Emergency Wisdom Tooth Pain Relief Dentist

One of the dental issues for which you must see an emergency dentist is severe toothache or tooth pain. Whether the tooth is painful and swollen or you have a tooth abscess, immediate care is necessary. At Thousand Smiles, we take pride in our ability to provide urgent dental care, including same-day appointments. If you contact our friendly team promptly, we can arrange emergency dental care for you on the same day.

When your body experiences pain, it indicates that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Oral pain can be difficult to tolerate, making sleeping, chewing, or speaking uncomfortable. If you notice toothache, it is important to schedule an appointment with your Thousand Smiles dentist as soon as possible. If the pain is mild or intermittent, over-the-counter painkillers can provide temporary relief until you see a dentist.

However, if you are experiencing severe pain, swelling in the affected area, or the pain becomes unbearable despite pain relief measures, you require emergency dental treatment.

Causes of Emergency Tooth Pain

A likely cause of tooth pain is decay. However, tooth trauma and lost restorations (crowns, fillings) can also cause toothache. The slightest crack or chip via which bacteria enter your tooth can be problematic and cause toothache. Also, when there is an inflammation of the tooth pulp (tissue carrying blood vessels and delicate nerves), pain can occur. Receding gums is another cause of tooth pain.

There are other reasons a tooth can undergo pain that doesn’t affect the pulp:

  • Gum ulcers
  • Damaged wisdom teeth
  • Inflammation of the sinus
  • Wisdom teeth eruption
  • An injured temporomandibular joint

Treatment for Wisdom Tooth Pain

There are various reasons behind a toothache. At Thousand Smiles, our dentist will first diagnose the cause of your toothache, using an X-ray if necessary.

For tooth decay, our specialists will remove the decayed part and fill the tooth.

If you have broken, damaged, or lost fillings or crowns, they will be removed, any existing decay will be eliminated, and a new restoration will be placed.

In the case of an abscess caused by an infection that leads to toothache, our dentist will administer a local anaesthetic and drain the pus. In severe cases of infection, treatment with antibiotics may be necessary. Typically, an infected tooth will require a root canal procedure to eliminate the infection completely.

We perform root canal treatment at our clinic under local anaesthesia. Our dentists will remove the pulp, fill the space with a special paste, and cover the remaining part of the tooth with a crown to seal and protect it. A root canal procedure typically requires a minimum of two appointments.
