Severe Toothache in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

There is a difference between a tooth that is sensitive and a tooth that is throbbing. Pain that keeps you awake, radiates into the jaw or ear, or arrives with facial swelling generally means infection has reached the nerve or the bone around the root, and that does not resolve by waiting.

At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office treats severe toothache as urgent, because every day an infection sits there lowers the odds of keeping the tooth. Once we find the cause, treatment is usually root canal therapy, and occasionally extraction where the damage has gone too far to reverse.
