Often caused by tooth decay, a cavity, or a crack in the tooth. The pain may occur when biting or eating something sweet.
Painkillers might provide short-term relief, but they can’t fix the root cause. Ignoring this pain can lead to infection or further damage.
A filling for cavities or dental bonding for cracks. If the decay has progressed, a root canal may be necessary.
Modern techniques make treatments painless. Our experienced specialists will walk you through every step to ensure you feel at ease.
This is often a sign of an infection or an abscess. You may notice swelling, tenderness, or even a bad taste in your mouth.
Painkillers might dull the discomfort, but only a dentist can treat the infection. Untreated abscesses can spread to other parts of the body.
Draining the abscess, antibiotics to fight infection, and potentially a root canal to save the tooth.

When They Work: Painkillers can help with mild pain or after a dental procedure.

If pain is linked to a cavity or more widespread decay, decayed tissue will be removed from the tooth and then the tooth will be filled to prevent the spread of infection and reduce the risk of damage.
If a tooth is chipped, it is often possible to restore it using a technique known as composite bonding. This involves placing a small amount of dental composite, a tooth-coloured material, to the tooth to reshape and strengthen it. If the tooth is cracked, the best option may be to fit a new crown. Crowns are also known as caps, as they are placed over the top of the existing tooth structure.
If the tooth is infected, and the infection has reached the pulp tissue, the living part of the tooth, antibiotics may be recommended. It may also be advisable to carry out root canal treatment, which involves removing decayed pulp tissue from the root canals and then cleaning and sealing the tooth. A new crown may also be placed.
Sometimes, dental pain comes and goes without causing too many problems, but we strongly recommend getting in touch with us in the following cases:
