How we treat tooth pain

Fillings

If decay is causing your pain, we can remove the damaged area and restore the tooth with a natural-looking filling.

Root Canal Therapy

When an infection reaches the tooth pulp, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth and eliminate pain.

Tooth Extraction

In cases of severe infection or damage beyond repair, a gentle tooth extraction may be the best option.

Why quick treatment matters

  • Prevent the pain from getting worse
  • Stop the spread of infection
  • Save your natural tooth whenever possible
  • Improve your comfort and daily function
  • Avoid complications or costly procedures later

Common questions about toothache

When should I see a dentist in Leland for tooth pain?

K
L

Any persistent or severe tooth pain is reason enough to schedule an appointment. If pain is accompanied by swelling, fever, or sensitivity to temperature, seek care right away.

Can a toothache go away on its own?

K
L

Mild pain may subside temporarily, but it usually returns and may worsen. It’s important to treat the underlying cause before it becomes a bigger issue.

Is a root canal painful?

K
L

Root canals have a reputation for being painful, but with modern techniques, they are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. They actually relieve pain rather than cause it.

What can I do to manage pain before my appointment?

K
L

Over-the-counter pain relievers, cold compresses, and avoiding very hot, cold, or sugary foods can help until you can be seen.
