These are signs of infection, nerve damage, or advanced decay. If an infection is the cause, prompt tooth infection treatment can stop it before it spreads.

At Dentist in Powell, emergency dental care focuses on fast pain relief first — followed by long-term treatment planning. Don't wait it out: book an appointment or call (614) 659-0018.
Tooth pain is an emergency when it is severe or throbbing, wakes you up at night, radiates to your jaw, ear, or head, or comes with swelling or fever. These symptoms point to infection or nerve damage that needs same-day care.
The most common causes are deep cavities, infected or abscessed teeth, cracked or fractured teeth, and exposed tooth nerves. A dentist can identify the cause quickly with an exam and X-ray.
Painkillers only mask the symptom. The underlying infection or damage keeps progressing and can spread — see a dentist as soon as possible for lasting relief and to protect the tooth.
