A severe toothache is one of the most painful dental emergencies you can experience. Whether caused by infection, decay, nerve damage, or trauma, unbearable tooth pain requires immediate professional attention. Emergency Dental Services of Washington in Lakewood provides same-day toothache relief seven days a week.
At Emergency Dental Services of Washington in Lakewood, we understand that tooth pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life. Our emergency dentists will quickly diagnose the cause of your toothache using advanced diagnostic tools including digital X-rays and perform the necessary treatment to get you out of pain. Common causes of severe toothaches include deep cavities that have reached the tooth’s nerve, dental abscesses (infected tooth), cracked or fractured teeth, exposed tooth roots from gum recession, damaged or lost fillings exposing the nerve, and impacted teeth putting pressure on surrounding structures.
When you visit our Lakewood office with a toothache emergency, we’ll first examine the affected tooth and surrounding area. We’ll take X-rays to see what’s happening below the gum line and determine the best treatment approach. Depending on the cause, treatment may include filling a cavity, performing a root canal to remove infected pulp, draining an abscess, extracting a tooth that can’t be saved, or placing a crown to protect a damaged tooth. We’ll provide immediate pain relief and prescribe antibiotics if infection is present. Our goal is to eliminate your pain and save your natural tooth whenever possible.
Warning signs that require emergency dental care include throbbing or sharp pain that doesn’t go away, pain that wakes you up at night, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swelling in your face or gums, fever accompanying tooth pain, foul taste or discharge from around a tooth, and difficulty chewing or opening your mouth. Never ignore severe tooth pain—what starts as a minor ache can quickly become a serious infection that spreads to other parts of your body. Our Lakewood emergency dental office is open 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day, including weekends and holidays, so you can get relief when you need it most.
