Tackling Toothaches and Tooth Pain In Melbourne
Experiencing a toothache can disrupt your day with unexpected pain and discomfort. At Dental & Skin Clinic, our cosmetic dentists understand that pinpointing the cause of your toothache is crucial for providing effective treatment and relief. Once we identify the root of the problem, we can quickly begin to alleviate your pain and get you back to your routine.
What Causes Toothaches?
A toothache is a pain in or around a tooth that may be caused by a number of dental problems. These can range from tooth decay, a damaged filling, a tooth fracture, infected gums or an abscessed tooth. Sometimes, toothaches can be a sign of diseases of the heart and ears, or sinus infections.
Discovering the underlying cause will help us identify the problem area and treat it accordingly.
Abscesses
Dental abscesses are painful collections of pus at the end of the teeth or in the gums. Abscesses occur when bacteria invade a small space in the body (such as a cracked tooth), causing an infection.
Inflammation
If you have any signs of inflammation, such as swelling around your jawbone or pain while chewing on food or beverages, please contact us immediately so we can schedule an appointment for evaluation by one of our specialists.
Tooth decay or damaged filling
Sometimes our teeth can decay without us even realising. Our fillings can also deteriorate over time and need attention. Pain can be the first sign that something is wrong. By identifying the tooth in question, our skilled dentists can determine the best course of action, whether that’s a tooth extraction or gum disease treatment.
Infection
If you have pain that doesn’t go away when you brush or floss your teeth it could be a sign of an infection. If left untreated this could lead to bone loss, which requires treatment from an oral surgeon.
