Key Aspects of Mental Health & Wellness
Toothache refers to pain or sensitivity in or around a tooth, often caused by issues such as decay, infection, gum disease, or injury. It can affect how comfortably you eat, speak, sleep, and carry on with daily activities. Understanding the source of the discomfort helps you manage symptoms effectively and decide when professional care is needed.
Pain & sensitivity
The intensity and type of discomfort, whether sharp, throbbing, or temperature-related, can indicate the underlying issue.
Oral Health
Issues such as cavities, cracked teeth, or inflamed gums commonly trigger toothache and may worsen without treatment.
Everyday Impact
Persistent pain can interfere with eating, sleeping, concentration, and overall quality of life.
Coping & Relief
Using home remedies safely, practising good oral hygiene, and seeking timely dental advice can help you manage.
Toothache is a significant aspect of oral health
Pain in or around a tooth can interfere with how you eat, speak, sleep, and go about your day. It may stem from decay, infection, injury, or gum problems, and can vary from a mild ache to severe, persistent discomfort. Giving attention to dental pain early, seeking appropriate care, and making supportive lifestyle choices can prevent complications and help maintain long-term oral well-being.
You may need professional care if the pain persists, becomes severe, causes swelling, or is accompanied by fever or sensitivity to hot or cold.
We provide examinations, X-rays, fillings, root canal treatments, gum care, emergency appointments, pain management guidance, and preventative dental support.
Typical causes include cavities, cracked teeth, infections, gum disease, impacted teeth, and sensitivity related to enamel wear.
Temporary relief may come from rinsing with warm salt water, using over-the-counter pain relief, applying a cold compress, and maintaining gentle oral hygiene—though these do not replace professional assessment.
