Is toothache pain keeping you up at night? Toothache pain can be excruciating and debilitating. It’s essential to get relief as soon as possible. Naperville Family Dentists can relieve toothache pain and mishaps, quickly getting you back on track to total dental health. 

We have a variety of treatments to provide the perfect solution for your needs.

 

What Can I Do About My Toothache?

There are a few things you can do to find relief from your toothache pain:

  • Take Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Pain relievers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can help reduce inflammation and ease toothache pain.
  • Use a Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to your cheek can help numb the pain and reduce swelling.
  • Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Be sure to brush and floss your teeth regularly. Good oral hygiene will help remove bacteria and food particles that could be exacerbating your toothache pain.

If you’re experiencing severe toothache pain, it’s important to see us as soon as possible. We can determine the cause of your toothache pain and provide more targeted treatment.

 

How Can Naperville Family Dentists Help?

We offer a variety of treatments, including:

 

Dental Fillings

A cavity can allow bacteria and plaque to enter the tooth’s internal areas, causing sensitivity. We can fill cavities and tooth decay to prevent further damage and pain. 

 

Root Canals

If an infection causes toothache pain, we can perform a root canal to remove the infected tissue and save the tooth. We remove the nerve and pulp from your tooth during a root canal procedure. We then clean and seal the inside of the tooth. While the process sounds intense, it’s actually quite common. And there’s no need to worry-root canals are usually painless and have a very high success rate. So don’t fret-you’re in excellent hands with Dr. Diane M. Mach, who specializes in root canal therapy.

 

Extractions

The best course of action may be to extract the damaged tooth in some cases. We usually prefer to save a natural tooth, but sometimes it’s not possible. We can perform an extraction safely, effectively, and with as little discomfort as possible. And if you need a tooth extracted, you’ll feel better knowing that Dr. Nicholas P. Primiano specializes in restorative dentistry. He can replace your tooth with a brand-new, fully-functional, great-looking replacement.

 

What Does My Toothache Seem Worse at Night?

Your toothache gets worse right when you’re trying to sleep, right? Unfortunately, there’s a reason for that. When you sleep, the position you’re in allows gravity to pool more blood in your head than usual. That extra blood flow can put pressure on the nerves in your teeth and gums and make your toothache pain worse.

It can help if you prop your head up on a few pillows. Propping your head up will cause the blood to flow away from the painful tooth and hopefully allow you to get some sleep.

There are also other things that can happen at night that make toothache pain worse. For instance, you may be more relaxed at night and not aware of how you’re clenching or grinding your teeth. This can lead to increased toothache pain.
