Dental pain can be sharp, throbbing and intrusive. It can make it impossible to sleep and eat, but often the thought of dealing with the problem is worse than the reality. Dental pain is most commonly the result of infection, tooth decay or a fractured tooth, and needs urgent treatment to ensure it doesn’t lead to more serious complications. Here at our Dentist in Beachwalk we are dedicated to seeing you as quickly as possible for an assessment and the effective alleviation of pain.

Where a patient attends with acute pain the Dentist in Beachwalk will first carry out an in-depth examination – often using digital x-rays - to ascertain the cause of the pain. They will then proceed to either place a filling, prescribe antibiotics to deal with an infection or a temporary dressing may be placed in the tooth or a different treatment implemented to eliminate pain swiftly and help stabilize the problem tooth.

This swift same day treatment means that patients rarely develop a life-threatening infection or lose the tooth unnecessarily. Our Dentist in Beachwalk will give the patients strict aftercare instructions, giving their tooth the time and space to heal without the problem returning.

Following on from this it is normally recommended that the patient return to the surgery so that the tooth can be properly restored and its continued oral health ensured. Patients are then comfortable again and less likely to develop unexpected and future pain.
