Toothache

If you have a toothache, you may experience:

• Sharp or dull pain that can be constant or intermittent
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
• Pain when chewing or biting
• Swelling or tenderness around the affected tooth
• Fever or bad taste if infection is present

If you notice any of these symptoms, book an appointment promptly. Early treatment prevents worsening infection and pain.

 Toothaches can result from various dental issues, including:

• Dental infection or abscess
• Tooth decay or cavities
• Gum disease
• Cracked or damaged teeth
• Failing or leaking fillings or crowns
• Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or referred pain from jaw, ears, sinuses, or muscles

Our dentists will perform a thorough examination to diagnose the cause of your tooth pain. Treatment may include:

• Filling or repairing cavities or damaged teeth
• Root canal therapy for infected pulp
• Gum disease treatment
• Managing TMJ disorders or referring to a specialist if needed
• Antibiotics and drainage if an abscess is present

Our goal is to relieve your pain and restore your oral health with personalised, comfortable care.

To reduce your risk of toothache, our Mount Waverley dentists recommend:

• Maintaining good oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing
