If you’ve gently bumped your tooth and there is no injury, the mild pain may go away on its own. However, most toothaches, including those that start suddenly or worsen throughout the day, typically do not go away without intervention from your dentist.
At Katoomba Dental Centre, we consider toothaches dental emergencies. Anytime you have pain or swelling, we encourage you to contact our dental clinic to arrange a visit with our emergency dentist.
Your Emergency Dentist in Katoomba
We set aside time to see patients with dental emergencies, including toothaches. A toothache may indicate a root canal infection, deep tooth decay, or injury. You should seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent tooth loss, worsening pain or the spread of infection and decay.
To lower your risks for toothache-related dental emergencies, visit your dentist regularly for checks and cleans, brush and floss at least twice daily and report concerns to your dentist promptly.
To avoid injuries to your teeth, always wear your mouthguard during athletics.
