What Causes Toothaches?

Toothaches don’t just “happen.” They’re usually a sign of an underlying dental problem. The most common causes include:

  • Tooth decay (cavities)

  • Gum infection or gingivitis

  • Cracked or broken tooth

  • Dental abscess (a pocket of infection)

  • Impacted wisdom teeth

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • Loose fillings or crowns

Understanding the source of the pain is key to effective treatment. At Carpe Diem Dental Spa, we use advanced diagnostics like digital X-rays and iTero scanning to identify the exact cause.

Symptoms That Indicate It’s an Emergency

Not every toothache requires emergency care — but many do. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call us immediately:

  • Severe or throbbing pain that lasts more than 24 hours

  • Swelling in the face or gums

  • Sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure

  • Bad taste in the mouth or pus

  • Pain when chewing or touching the tooth

  • Fever or headache with tooth pain

These signs may indicate a serious infection or damage that requires urgent care to prevent complications like tooth loss or systemic infection.

What to Do Until You See a Dentist

Here are some things you can do to relieve pain while waiting for your emergency appointment:

  • Rinse your mouth with warm salt water

  • Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek

  • Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (never place aspirin on the gums!)

  • Avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks

  • Keep your head elevated to reduce pressure

But remember — these are temporary solutions. You still need a dentist to treat the root cause.

Toothache Pain Scale: When Should You Call?

If you're experiencing mild and occasional tooth discomfort (pain levels 1–3), you can usually monitor it at home, practicing good dental hygiene and observing for any worsening symptoms. For pain levels 4–6, characterized by aching that impacts eating or sleeping, you should call our office soon to schedule an appointment. If your tooth pain is severe, throbbing, sharp, or constant (levels 7–10), this is considered an emergency—call us immediately for same-day care.

If your pain level is 6 or higher, don’t wait. We offer same-day emergency appointments.

FAQs: Toothache Relief Near Cleveland

What is the fastest way to stop tooth pain?

Use over-the-counter pain relievers, rinse with salt water, and apply a cold compress — then call us for same-day care.

Can a toothache be life-threatening?

Yes. Infections from an abscessed tooth can spread to the bloodstream and become dangerous. Always treat dental pain seriously.

Should I go to the ER for a toothache?

ERs typically offer pain relief but can’t treat the dental issue. Call our emergency dentist in Solon instead.

Yes — call first to ensure we have immediate availability.

What if I don’t have dental insurance?

We accept patients without insurance and offer payment plans. Your health comes first.
