Tooth pain or infection
Pain gets attention fast — and it should.
But pain doesn’t automatically mean “worst case.” It means your body is asking for clarity.
Our goal is simple: calm the situation, confirm what’s actually going on, and choose the cleanest next step.
Two people can describe “tooth pain” and be dealing with completely different problems.
Some causes are simple and reversible. Others need more involved care. The key is not guessing.
When something hurts, it’s tempting to jump straight to a solution. But treating the symptom without finding the source can miss what matters.
We move quickly to evaluate — and carefully when deciding — so you’re not pushed into the wrong path.
We start by listening to how it feels — what triggers it, what relieves it, and how long it’s been going on. Then we examine the tooth and the surrounding tissues.
If we need imaging, we use it to confirm what’s happening below the surface — so the plan is based on evidence, not assumptions.
If you’re in pain, you don’t need to carry it alone. We’ll evaluate what’s going on and walk you through the cleanest path forward.
You’ll understand the plan before anything is done.
