Tooth pain is your body's warning signal that something is wrong. While some toothaches are minor sensitivity issues, many are caused by deeper problems that require professional treatment. Proper diagnosis is essential — at Best Dental, we use digital X-rays and a comprehensive exam to determine the exact cause before recommending any treatment.
Signs You Need Immediate Treatment
Don't wait to see if the pain goes away on its own — these symptoms indicate a problem that will worsen without care.
Throbbing or Constant Pain
Persistent pain that doesn't improve may indicate nerve infection requiring root canal therapy.
Hot & Cold Sensitivity
Lingering sensitivity that remains after the temperature stimulus is removed often signals nerve involvement.
Facial or Gum Swelling
Visible swelling around the jaw or gums may indicate an abscess or spreading infection requiring urgent care.
Fever or Bad Taste
Fever alongside tooth pain, or a persistent foul taste in your mouth, are classic signs of bacterial infection.
Toothache Treatment Options
The right treatment depends on the cause. Dr. Naderi always diagnoses first, then recommends only what you actually need.
Dental Fillings
If decay is caught before it reaches the pulp, a tooth-colored filling removes the cavity, stops the pain, and restores the tooth in a single visit.
Root Canal Therapy
When infection has reached the pulp, a root canal removes the infected nerve, eliminates pain, and saves the tooth from extraction.
Tooth Extraction
If the tooth cannot be saved, gentle extraction removes the infection source and relieves pain. Tooth replacement options are discussed at the same visit.
Antibiotics
For spreading infections accompanied by fever or swelling, antibiotics may be prescribed alongside definitive dental treatment to control the bacteria.
Night Guards
If grinding (bruxism) is causing tooth pain, a custom-fitted night guard protects your teeth from further damage and relieves the pressure causing pain.
What to Expect During Your Visit
From the moment you call to the moment you leave, we're focused on one thing — getting you out of pain fast.
Comprehensive Exam & X-Rays
We quickly and accurately identify the source of your pain using digital X-rays and a thorough clinical exam. Understanding the exact cause is the first step to lasting relief — not just masking the symptoms.
Immediate Pain Relief
Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your complete comfort before any treatment begins. If you're anxious about dental visits, sedation options are available to help you relax throughout the appointment.
Same-Day Definitive Treatment
Whenever possible, we perform the appropriate procedure the same day — whether that's a filling, root canal, extraction, or abscess drainage. You leave with the problem treated, not just temporarily managed.
When Is a Toothache a Dental Emergency?
Not all toothaches are emergencies, but many are. The key signs that your toothache requires immediate same-day care are swelling in the face, jaw, or neck — fever alongside tooth pain — difficulty swallowing or breathing — pain from recent trauma or injury — or pain that has persisted for more than 48 hours without improvement.
Delaying treatment for a dental infection allows it to spread. What starts as a toothache can progress to a dental abscess, bone infection, or in serious cases, a systemic infection requiring hospitalization. When in doubt, call us — we'd rather reassure you over the phone than have you wait too long.
"Untreated caries in permanent teeth was the most prevalent condition worldwide, affecting 2.4 billion people… Policy makers need to be aware of a predictable increasing burden of untreated caries due to population growth and longevity."
— Kassebaum NJ, Bernabé E, Dahiya M, Bhandari B, Murray CJL, Marcenes W. Global Burden of Untreated Caries: A Systematic Review and Metaregression. University of Washington & King's College London. Journal of Dental Research, 2015;94(5):650–658. View study on PubMed →
This landmark Global Burden of Disease analysis — drawing on data from 378 studies across 141 countries — confirmed that untreated tooth decay is the single most common disease on earth, affecting nearly one in three people. In the United States alone, CDC data shows that nearly 2 million emergency department visits per year are attributed to tooth disorders, with adults aged 25–34 accounting for the largest share of visits (Schappert & Santo, NCHS Data Brief No. 531, 2025). These aren't just statistics — they represent real people in severe pain who could have avoided an emergency with timely dental care. That's exactly why Dr. Jasmine Naderi treats every toothache as an opportunity to diagnose and resolve the underlying problem before it becomes a crisis.
⚠️ Call 911 or Go to the ER If You Experience:
Difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, high fever with confusion, or any signs that the infection may be affecting your airway. These symptoms require emergency medical care beyond what a dental office can provide.
