Toothache ranges from a dull persistent ache to sharp excruciating pain that makes it impossible to eat, sleep or concentrate. Whatever the severity, tooth pain is always a signal that something needs attention — and the longer it's left, the more complex and costly treatment can become.
Bacteria have broken through the enamel and reached the inner dentine or pulp, causing sensitivity and pain that worsens over time.
A bacterial infection at the root tip causing throbbing pain, swelling and sometimes fever. Requires urgent treatment.
A crack in the tooth can expose the nerve to temperature and pressure, causing sharp pain when biting.
Advanced gum disease can cause deep aching around multiple teeth and sensitivity to pressure.
Partially erupted wisdom teeth cause pain, swelling and difficulty opening the mouth.
Nighttime grinding wears enamel and inflames the jaw joint, causing widespread dental sensitivity.
Your dentist will carry out a thorough examination including X-rays to identify the exact cause of your pain. Treatment at the same appointment may include a temporary or permanent filling, root canal access to relieve nerve pressure, antibiotic prescription for infection, or extraction where the tooth cannot be saved.
Prices confirmed at appointment. Written cost breakdown provided before any treatment begins.
