Tooth pain is never something to brush off. If your tooth is aching, throbbing, or sensitive, it’s a sign that something needs attention. With Toothache Day on February 9, February is the perfect time to remember how important it is to seek dental care right away. At Providence Dentistry, we urge patients not to wait when tooth pain appears.
Why You Should Act Quickly
Even mild tooth pain can signal an underlying problem. Small issues like early decay or minor cracks can quickly turn into serious infections or damage if left untreated. The sooner you see a dentist, the more comfortable and straightforward your treatment is likely to be — and the better your chances of saving your tooth.
Treatments That Can Relieve Tooth Pain
Providence Dentistry offers several restorative solutions to address the cause of tooth pain and restore your oral health, including:
- Fillings to treat cavities and stop decay
- Crowns to protect teeth that are cracked, broken, or weakened
- Root canals to remove infection inside the tooth and relieve pain
- Tooth removal when a tooth cannot be saved
We understand that dental pain often requires immediate attention. Our team will do everything possible to see emergency patients the same day they call, whenever availability allows.
Tips to Manage Tooth Pain Until You’re Seen
While waiting for your appointment, these steps may help reduce discomfort:
- Rinse with warm salt water to soothe irritated tissues.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help with swelling.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.
- Avoid chewing on the painful side and limit hot, cold, or sugary foods.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, don’t wait for it to get worse. In recognition of Toothache Day this February, take action early. Contact Providence Dentistry at 704-246-5346 as soon as possible so we can relieve your pain and protect your smile. For non-emergencies, you can also schedule online.
