Toothache in Macleod

The common reason for toothaches is dental decay or caries that is left untreated. Other reasons include broken tooth, leaking old fillings, infected gums, abscess and grinding of teeth which could lead to cracks that develop on teeth. Sometimes the pain can be quite uncomfortable and could affect your daily routine and sleep. If you have signs of sensitivity or toothache it may be wise consulting your dentist to find if there are any underlying issues like tooth decay or gum infection.

Constant throbbing pain, disturbed sleep due to toothache, pain while having cold or hot drinks/food, swelling of gums and bad or unpleasant taste or fever are common symptoms associated with toothache. If you have any of the mentioned signs, emergency treatment may be necessary, please seek a consultation with your dentist who could determine the cause of pain and provide treatment.

You could take anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen, rinse with warm salt water or a mouth wash until you can see your dentist. We would also recommend brushing and flossing daily and having regular visits to your dentist for your 6 monthly checkup visits.

A severe toothache will require an emergency dental visit. Your emergency dentist at The Dental Retreat could help address the cause of your toothache and get you pain-free as soon as possible.
