Nobody wants to get a toothache, they can affect your ability to eat, speak and sleep and sometimes it can be hard to tell which tooth it is even coming from. A toothache can be a sign of serious infection in the teeth, gums or jawbone, or it may be from a small problem such as food impaction in the gum or dentine sensitivity. Your dentist will take a history of the pain and will likely take an x-ray or 2 to help diagnose the problem. A list of options for treatment, including the cost of each option will be given to you and you can decide which option will suit you best. We do our best to provide at much treatment at the time of appointment but you may require another appointment if the treatment is a root canal.
