Extreme Toothache or Pain
For extreme tooth pain that you cannot determine any particular cause of, try rinsing the mouth with warm salt water and flossing gently. Do not put any kind of medication or painkillers directly on the affected area. See Dr. Eunyoung Shim so that he can examine and diagnose the cause and recommend treatment so that you can be relieved of pain and get back to your daily life!

Causes of Toothaches
Toothaches can result from cavities, gum disease, infections, or dental trauma, leading to symptoms like persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, and discomfort while chewing. Our skilled team provides comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatments to address the root cause of your toothache, ensuring your comfort and promoting optimal oral health.

How to Handle Toothaches
Use dental floss to loosen any food debris that may be stuck in between your teeth. If doing this does not resolve your discomfort, take an over-the-counter painkiller, like ibuprofen, to reduce inflammation in the meantime. At your emergency visit, we will determine the cause of your discomfort and finalize a solution to address your pain.
A persistent or throbbing toothache is often a sign of underlying dental infection, deep decay, a cracked tooth, or nerve trauma that requires immediate professional care. Located at 11411 Coit Rd, Suite 170, Frisco, TX 75035, Lexington Dental Frisco—under the clinical leadership of Dr. Eunyoung Shim—provides fast, effective toothache relief for patients throughout Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, and Little Elm.
