A mild toothache might seem manageable at first but when the pain becomes severe, constant, or throbbing, it’s a sign your tooth may be in serious trouble. Severe tooth pain is one of the body’s strongest signals that something is wrong and requires immediate dental care.
We provide same-day emergency appointments for patients suffering from intense pain or suspected infection.
Warning Signs of a Serious Dental Problem
You should seek urgent dental attention if you experience:
- Sharp, persistent, or radiating pain
- Swelling in your gums, jaw, or face
- A visible cavity or hole in the tooth
- Pain that worsens when lying down
- Fever or foul-tasting discharge (a sign of infection)
These symptoms may indicate an abscessed tooth or advanced decay that needs immediate treatment.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Severe pain often means the infection has reached the tooth’s nerve or surrounding bone. Delaying treatment can lead to further infection or tooth loss. Early intervention allows your dentist to relieve your pain and save the tooth whenever possible.
At Navasota Dental, we use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the cause and offer solutions ranging from root canal therapy to safe extractions, depending on the severity.
