Suture or dressing application when needed
Bite adjustment if occlusion is causing pain or instability
What It Means
Understanding Dental Pain
Dental pain can stem from multiple causes — each with its own risks and treatment path. Understanding the type of pain you’re experiencing helps us determine the best course of action:
Throbbing pain or sensitivity to heat?
May indicate an infected or abscessed tooth that requires a root canal or extraction.
Sharp, stabbing pain when biting?
Could signal a cracked tooth or loose filling.
Persistent ache or pressure?
Might point to grinding, TMJ dysfunction, or an impacted tooth.
Gum pain or swelling?
Often a sign of periodontal infection or abscess formation.
Pain with facial swelling or fever?
Can be a dental emergency requiring antibiotics and immediate drainage or intervention.
Our job is to relieve your pain today, then build a plan to prevent it from returning tomorrow.
