What Can Cause Emergency Tooth Pain?
Tooth pain may result from decay, a cracked tooth, infection, or an exposed area after a filling comes out. A dental examination can identify the underlying issue.
Important: If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding, seek emergency medical care immediately.
How we can help
Common Causes of Severe Tooth Pain
Tooth Pain From a Crack or Fracture
A chipped or broken tooth can hurt when chewing or when exposed to temperature changes. A dentist can evaluate the damage.
Pain From a Knocked-Out Tooth
A permanent tooth that has been knocked out needs immediate help. Call right away and preserve the tooth in milk or saliva.
Tooth Pain With Swelling or Infection
Tooth pain accompanied by swelling, fever, or a bad taste may signal an abscess. These symptoms should be promptly evaluated.
Pain After Losing a Crown or Filling
When a restoration falls out, the remaining tooth may be exposed and sensitive. Repair options depend on the condition of the tooth.
