What is a toothache?<\/h2>\n
A toothache is often characterised by unexpected pain in the mouth. This pain may feel like throbbing, stabbing or a persistent ache that gradually intensifies. Consuming cold or hot foods can also cause sensitivity. Toothache can occur in two ways: acute or chronic. It can come on suddenly and intensely, or start gradually and then worsen. If you suspect an infection, it is advisable to contact a dentist immediately.<\/p>\n

I have worked at this practice for 20 years. I was always afraid to go to the dentist as a child, but the dentist’s patience and explanations helped me to overcome that fear. I now live in Hoek van Holland, and I have no intention of looking for a new dentist. I would recommend this practice to anyone.! — Lisette Roosenburg<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Treating a toothache<\/h2>\n
Dental pain should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible. The treatment you receive will depend on the underlying cause. To determine this, the dentist will usually take an X-ray of your teeth. They will then draw up a personalised treatment plan to relieve your toothache as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
The following are common treatments for toothache or dental pain:<\/p>\n
Toothache or dental pain caused by caries\/cavities<\/h3>\n
If your toothache is caused by a cavity, the dentist will clean and fill the tooth. If this is no longer possible, however, the tooth will need to be extracted. To fill the resulting space, a crown or implant<\/a> can be placed.<\/p>\n
A toothache or dental pain can be caused by gum inflammation.<\/h3>\n
If you have gum inflammation, the dentist will remove any plaque or tartar. If the plaque or tartar is located deep beneath the gums, the dentist will perform flap surgery to remove it.<\/p>\n
Toothache or dental pain caused by inflammation of the root canal<\/h3>\n
If you have inflamed roots, the dentist will need to perform a root canal treatment. This involves removing the nerve that is causing the pain in order to treat the inflammation and eliminate the toothache. You can read more about root canal treatment at Tandzorg Kralingen.<\/p>\n
A toothache or dental pain can be caused by wisdom teeth<\/h3>\n
Crookedly growing wisdom teeth can cause toothache. A dentist or oral surgeon can remove these teeth to remedy the pain.<\/p>\n
