A toothache could be an inflammation of the dental pulp, the inner layer of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels.

Toothache can have many causes, so it is always best to see a dentist for a professional evaluation. A tooth should never cause pain or ache. If a tooth is causing pain or discomfort, something is wrong and should be looked at as soon as possible.

Several conditions can cause a toothache that could be unrelated to the tooth itself. These conditions can be simple or complex and often require a dentist’s expertise to diagnose. Examples are sinus pain, gum infection or inflammation.

Our dentists are very proficient in helping patients who require emergency dental care that includes:

Early intervention for a painful tooth leads to less treatment, lower cost, and less pain in the long run. Give us a call so we can look at your tooth and provide a straightforward solution. Early treatment of a painful tooth is often preferable.

The proper treatment depends entirely on making the correct diagnosis. At Summerhills Dental, we always do a complete examination. To pinpoint the issue, Summerhills Dental uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools like digital intraoral cameras, intraoral scanners, X-rays, OPG, etc.

Depending on the complexity, a good cleaning may solve the toothache, or sometimes root canal treatment or extraction may require to treat the toothache.

Dental trauma is a risk for anyone. Sporting injuries are one of the main reasons for dental emergencies and are most common in children.

Sports-related dental trauma typically affects the front teeth. A blow to the jaw could damage the back teeth as well. Wearing a mouthguard can usually prevent these kinds of dental injuries. We see a lot of front tooth injuries from sports where mouthguards are not typically used, such as skateboarding and surfing. Children are more vulnerable to dental trauma because they are more likely to fall or receive a blow to the teeth when playing.
