Severe tooth pain

Severe tooth pain? Get the cause assessed.

Toothache can range from mild sensitivity to severe, throbbing pain that affects eating, sleeping and everyday life.

At Pristine Dental Group, we provide emergency toothache appointments in London 7 days a week, with same-day appointments available where possible.

Our aim is not simply to mask the pain. We identify the likely cause, relieve the immediate problem and explain the most appropriate treatment.

Same-day appointments where available

Can the tooth be saved?

We consider saving the natural tooth wherever appropriate.

Severe pain does not automatically mean the tooth needs to be removed.

Depending on the problem, treatment may include a filling, crown, root canal treatment or another restorative option.

If the tooth is too badly damaged or cannot be predictably restored, extraction may instead be recommended.

tooth extracted

What if the tooth cannot be saved?

Ask about immediate tooth replacement.

If extraction is necessary, suitable patients considering dental implants can also be assessed for:

  1. Tooth extraction
  2. Immediate dental implant placement
  3. Temporary tooth on the same day where clinically appropriate

This can be particularly valuable when the affected tooth is visible within the smile.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a same-day appointment for toothache?

Yes, where availability allows. Contact us as early as possible.

Does severe toothache mean I need an extraction?

No. Many painful teeth can potentially be treated and retained.

Could I need a root canal?

Yes. If the dental nerve is inflamed or infected and the tooth can be restored, root canal treatment may be appropriate.

Will antibiotics cure my toothache?

Not all toothache requires antibiotics. The underlying cause usually needs to be diagnosed and appropriately treated.

What if the tooth cannot be saved?

We can discuss extraction and replacement options, including immediate dental implant placement where clinically suitable.
