Toothache Treatment: How to Deal With It?
Understanding Toothache
You definitely do not need a definition for toothache, but you must understand it.
If you have pain around your teeth, there might be several causes contributing to it. It can be as simple as something stuck between two of your teeth or an infection. While it is easy to detect the cause in your incisors and canines, toothaches in and around the molars often pose a challenge.
So, if you are experiencing pain in your mouth, book an appointment with us today, and let us offer you tooth pain relief.

When To See A Dentist for Toothache?
So, consult a dentist for toothache based on the circumstances. However, never overlook toothache. It can be a sign of a potential dental issue.
Toothache Treatment
Multiple treatment options are available to soothe tooth pain, which are prescribed after an initial dental examination.
During your first visit to Peace of Mind Dental Studio, we will examine your oral health and prescribe you the following treatment options:
Dental Fillings
An X-ray is required in cases of decay or cavities, based on which we will determine what you need. The decayed tooth will be removed, disinfected, and filled with a dental filling.
Root Canal
When a tooth’s pulp is infected, a root canal is needed. In this procedure, the infected pulp is removed, disinfected, filled with gutta-percha, and closed with a dental sealant.
Antibiotics
When a slight injury is the culprit behind a toothache, antibiotics can help soothe it.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are needed when there is significant damage to your teeth causing the pain. These are porcelain or metal crowns that mimic your natural teeth.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the last option. We try to save your teeth with crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, and other means, but when it is impossible, tooth extraction is inevitable. You can consider dental implants after tooth extraction.
