When Is Tooth Pain

An Emergency?

If you're unsure, call us. We'll help you decide.

If you have facial swelling, fever, or trouble swallowing/breathing, seek urgent medical care.

 

Not all dental pain feels the same, but any ongoing or worsening pain should be evaluated. You should seek care right away if you’re experiencing:

  • Persistent or severe tooth pain

  • Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw

  • A cracked, broken, or knocked-out tooth

  • Pain when biting or chewing

  • Signs of infection (pressure, throbbing, bad taste, fever)

  • Dental trauma from an accident or injury
     

If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s always better to call and ask.

What Might Be Causing Your Tooth Pain?

Tooth pain can have many causes — some simple, some more complex. The key is identifying it early.

Common Symptoms Patients Describe:

Pain doesn’t always mean the problem is severe — but waiting can allow small issues to become more complex. The sooner we evaluate it, the simpler the solution usually is.
