A toothache can have many possible causes, so the first step is a dental exam. Our dentist can assess the tooth, review your symptoms, and recommend appropriate next steps based on what is found. Treatment may vary depending on whether the discomfort is related to a cavity, cracked tooth, gum inflammation, infection, bite pressure, damaged filling, or another concern.

What Causes a Toothache?
A toothache is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Pain may come from the tooth itself, the surrounding gums, the jaw, or existing dental work. Because different problems can feel similar, an exam is needed to understand the cause.
A toothache is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Pain may come from the tooth itself, the surrounding gums, the jaw, or existing dental work. Because different problems can feel similar, an exam is needed to understand the cause.
Common reasons for tooth pain may include:
- Cavities or tooth decay
- Cracked, chipped, or fractured teeth
- Deep fillings or damaged restorations
- Gum inflammation or gum disease
- Wisdom tooth concerns
- Dental injury or trauma
- Tooth infection or inflammation
- Bite pressure or grinding
- Exposed tooth roots
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Food trapped between teeth
Some toothaches come and go, while others become more persistent. Even if pain improves temporarily, it is still helpful to have the tooth assessed so the dentist can determine whether care is needed.
When Should You Call a Dentist for Tooth Pain?
You should contact a dentist if tooth pain is persistent, worsening, affecting your ability to chew, or accompanied by swelling, sensitivity, or a broken tooth. You should also book an assessment if you have pain that wakes you up, discomfort when biting, or a tooth that feels different from the surrounding teeth.
Call Burlington Dental Studio if you notice:
- Ongoing tooth pain
- Sharp pain when biting
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling around a tooth or gum
- A cracked or chipped tooth
- Pain after losing a filling or crown
- Tooth discomfort after an injury
- Pressure near the jaw or gums
- A tooth that feels loose or raised
These symptoms do not automatically mean a serious problem is present, but they should be checked by a dental professional.
What to Expect During a Toothache Appointment
During your toothache appointment, our team will ask about your symptoms, including when the pain started, what makes it worse, and whether you have noticed swelling, temperature sensitivity, or pain when chewing.
Your assessment may include:
- Review of symptoms and dental history
- Visual exam of the tooth and gums
- Bite assessment
- Gum health check
- Testing for sensitivity or pressure
- Digital X-rays when appropriate
- Review of existing fillings, crowns, or dental work
- Discussion of treatment options
- A tooth that feels loose or raised
Once the dentist understands the likely cause, they will explain the findings in clear language and recommend the next step. In some cases, treatment can be completed during the visit. In other cases, a follow-up appointment or staged treatment may be needed.
Toothache Treatment Options
Toothache treatment depends on the cause of the pain. Our dentist will recommend care only after examining the tooth and reviewing any needed imaging.
Possible treatment options may include:
- Dental filling for a cavity or small damaged area
- Crown for a cracked, worn, or weakened tooth
- Root canal therapy if the inner tooth tissue is inflamed or infected
- Tooth extraction if the tooth cannot be restored predictably
- Repair or replacement of a lost filling or crown
- Gum disease treatment if discomfort is related to gum inflammation
- Bite adjustment or night guard discussion if grinding is a factor
- Referral when specialist care is needed
The goal is to identify the source of discomfort and recommend care that matches your oral health needs.
Tooth Pain from Cavities or Damaged Fillings
Cavities may cause sensitivity, discomfort when chewing, or pain that becomes more noticeable over time. A damaged filling can also expose sensitive tooth structure or allow food to collect around the area.
If a cavity or damaged filling is found early enough, a dental filling may be recommended. If the tooth has lost more structure, a crown or another restorative option may be discussed.
Call us today or request your appointment online.
Tooth Pain and Root Canal Therapy
Sometimes tooth pain comes from inflammation or infection inside the tooth. Symptoms may include lingering sensitivity, deep aching, pressure, swelling, or discomfort when biting. In these cases, root canal therapy may be discussed if the tooth can be restored.
Root canal therapy is not needed for every toothache. Our dentist will assess the tooth and explain whether this treatment or another option is appropriate.

What can cause a toothache?
A toothache may be caused by cavities, cracked teeth, damaged fillings, gum inflammation, infection, bite pressure, exposed roots, or dental injury. A dental exam is needed to identify the cause.
Is tooth pain always an emergency?
Tooth pain should be assessed, especially if it is persistent, worsening, or affecting eating or sleep. Some cases may need urgent care, while others may be managed with a planned appointment.
Will I need a root canal for a toothache?
Not every toothache requires root canal therapy. Root canal treatment may be recommended only if the inner part of the tooth is inflamed or infected and the tooth can be restored.
What should I do if my tooth hurts when I bite?
If your tooth hurts when biting, avoid chewing on that side and book a dental assessment. Bite pain may be related to a crack, cavity, high filling, infection, or another concern that needs evaluation.
