Service Name: Toothache Treatment

Introduction:

Toothaches can be a sign of various dental issues, ranging from cavities to infections. OnPoint Urgent Care Houston offers prompt and effective treatment for toothaches, providing relief and addressing the underlying causes to prevent further dental health complications.

Service Description:

At OnPoint Urgent Care Houston, our team is prepared to handle the urgent care aspects of dental pain. We understand that toothaches require quick attention to alleviate severe discomfort and to prevent the condition from worsening. While we do not replace the need for a dentist, we can provide initial care and guidance, especially when dental clinics are closed or an appointment is not immediately available.

Symptoms and Causes of Toothaches:

A toothache may present with symptoms such as:

• Sharp, Throbbing, or Constant Pain: In and around the tooth.
• Swelling Around the Tooth: Indicating possible infection.
• Fever or Headache: As a result of the dental issue.
• Foul-tasting Drainage: From the infected tooth.

Common causes of toothaches include tooth decay, abscessed tooth, fractured tooth, damaged filling, infected gums, and repetitive motions, such as grinding teeth or chewing gum.

Comprehensive Treatment Approach:

• Pain Evaluation: Determining the severity and source of the toothache.
• Temporary Pain Relief: Administering appropriate pain relievers or applying temporary measures to alleviate the pain.
• Referral to Dental Specialists: Advising patients to seek specialized dental care for comprehensive treatment, which may include fillings, root canals, or extractions.
• Infection Management: If signs of infection are present, prescribing antibiotics to manage infection prior to dental treatment.
• Patient Education: Providing advice on oral hygiene practices to prevent future dental problems.

When to Seek Treatment for Toothaches:

Immediate care is essential if:

• The pain is severe or has lasted for more than 1-2 days.
• There is a fever, earache, or pain when opening the mouth wide.
• The toothache is the result of a recent dental procedure.

Importance of Professional Care:

Addressing a toothache promptly with professional care is critical to prevent the spread of infection and to ensure proper healing. An untreated toothache can lead to serious health issues if the infection spreads.
