In some patients, toothaches might only present themselves when pressure is applied to the tooth.
Toothaches are characterized by either a sharp or dull pain in or around the tooth. Most emergency toothache situations are due to a root canal infection, which are easily treated with root canal therapy. The longer you wait to treat the hurting tooth, the more likely we might need to extract it. We will be able to assess the tooth, relieve your pain, and make a treatment plan to help save the tooth. In order to know the course of treatment for your toothache, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our dentist.
