Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sudden tooth pain?

Common causes include cavities, infections, cracked teeth, gum disease, or lodged food debris. A quick exam helps determine the exact source so we can treat it.

When should I see a dentist for tooth pain?

If pain lasts longer than 24 hours, keeps you from eating, interrupts sleep, or comes with swelling or fever, contact us immediately. These can be signs of infection.

Can tooth pain go away on its own?

Tooth pain usually does not resolve without treatment. Even if the discomfort fades, the underlying problem can worsen, leading to more serious issues.

What if my tooth pain is severe?

Severe or throbbing pain often indicates infection or nerve involvement. We offer same-day emergency appointments to provide prompt relief and prevent complications.
