URGENT DENTAL PAIN RELIEF
Toothache / Tooth Pain
Tooth pain can make it hard to think straight. Whether it zings with cold or aches all day, we'll help you calm it down and find the cause.
We'll walk you through how to tell if it's an emergency and what to do today.
Why this happens
Sharp, throbbing, or pressure pain — often from decay, a crack, or nerve inflammation.
How we understand it
We start with a focused exam and 3D imaging or X-rays if needed to see cracks, deep cavities, or infection clearly.
What relief looks like
Depending on the cause, relief often comes from a precise filling, a protective crown, or a root canal when the nerve is involved.
