Is your toothache being caused by nerve damage? The truth is, all toothaches should be treated as serious issues. If you feel pain in a tooth, or notice an irregularity, then something is wrong that needs to be corrected.
Toothaches can have complications. If you take an over-the-counter pain reliever and your toothache persists after 24 hours, you should contact your dentist. You should also contact us if the pain continues after a tooth extraction or other treatment.
Contact your dentist if you notice a discharge around a tooth, or an abscess. On occasion, the joints in your jaw may also be feel painful. If you have high fevers or unexplained chills or a rash, you should make an appointment to see us as soon as possible.
To learn more about treating your toothache, contact Carolyn L. Yu, DDS at 510.974.2147. Come visit Dr. Carolyn Yu and the team at our office in Pinole, California by booking an appointment at your earliest convenience. We look forward to having you as our guest soon!
