FAQ

Toothache Treatment Questions

Why does my toothache seem worse at night?

 Tooth pain may feel stronger at night because lying down can increase pressure around an inflamed tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the ache more noticeable. If pain repeatedly interrupts your sleep, schedule a dental examination to find out what's causing it. 

Can a tooth hurt even when there isn't a visible cavity?

 Yes. A tooth may ache because of enamel wear, a hidden crack, gum recession, or irritation inside the tooth. Some problems aren't visible without a dental examination or X-rays. Our Encino dentists can check the affected area and recommend treatment based on what they find. 

Does tooth sensitivity always mean I need a filling?

 No. Sensitive teeth can result from exposed roots, worn enamel, or temporary irritation. A filling may help if decay or a damaged tooth surface is responsible. Your dentist will examine the tooth to determine whether a restoration or another approach would be more suitable. 

Should I visit a dentist if my toothache comes with swollen gums?

 Yes. Swelling near a painful tooth may indicate gum inflammation or a dental infection that needs attention. Contact a dentist promptly, particularly if the swelling is increasing. If you develop difficulty breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical care immediately.
