Dental pain is any sort of pain or discomfort that originates from the teeth or gums. It can be sharp and shooting, or a dull ache. Dental pain can also radiate to other parts of the head, such as the temples or jaw.

The Dental Pain Treatment Process

If you are experiencing dental pain, the first step is to schedule an appointment with your dentist. During your appointment, your dentist will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination. They will also order any necessary diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or blood work. Once the underlying cause of your dental pain is determined, your dentist will develop a treatment plan. This plan may include a combination of at-home care and professional dental treatments. If you are in pain, he/she may also prescribe you some antibiotics to help provide pain relief.

Does Dental Pain Treatment Hurt?

The level of pain you experience during dental pain treatment will depend on the procedure being performed. For example, a filling is usually not painful. However, a root canal can be quite painful. Your dentist will do everything possible to minimize your discomfort and make you as comfortable as possible.
