Common Questions About Toothaches
When is a toothache an emergency?
Severe or worsening pain, pain with fever or facial swelling, or a toothache that keeps your child up at night should be seen the same day. When in doubt, call and we'll help you decide.
The pain went away on its own. Are we okay?
Not necessarily. Pain that stops can mean the nerve is dying while a problem continues quietly. It's worth having the tooth checked.
What can I give my child for the pain?
An age-appropriate dose of children's pain reliever is fine. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gums, as it can burn the tissue.
Toothache won't quit?
