Toothache:

Facts Our Dentist in Indiana Wants You to Know

Toothache is a fairly common dental problem that can be indicative of serious infection and

potential tooth loss. It is not unusual for one to experience mild tooth discomfort when

exposed to hot or cold foods and beverages. However, if the pain is severe and lasts for more

than 15 seconds, it could indicate a serious problem. Here are some crucial facts about

toothache Indiana dentist, Dr. Atcha, wants you to know!

What is Toothache?

A toothache is any kind of pain and/or sensitivity experienced in and/or around the tooth.

Toothache usually occurs when there is inflammation of the central part of the tooth, called

the pulp chamber. The pulp contains the nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain. Tooth

decay, a damaged tooth filling, infected gums, fractured tooth, dental cavities and trauma can

all cause inflammation of the pulp, which can in turn result in toothache. As such, it is vitally

important that you seek treatment from experienced Indiana implant surgeon Dr. Atcha if a

toothache persists for more than three days.

What are the Symptoms of Toothache?

If you experience any of the following symptoms for more than three days or in a recurring

pattern, you should book an appointment with your Indiana dentist immediately.

Failure to do so may result in an easily treatable condition becoming aggravated and serious:

Sharp, throbbing pain in the tooth while chewing.

Swelling around the tooth or swelling in the jaw or

cheek.

Hot or cold sensitivity.

Fever.

Headache.

Foul or metallic taste in the mouth.

Persistent bad breath.

Since some of the above symptoms are commonly exhibited during tooth decay and gum

disease, it is advisable to consult your dentist. Dr. Atcha – who is claimed by patients in these

video testimonials and positive reviews to be exceptionally “compassionate” and have a

“wonderful bedside manner” – will examine the symptoms and provide an explanation of and

treatment for your condition.

What Happens During my Appointment with Dr. Atcha?

During your consultation with Dr. Atcha, he will ask you about your problems, when they

started and the nature of the pain involved. He will then perform a thorough visual

examination of your teeth and gums – don’t worry, he is very gentle and very kind and there

is absolutely no pain involved! Dr. Atcha will then likely take low radiation X-ray images of the

problematic tooth to see what’s going on inside the pulp chamber and the underlying bone.

He may also palpate your throat, head and neck to rule out any associated conditions or

symptoms. Once Dr. Atcha has determined the

cause of your problem, he will explain in detail your

treatment options and address any questions you

might have.

What are the Treatment Options for

Toothache?

This really depends on the cause of your toothache.

If it’s a cavity, Dr. Atcha will file away the decayed

portions of the tooth and fill them in again with a strong dental filling cement, which he will

then shape to mimic the missing natural tooth structure. If the toothache is due to an infected

pulp chamber, you may require root canal treatment, which really isn’t as painful as it’s

reputation will have you believing! At Dr. Atcha’s practice, all efforts are made to keep patients

very comfortable, relaxed and pain-free, so you probably won’t even remember much about

your procedure if you do undergo a root canal. If the tooth cannot be saved, Dr. Atcha may

recommend a dental implant. Either way, the steps taken will be to ensure that all pain is

permanently eliminated and your oral health restored.
