Pain in your body is often a sign that something is wrong. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort from a toothache, either consistent pain or when biting down, chances are that this is a signal from your body telling you that there might be a more serious problem requiring professional dental help. For emergency dentistry in Toronto, Ontario, call Parkwoods Dental Office.
Warning Signs
A toothache can consist of sharp or throbbing pain around the gums, teeth, or jaw. Tooth pain is never fun for anyone, but worse than the pain (if you can believe it!) is the risk of further damage to the teeth or gums if a toothache is left untreated.
A toothache is typically a sign of tooth decay, such as a cavity, or gum disease. Neither of these problems will go away on their own, meaning they will only get worse over time without professional help. If left untreated, this infection can lead to an abscess. This can lead to loss of the tooth and further damage to your gums. If you have a toothache, it is important to seek emergency dentistry, so that a dentist can fix the problem, reduce your pain and risk of infection, and ultimately save your tooth!
