Toothache Specialist
A toothache is never a pleasant experience. Often, it can be an indication of an underlying dental problem. While you may think a toothache is just a mild inconvenience - and sometimes it can be - it can mean something serious like an infection or decay. It’s important to monitor any toothaches you experience and consult a toothache specialist, like those at Greater Endodontics, if the toothache persists.
Schedule a consultation with Greater Endodontics, your leading provider of Utah endodontics services, and we can help you with your toothache and determine the cause behind it. We’re specialists in saving teeth, and our toothache specialists can treat your tooth and send you home with a healthy, pain-free smile.
How Serious Are Toothaches
Toothaches, at any pain level, should be carefully monitored and taken seriously. It’s possible you may have an idea of what is causing your toothache, or perhaps it just came out of nowhere. Whatever the case may be, until the cause of your toothache is determined and explored, your toothache will only get worse with time.
Infected or damaged teeth that are left untreated can lead to serious medical issues. If inner tooth decay goes untreated, nerves and tissues can be destroyed, resulting in complete tooth loss. Don’t waste time searching for a toothache specialist in Utah - give Greater Endodontics a call at the first sign of tooth pain.
Toothache Signs To Watch Out For
Toothaches vary from extreme, stabbing pains to a constant, dull ache. Take note of the type of pain you are experiencing and the area affected in order to describe it to a professional.
If your toothaches are accompanied by any of the following symptoms, be sure to call an endodontist or toothache specialist immediately:
- Fever
- Gum Inflammation
- Discharge from the Infected Area
- Pain in Teeth, Neck, Jaw or Upon Opening and Closing Mouth
- Toothache that does not Subside After a Full Day
Different Kinds Of Toothaches And Pains
Toothaches vary in severity. Some may experience a dull throb while others experience sharp jabbing pains. Different pains can indicate different underlying dental problems.
- Dull, Achy Throb - An achy jaw may be a sign of bruxism, or teeth grinding.
- Sharp Pain when Biting - Sharp pain can indicate a variety of things, from a cavity or loose filling to a cracked tooth or decaying pulp.
- Hot and Cold Sensitivity - This is usually not a serious problem and can be addressed with toothpaste designed to protect sensitive teeth. However, if it is a recurring problem, it could be a sign of a cavity or decaying enamel.
- Severe Pressure and Swelling of Gums - Indicates a severe infection of a tooth that may have spread to the surrounding bone and should be addressed immediately.

What Happens If My Toothache Is Part of A Larger Issue?
If you are experiencing a toothache that is severe, it’s worth contacting a toothache specialist. There are specialists and endodontists at Greater Endodontics that can intervene and remedy your toothache. A severe toothache may mean the tooth's soft inner tissue is damaged or infected as a result of deep decay or trauma.
A toothache specialist will perform endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy, which can relieve the pain and save the tooth by removing the pulp and cleaning, filling and sealing the canals. The tooth is then restored with a crown or other restoration. Our specialized endodontists take charge in a traumatic dental emergency to save the infected or fractured region of the tooth and restore the patient’s smile.
Of course, the treatment of your toothache may not need such serious intervention. It all depends on the overall severity and condition.
