Practical, temporary care
Until your appointment
Temporary relief does not treat the cause. Call promptly for severe, persistent or worsening pain.
- Keep the area gently clean and avoid chewing on the painful tooth.
- Use medicines only as directed on the label and with pharmacist or clinician advice when needed.
- Do not put aspirin, chemicals or other substances directly on the tooth or gum.
Symptoms guide the examination
Different pain.
One careful assessment.
Pain patterns help us ask the right questions. They do not diagnose the problem on their own.
Biting or sharp pain
A crack, damaged filling or bite problem can hurt when biting down or releasing pressure. Tell us which tooth and what sets it off.
Hot or cold sensitivity
Brief sensitivity and lingering pain can have different causes. Tell us how long it lasts and whether heat also triggers it.
Throbbing or night pain
Pain that worsens, interrupts sleep or stops you eating deserves prompt assessment. Mention any swelling, fever or bad taste.

Less uncertainty.
Toothache questions, without the long detour.
What can I do for temporary tooth-pain relief?
Keep the area gently clean, avoid chewing on the painful side and choose softer foods. A cold pack outside the face may help swelling. Use medicines only as directed and seek pharmacist advice when needed. Never place aspirin on the gum. These steps do not treat the underlying cause.
Can I wait for toothache to settle?
Pain can change even when the cause remains. Arrange an assessment for persistent or recurring toothache. Call promptly for severe pain, disturbed sleep, swelling, fever or a bad taste.
Does cold sensitivity mean I need a root canal?
No. Exposed dentine, decay, a crack and irritation after dental work can all cause sensitivity. The duration and triggers help guide testing. Root canal treatment is recommended only when the findings support it.
Can you treat the tooth at the first appointment?
Treatment may be possible at the same visit when clinically appropriate and with your consent. We first assess the cause, explain your options and discuss fees. It is not a guarantee of treatment that day.
Why does a tooth hurt when I bite?
A crack, damaged restoration, inflammation or bite pressure can cause biting pain. Tell the dentist whether it hurts on biting down or releasing. Symptoms alone cannot show the depth or cause.
What if the pain is coming from a wisdom tooth?
An assessment can help identify that. If the problem is wisdom-tooth related, we explain suitable care and direct you to our dedicated wisdom-tooth information rather than assuming every toothache needs the same treatment.
