Tooth pain that disrupts your day
Lingering pain after hot or cold drinks, spontaneous throbbing, pain on chewing or an ache that wakes you can signal decay, nerve inflammation or a crack. Pain can travel towards the ear or jaw, so the tooth you suspect may not be the source.
Do not rely on pain relief alone
Persistent or worsening toothache deserves an examination even without visible swelling. Delaying assessment may allow decay or infection to progress. A pharmacist can advise on pain relief suitable for your medical history; do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Find the cause before choosing treatment
We examine the painful area, check how the tooth responds and take an X-ray if needed. Depending on the findings, same-day care may include a temporary filling, the first stage of root canal treatment or another clinically suitable intervention. If removal is necessary, we explain why and quote the extraction at your consultation.
