Our goal is to alleviate your discomfort and treat the underlying cause of your tooth pain swiftly and efficiently.

Tooth pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Tooth Decay: Cavities can penetrate the tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity and pain.
• Gum Disease: Inflammation and infection of the gums can cause significant discomfort and pain.
• Tooth Abscess: An untreated cavity or injury can lead to a severe infection, resulting in intense pain.
• Tooth Fracture: A cracked or broken tooth can expose the inner layers of the tooth, causing pain.
• Bruxism: Grinding or clenching your teeth can wear down enamel and lead to tooth pain.
• Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth don't have enough space to emerge properly, they can cause pain and swelling.
• Sinus Infection: Sinus pressure can sometimes be felt as tooth pain, especially in the upper teeth.

While it's crucial to see a dentist for a thorough evaluation, here are some quick solutions to alleviate tooth pain temporarily:

• Rinse with Warm Salt Water: A salt water rinse can help reduce inflammation and cleanse the affected area.
• Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can provide temporary relief.
• Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to the outside of your cheek can help reduce swelling and numb the pain.
• Clove Oil: Applying a small amount of clove oil to the affected area can provide temporary relief due to its numbing properties.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the side of your mouth where the pain is located.
