Emergencies

Common causes of dental pain

Dental pain can arise from various issues, including:

• Teething discomfort in children.
• Wisdom tooth pain from eruption or infection.
• Gum infections – Gingivitis or periodontitis.
• Mouth ulcers.
• Tooth infections – Mild to severe.
• Dental abscesses  – Serious infections requiring urgent care.
• Broken or chipped teeth.
• Cracked teeth – Causing sharp pain when chewing.
• Tooth sensitivity – Root exposure or enamel wear.
• TMJ disorders – Jaw pain and discomfort.
• Sinus infections – Can mimic tooth pain.
• Dental trauma – From accidents or injuries.

Post-treatment dental pain

Some discomfort after dental procedures is normal, but severe or prolonged pain may indicate a complication, such as:

• Dry socket – Following a tooth extraction.
• Dental abscess – After a filling or other treatment.
• Ill-fitting dentures – Causing sore spots or discomfort.
• Teeth whitening sensitivity – Temporary but sometimes intense.

The key to fast, effective relief is getting the right diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
