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.

What is the fastest way to stop tooth pain?

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.
