Emergency dental advice
Dental pain can be caused by several factors including decay, infections, gum disease, and impacted or fractured teeth. It can range from sensitivity to certain foods, through to a constant throbbing pain, which if left untreated may lead to a facial swelling.
Over the counter pain relievers and ice packs can be useful in the short term, but an appointment with a dentist will be necessary to resolve the problem.
