Toothache in Frederick MD

Frederick MD dental care

While there are various reasons why you might develop a toothache, one thing never changes when it comes to tooth pain: you want to be rid of it as quickly as possible. Here at Frederick Dental, our priority is identifying the cause of your toothache so that you can be treated accurately and effective. Furthermore, our Frederick MD dental care understands the urgency involved in needing treatment for tooth pain. That's why we make certain you can get in to our office to be seen promptly for emergency dental needs.

One of the most common sources of a toothache is the effect of a cavity. Your tooth enamel protects your tooth from pain, but cavities leave your tooth susceptible. And even if you've had a cavity filled before, if the filling has fallen out, you will need a replacement. It is essential that any cavity or lost filling be addressed right away, because even if you don't have a toothache right now, allowing the cavity to grow larger will only put you at risk for more problems, such as an infection in your tooth. That is another reason for needing our Frederick MD dental care. The pain that you feel with a toothache that is due to an infection can be excruciating. Unfortunately, it takes more than a filling to address the situation. You will need root canal therapy, which despite its bad reputation, is actually not scary at all. Our Frederick MD dental care uses modern equipment and advanced techniques that cause very little or even no pain at all during the procedure. Toothaches can also be the result of a chipped or cracked tooth, jaw problems like TMJ disorder, or latter stage gum disease.

Be sure to call us first thing when you have a toothache, no matter how minimal it may seem. Today's mild tooth pain can be tomorrow's severe. Schedule a quick appointment with us right now.
