A toothache that has moved past discomfort into throbbing, radiating pain is not something to wait out. Pain that keeps you awake, spreads into the jaw or ear, or comes with swelling usually means infection has reached the nerve or the bone around the root.
At Bluewater Dental, we treat severe toothaches as urgent, because the longer an infection sits the more likely the tooth cannot be kept. Once we find the cause, treatment is often root canal therapy to save the tooth, and occasionally extraction when the damage has gone too far.
Dr. Blake Willoughby leads our Juno Beach practice on Donald Ross Road. Call us rather than waiting to see if it settles down, because a tooth that hurts this much rarely improves on its own.
