When Should You See a Dentist for a Toothache?

If you’re having tooth pain and wondering whether you should see a dentist, the answer is simple: don’t wait. Tooth pain is your body’s way of telling you something needs attention—and delaying care can lead to bigger problems and higher costs.

Why You Shouldn't Ignore Tooth Pain

Toothaches can come from several common issues, including:

  • Cavities — decay can reach the nerve and cause intense discomfort

  • Infections — untreated infections can spread and become more serious

  • Gum disease — inflammation can worsen over time

  • Cracked or broken teeth — even small cracks can expose sensitive areas

Catching the cause early often means a simpler, faster treatment.
