Fast Relief for Toothaches and Dental Pain
A toothache can develop suddenly and quickly become unbearable, making it difficult to eat, sleep, or concentrate. While some toothaches are caused by minor irritation, others may be a sign of tooth decay, infection, a cracked tooth, or another underlying dental problem that requires prompt treatment.
At Freemans Bay Dental, we provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible to diagnose the cause of your toothache, relieve your pain, and restore your oral health with prompt, compassionate care.
Common causes of toothache include:
- Inflammation of the pulp (nerve inside the tooth) , usually in response to tooth decay, dental trauma, or other factors.
- A Cracked Tooth or broken composite filling: A cracked tooth or broken filling can cause sharp sensitivity or Toothache due to stimulus of underlying dentin or nerve. It may not be a well-localized pain.
- Dentin hypersensitivity.
- Inflammation of the structure around the root apex (periodontal ligament).
- Dental abscess (localized collections of pus).
- Dry socket- a possible complication of tooth extraction.
- Wisdom Tooth infection – this often happens when a wisdom tooth has broken the skin, but doesn't have enough room to fully come through.
- Teeth grinding resulting in Temporomandibular disorder or TMD which can further cause sensitive/sore teeth & jaw.

Treatment may range from simple advice, removal of dental decay with a dental drill and subsequent placement of a composite filling , to root canal treatment, tooth extraction, or debridement, drainage of pus, or other remedial action.
