Tooth Pain Relief
Tooth pain can be uncomfortable and disruptive, often signaling an underlying dental issue that needs attention. At Mission Dental, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment to relieve your pain and restore your oral health. Whether your discomfort is mild or severe, our team is here to help.
What Causes Tooth Pain?
Tooth pain can result from various dental concerns, including:
Cavities (Tooth Decay) – Bacteria eat away at the enamel, causing sensitivity and pain.
Gum Disease – Infected or inflamed gums can lead to discomfort and sensitivity.
Tooth Infection (Abscess) – A severe infection inside the tooth can cause intense pain and swelling.
Cracked or Broken Tooth – Damage to the enamel can expose the sensitive inner layers.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Excessive grinding can wear down enamel and cause soreness.
Sinus Pressure – Sometimes, sinus infections can cause pain that feels like a toothache.
Treatment Options for Tooth Pain
Depending on the cause, we may recommend:
Fillings or Crowns – To restore damaged or decayed teeth.
Gum Disease Treatment – Deep cleaning and therapy to restore gum health.
Root Canal Therapy – If an infection reaches the tooth’s pulp, a root canal can save the tooth.
Tooth Extraction – If the damage is severe, removal may be necessary.
Nightguards for Bruxism – To protect teeth from grinding damage.
What to Do If You Have Tooth Pain
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area.
Floss gently to remove any food particles causing irritation.
Take over-the-counter pain relievers (if needed).
Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
