TOOTHACHE TREATMENT OPTIONS

Our Services

The right treatment depends on what is causing the pain. We offer all of the following in one office.

01
Dental Fillings

When a cavity is causing the pain, a filling stops the decay and seals the tooth. We use tooth-colored fillings that match your natural tooth and restore full function in a single visit.

02
Root Canal Therapy

When decay or a crack reaches the inner part of the tooth, infection sets in. A root canal removes the damaged tissue, clears the infection, and saves the tooth. Most patients feel significant relief the same day.

03
Tooth Extraction

When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, removal is the right call. We extract it carefully and can talk through replacement options at the same visit so you have a clear plan going forward.

04
Gum Disease Treatment

When the pain is coming from inflamed or infected gums, we treat the source directly. Early treatment stops gum disease from spreading to the surrounding teeth and bone.

05
Infected Tooth Removal

 A tooth infection can spread quickly and become a serious health problem. We remove the infected tooth and address the infection before it goes further. Treat an Infected Tooth

06
Broken or Damaged Tooth Removal

A tooth that is cracked or severely damaged beyond repair needs to be removed to protect the teeth around it. We assess the damage and remove it cleanly. Remove a Broken Tooth

Toothache Treatment

How It Works

The cost of treating a toothache depends on what is causing it and what type of treatment is needed. We go over all of this before any work begins.

Step 1:
Dental Fillings

Fillings are among the most affordable treatments we offer. Catching a cavity early keeps the cost low and the treatment simple.

Step 2:
Root Canal Therapy

Root canals cost more than fillings but far less than losing the tooth and replacing it later. Saving the natural tooth is almost always the better long-term investment.

Step 3:
Tooth Extraction

Extraction is typically the least expensive immediate option, but replacing the tooth afterward adds to the overall cost. We walk you through your replacement options at the same visit.

Step 4:
Gum Disease Treatment

Cost varies based on how advanced the gum disease is. Early-stage treatment is simple and affordable. More advanced cases take longer and cost more.

HOW TO RELIEVE TOOTH PAIN AT HOME

What to Do While You Wait to See Us

Home remedies will not fix the problem, but they can make you more comfortable while you wait for your appointment.
Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water. This helps reduce bacteria and can ease some of the inflammation around the tooth.
Apply a cold pack to the outside of your cheek in 10 minute intervals. This reduces swelling and numbs some of the pain. Do not put ice directly on the tooth.
Avoid chewing on the side where the pain is coming from. Stick to soft foods and avoid anything very hot, cold, sweet, or hard until you are seen.
Over the counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help manage discomfort. Follow the dosage instructions on the label and do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Keep your head elevated when resting. Lying flat can increase blood pressure in the area and make the pain feel worse.
These steps are temporary. They do not treat the underlying problem. Call us as soon as possible for a same-day appointment.

Common Questions

What is the fastest way to stop a toothache?

Rinsing with warm salt water, applying a cold pack to your cheek, and taking an over the counter pain reliever can help temporarily. These steps ease discomfort but do not fix the problem. Call us for a same-day appointment to treat the actual cause.

When should I see a dentist for tooth pain?

If the pain is severe, has lasted more than a day or two, or is accompanied by swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth, call us right away. Those are signs of infection that need professional treatment immediately.

What will an emergency dentist do for a toothache?

We start by taking digital X-rays to find the source of the pain. Then we numb the area and treat the cause, whether that is a filling, root canal, or extraction. We walk you through everything before we begin so you know exactly what to expect.

How much does toothache treatment cost in Nashville?

Cost depends on what is causing the pain. A filling costs far less than a root canal. We give you a clear estimate before any treatment starts. Most insurance plans cover at least part of the cost and financing is available.

Can a toothache go away on its own?

Sometimes the pain fades, but the problem does not. Decay and infection do not heal without treatment. A tooth that stops hurting may mean the nerve has died, which is actually a sign the situation has gotten more serious, not better.

Is tooth pain always a dental emergency?

Not always. Mild sensitivity to temperature may not need same-day care. But severe pain, swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing are emergencies. When in doubt, call us and describe your symptoms. We will tell you how quickly you need to come in.

How long can you leave a toothache untreated?

The longer you wait, the worse it gets. A cavity that needs a filling today may need a root canal next month and an extraction the month after that. Treating it early is always simpler, less painful, and less expensive.
