Treatment When Your Tooth Can’t Wait
Seen the Day You Call
A severe toothache seldom improves by itself. We make same-day visits a priority so you don’t have to sit with the pain.
If It Hurts After Dark
Tooth pain doesn’t watch the clock. If you need to come after 5pm, say so when you call and we’ll try to fit you in.
Weekend Toothaches
A toothache that begins on Saturday shouldn’t have to last until Monday, so we keep weekend appointments available.
What You Gain by Acting Quickly
1
Treatment, Not Just Masking
Over-the-counter medicine can dull a toothache for a while, but only treatment deals with what’s causing it.
2
A Smaller Problem to Fix
A small cavity is much easier and cheaper to repair than the infection or abscess it can become if you leave it alone.
3
A Better Chance of Saving the Tooth
Delay can turn a tooth that a filling would have saved into one that needs a root canal or extraction.
4
Easier Eating and Better Sleep
Toothaches make chewing hard and nights restless. Treatment lets you get back to your usual routine.

FAQs About Toothache Treatment
Why does my tooth hurt when I bite, and is it always a cavity?
Pain on biting often signals a cracked tooth, a loose or failing filling, or decay that has reached the inner tooth. A cavity is a common cause but not the only one. Gum recession and a cracked tooth can also bring on a toothache, so an exam is the only way to know for sure.
Why is the pain worse when I lie down?
Lying flat sends more blood to your head, which can raise the pressure inside an inflamed or infected tooth. It’s a common pattern and usually means the tooth needs attention soon.
Can a toothache go away by itself?
The pain can fade for a while, particularly if the nerve inside the tooth dies. That doesn’t mean the problem is solved. The infection is usually still there and tends to return, often worse than before.
What can I do while I wait for my appointment?
Ibuprofen may help with pain in the short term, and a cold compress against your cheek can reduce swelling. Try not to chew on the sore side, and call us so we can schedule you as soon as possible.
How much will treatment cost?
It depends on the cause. A filling usually costs less than a root canal or an extraction. We offer a guaranteed payment plan so cost doesn’t get in the way of treatment.
