When Is a Toothache an Emergency?

Severe, persistent, or throbbing tooth pain may indicate infection or deep decay. Pain accompanied by swelling or fever needs prompt assessment.

Important: If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care immediately.

How we can help

Toothache Symptoms and Related Dental Problems

Persistent or Throbbing Toothache

A strong toothache may require treatment beyond temporary pain relief. An examination helps determine why the tooth hurts.

Toothache After a Chipped Tooth

A broken or cracked tooth can expose sensitive areas, causing sharp pain when biting or drinking. Prompt evaluation can help protect the tooth.

Pain After a Tooth Is Knocked Out

A knocked-out permanent tooth is a time-sensitive emergency. Call immediately and bring the tooth kept moist in milk or saliva.

Toothache Caused by an Abscess

Throbbing pain, swelling, fever, or an unpleasant taste can be signs of dental infection. A dentist should assess these symptoms.

Toothache From a Lost Filling or Crown

An exposed tooth can become sensitive or painful after a restoration comes loose. Evaluation can identify options for repairing it.
