What Causes a Toothache?
A toothache is your body's way of telling you something is wrong - and ignoring it almost always makes things worse. At Tooth Bar, we provide fast, thorough toothache diagnosis and treatment to stop your pain and address the underlying cause before it escalates.
Toothaches can be caused by a wide range of issues including deep cavities, cracked teeth, infections, gum disease, or even sinus pressure. The key is accurate diagnosis, because the right treatment depends entirely on what's causing the pain. Our Calgary team uses digital imaging and careful clinical examination to identify the source quickly and recommend the most effective solution.
Who Needs Toothache Treatment?
You should seek toothache treatment if you're experiencing sharp, throbbing, or constant pain in or around a tooth, pain that worsens when eating, drinking hot or cold liquids, or biting down, swelling near the affected tooth or in your jaw, a bad taste in your mouth or persistent bad breath alongside tooth pain, or pain that has lasted more than a day or two and isn't improving.
Even mild toothaches that come and go deserve attention. Intermittent pain can indicate a developing problem that's easier and less expensive to treat now than later.
Benefits of Prompt Toothache Care
The most immediate benefit of professional toothache care is obvious: you stop hurting. But beyond pain relief, prompt treatment prevents the progression of whatever's causing the pain. A cavity caught early needs a filling; left untreated, it can progress to an infection requiring root canal therapy or extraction.
Professional diagnosis also gives you clarity. Tooth pain can be confusing - sometimes the tooth that hurts isn't actually the one with the problem. Our diagnostic tools pinpoint the exact source so treatment is targeted and effective, not guesswork.
How We Treat Toothaches
When you come to Tooth Bar with a toothache, we start by listening. When did the pain start? What makes it better or worse? Is it constant or intermittent? These details help narrow down the cause.
Next, we perform a clinical examination and take digital X-rays to visualize what's happening beneath the surface. Common findings include decay that has reached the nerve, a crack or fracture in the tooth, an abscess or infection at the root, or gum disease affecting the tooth's support.
Once we identify the cause, we explain your options clearly and begin treatment. This might be a filling, a crown, root canal therapy, or in some cases, extraction. Our priority is always to save the tooth when possible and to get you comfortable as quickly as we can.
If the situation requires follow-up treatment, we'll manage your pain in the interim and schedule the next steps before you leave.
Toothache Relief FAQs
Should I go to the ER for a toothache?
Emergency rooms can provide pain medication but typically can't perform dental treatment. A dental office is the best place for definitive care. Call us for a same-day appointment.
What can I do for tooth pain at home before my appointment?
Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, and avoid very hot or cold foods. These measures manage symptoms but won't fix the cause.
Is a toothache always a sign of a cavity?
No. Toothaches can be caused by cavities, cracks, infections, gum disease, grinding, or even sinus issues. Accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment.
Can a toothache go away on its own?
Sometimes pain subsides temporarily, but this usually means the nerve has been damaged, not that the problem resolved. The underlying issue will almost certainly get worse without treatment.
How much does toothache treatment cost?
Cost depends on the cause and treatment needed. A filling is less expensive than a root canal, which is less expensive than an extraction with replacement. We'll explain costs before starting treatment.
