Toothache Treatment in Hervey Bay
Identifying the Cause
Toothaches can stem from various causes, including dental decay, gum disease, dental trauma or injury, tooth sensitivity, cracked teeth, abscesses, and teeth grinding or clenching. Our skilled dentists will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause of your toothache. This allows us to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Preventing Toothaches
Prevention is crucial in avoiding toothaches caused by dental decay and gum disease. You can significantly reduce the risk of developing toothaches by practicing good oral hygiene habits such as brushing at least twice a day, daily flossing, and scheduling regular dental check-ups and cleanings. We also recommend limiting sugary foods and drinks, quitting tobacco use, and using a mouthguard during sports or at night to prevent teeth grinding or clenching.
Treatment Options
We offer a range of treatment options to address toothaches based on their underlying cause. Cavities can be treated with dental fillings or restorations, while infected or abscessed teeth may require root canal treatment. For severely damaged teeth, tooth extraction may be recommended, and dental bonding or crowns can be used for cracked teeth. Although over-the-counter pain medications can provide temporary relief, seeking professional dental care for proper diagnosis and treatment is essential.
