Introduction
Tooth pain may appear suddenly or build up gradually, but in both cases it is a signal that something in the mouth should be assessed. The cause is not always the same, and pain can come from the tooth, the gums or the surrounding tissues.
What can cause tooth pain
Tooth pain may be related to decay, inflammation, enamel sensitivity, a crack in the tooth or gum problems.
A dentist can determine the exact cause after an examination and diagnostics.
What to avoid before the visit
Do not apply aggressive home remedies directly to the tooth or gums.
If the pain is getting worse, especially with swelling or fever, it is better not to delay a professional visit.
When symptoms suggest more urgency
If pain becomes stronger, keeps you awake, comes with swelling or reacts sharply to hot and cold, the situation may need prompt attention.
What to do
Monitor what triggers the pain, avoid chewing on the affected side and book a consultation if the discomfort does not settle quickly.
If the pain is severe or accompanied by swelling, contact the clinic sooner rather than later.
When to see a dentist
You should not postpone a visit if:
• the pain gets stronger
• the tooth reacts to temperature
• the pain wakes you at night
• there is swelling, trauma or fever
