The relevant anatomy, timing, and examination findings distinguish a surface problem from disease deeper in the tooth or supporting tissues.
What can you do safely until a dentist examines the ache?
Avoid triggers, keep the area clean, and never put aspirin or chemicals on the gum.
Record when the problem began, what triggers it, and any swelling, bleeding, fever, injury, or recent dental work.
When does toothache require urgent dental attention?
Seek urgent care for swelling, fever, trauma, or difficulty swallowing.
A dentist can examine the tissues, test the teeth and gums, and use dental imaging when indicated by the findings.
What is causing my toothache and which treatments fit?
Ask what caused the problem, which treatment addresses it, and what alternatives are appropriate.
Ask which changes should prompt an earlier review and what you should do while waiting.
