FIND THE CAUSE OF TOOTH DISCOMFORT
Toothaches and Sensitive Teeth in Toronto
Why Does My
Tooth Hurt?
Toothaches and sensitivity can develop for many reasons, including cavities, cracks, worn tooth surfaces, exposed roots, damaged restorations, gum problems, or inflammation and infection inside a tooth. You may notice discomfort when biting or sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods and drinks.
At Beach Dental in Toronto, your dentist can examine the affected tooth and surrounding tissues to identify the source of your symptoms. Persistent, worsening, or unexplained tooth pain should be assessed rather than simply managed at home.
Treatment Depends on
the Cause
There is no single treatment for every toothache or sensitive tooth. Once the cause has been identified, your dentist can recommend appropriate care based on the condition of the tooth.
- Dental Fillings: Treat cavities that are contributing to sensitivity or discomfort.
- Dental Crowns: Protect selected damaged or weakened teeth.
- Root Canal Therapy: Treat infected or damaged dental pulp when appropriate.
- Dental Emergency Care: Assess severe or sudden tooth pain that requires prompt attention.
