Oh, My Aching Tooth! Where to Seek Relief

October 10, 2019

Life is full of surprises, and occasionally not always for the better. That is why if you experience unexpected dental pain, sustain an injury to the mouth or jaws, or if you break a dental appliance, having the name of a reliable and skilled dentist on hand is important.

At Montclair South Dental, we offer a wide range of services for all types of dental emergencies and are well equipped to address your needs. Providing skilled and compassionate care, we’ll alleviate the pain, stress, and general confusion of your dental emergency, and put you back on the road to oral health.

Perhaps the most common reason patients seek emergency treatment is because of a toothache. The pain experienced by a toothache can be either odontogenic pain, which stems from the nervous tissue within the tooth itself, or non-odontogenic pain, which arises from the surrounding face, jaw, or head. When you schedule an emergency appointment us for a toothache, you can rest assured that we will precisely determine the underlying source of your discomfort and develop the most appropriate course of action to restore your oral health and function. Left untreated, a toothache can get worse and lead to further damage to the tooth, as well as possibly even compromise the long-term prognosis for the tooth and the surrounding tissues. It can even affect your overall well-being!  

If a dental emergency should arise, do not hesitate to call us at Montclair South Dental for an urgent appointment. We will prioritize your condition and give you the timely treatment you deserve. Your care and comfort are top priorities with us. From the moment you walk into our office, we’ll do our best to put your mind at ease by taking the time to address your every concern and answer your questions about all your options in care. For more information, give us a call today.
