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.
