Urgent Wisdom Tooth Pain
Wisdom tooth pain rarely improves on its own. Intense pain, swelling, or signs of infection at the back of the mouth usually mean the tooth is impacted or the surrounding gum has become infected. Call us rather than waiting it out, and we will get you assessed and out of pain.

Severe, Throbbing Tooth Pain
Deep, persistent, throbbing pain can be a sign that infection has reached the nerve inside the tooth. Left alone it tends to worsen and can spread. In these cases root canal treatment often relieves the pain and gives the best chance of saving the tooth, so the sooner we see you the more of the tooth we can usually preserve.
