Severe toothache? Urgent dental care

Severe toothache can make it impossible to work, eat, and sleep. At Mabel Clinic, we do our best to see patients in pain as quickly as possible: we diagnose the cause, provide effective anaesthesia, and bring relief during the very first visit.

Toothache at Mabel Clinic

Where does toothache come from and when to seek urgent help

The most common causes are deep decay, pulpitis, an abscess, a cracked tooth, or inflammation of the gum around an erupting wisdom tooth. Do not delay your visit if the pain is throbbing, worsens at night, does not subside after painkillers, or is accompanied by facial swelling or a fever. Such symptoms require urgent intervention from a dentist.

What does an emergency dental visit at Mabel Clinic look like?

We begin the visit with a short interview and examination, usually supplemented by an X-ray, to precisely locate the source of the pain. After effective anaesthesia, we perform the necessary procedures: opening and preparing the tooth, draining an abscess or securing a cavity. You leave the surgery with relief and a concrete plan to complete the treatment, not just a prescription.

What you can do before your visit

Until your visit, you can take an over-the-counter painkiller in accordance with the leaflet and avoid hot, cold, and sweet foods. Do not apply heat to the painful area, as heat worsens inflammation, and do not place tablets directly onto the gum. Remember that medication masks symptoms but does not eliminate the cause of the pain.
