Toothaches can be caused by cavities, gum disease, loose fillings, or even an impacted wisdom tooth. To prevent toothaches from occurring, avoid sugary food and drinks and visit the dentist every six months for regular dental checkups. The presence of pus or swelling around the tooth, together with a high temperature, may indicate an abscess, a more dangerous condition. Toothaches are usually treated with painkillers or antibiotics, depending on the cause of the pain. If you're ready to schedule an appointment with our dentists in Woollahra, call us today.
