Common causes of toothache

What are the potential causes of severe toothache?

When you’re suffering from severe toothache, it’s hard to focus on anything else. Unlike many other types of pain, acute toothache can be relentless leaving you unable to function. We know what it’s like to experience this type of distress, which is why we provide emergency toothache treatments for a range of problems.

Tooth decay

Decay or cavities in the tooth can expose the nerve and cause sharp, intense pain.

Tooth abcess

An abscess is a pus-filled sac caused by a bacterial infection. It can result in severe throbbing pain and swelling.

Tooth fracture

A cracked or fractured tooth can cause extreme discomfort, especially when chewing or exposed to extreme temperatures.

Damaged filling

If a dental filling becomes damaged or falls out, it can leave the tooth vulnerable to pain and sensitivity.

Infected gums

Gum infections, such as periodontal abscesses, can cause pain that radiates to the teeth.

Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Grinding or clenching your teeth can lead to toothache due to excessive pressure on the teeth.

Dental trauma

An injury to the tooth, such as a blow or impact, can result in severe tooth pain.

Sinus infection

Sinus infections can cause referred pain that feels like a toothache in the upper teeth.

I’ve had a gum graft procedure done today, and honestly, Imran has been amazing. He was very reassuring throughout all my appointments leading up to the surgery. Imran and his team have been fantastic every step of the way—whenever I felt worried during phone calls, they reassured me and gave me the confidence to go ahead with the procedure. I didn’t feel any pain at all, and everything was done quickly and professionally. Thank you, Imran and your team.

So after many weeks of being let down with the wrong or bad treatment from my local dentist. I spent weeks contacting different dentists. I went to Re-Ignite Dental after seeing so much positive stuff on line. After 5 minutes with Dr Imran on my initial consultation I knew I was in the right place. I had my first visit, which was a root canal and I'd nearly say I enjoyed it lol. He shows so much passion in his work as do the nurses and reception staff that I am lucky to have found them. Yesterday my second visit and I had some composite bonding on my bottom teeth, and it didn't really hit me until I got home how good they actually looked. Now I'm looking forward to my next appointment to have my upper teeth done. Thanks so much.

Went to see Dr Imran for a re root canal . He was very professional and made me feel at ease. He managed to clear the infection and save my tooth. Very happy patient. Thank you would highly recommend !

I went to Reignite Dental with a broken tooth and was so nervous about the whole process. Dr. Imran was incredibly kind and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and put me at ease. I’m currently in the healing process for my dental implant, and everything has gone so smoothly so far. Even though I was extremely anxious at the start, I now feel very confident that I’m in the right hands. The whole team has been professional, caring, and supportive throughout. I couldn’t recommend Reignite Dental enough! Thank you!

I recently had composite bonding, whitening and a scale and polish at Re-Ignite. I couldn’t speak more highly of my experience, my teeth look extremely natural yet perfect. Between Imran, Mia, Leah and Freya, my experience was 10/10 and I’d highly recommend.

Phil Hayton

As a new patient, I was impressed from the outset by how efficient and well-organised the onboarding process was. Registration, medical history and initial assessments were handled smoothly, with clear communication throughout.The whole team are friendly, approachable and professional — you feel looked after the moment you walk in. The practice also uses advanced digital scanning and high-technology software, which really elevates the patient experience. Seeing detailed imaging and treatment planning in real time adds clarity and reassurance. It’s clear this is a modern, forward-thinking practice investing in technology to improve care. A genuinely positive experience from start to finish.

Your toothache questions answered simply.

We keep everything straightforward so you always know what to expect. Here are some of the most common questions new patients ask.

Is toothache always a dental emergency?

Not always, but severe or persistent pain should be assessed as soon as possible to prevent the problem worsening.

Can you see me the same day?

We aim to offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Calling early gives you the best chance of being seen quickly.

What will happen at an emergency appointment?

We will assess the problem, take any necessary scans, and explain your treatment options clearly before proceeding.

Will you treat the problem on the same day?

In many cases, yes. Our priority is to relieve pain quickly and stabilise the issue, with follow-up treatment arranged if needed.

What should I do before my appointment?

Avoid chewing on the affected side, take pain relief if appropriate, and call us as soon as possible so we can advise you.
