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.
