Frequently asked questions
Will tooth pain go away on its own?
Some sensitivity improves, but persistent or worsening pain should be evaluated because dental infections and cracks can progress.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Common warning signs include lingering hot/cold pain, spontaneous throbbing, swelling, or pain to biting. A dental exam and X-ray help confirm the cause.
Can I take antibiotics for tooth pain?
Antibiotics do not fix the source of most dental infections. A dentist may need to treat the tooth or gums causing the problem.
