Oral pain such as sharp and throbbing or dull and achy can often be difficult to pinpoint. Because of the vast network of nerves in the mouth, the pain of a damaged or diseased tooth is often felt in another tooth and/or in the head, neck, or ear. Our Utah endodontic specialists rely on state of the art technology including lasers, microscopy, digital x-rays, CBCT, and intra-oral cameras for precise diagnosis and results in treating toothaches.
Endodontic Treatments
A severe toothache may mean the tooth’s soft inner tissue is damaged or infected as a result of deep decay or trauma. A Utah toothache specialist will perform an endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy, can relieve the pain and save the tooth by removing the pulp and cleaning, filling and sealing the canals. The tooth is then restored with a crown or other restoration.

Endodontic Treatment
Endodontists intervene before toothaches progress into a much more serious problem. If inner tooth decay goes untreated, the nerves and tissues can be destroyed, resulting in complete tooth loss. Our specialized endodontists take charge in a traumatic dental emergency to save the infected or fractured region of the tooth and restore the patient’s smile to its previous health.
Symptoms to Watch For
Toothaches vary from extreme, stabbing pains to a constant, dull ache. Take note of the type of pain you are experiencing and the area affected in order to describe it to a professional. If toothaches are accompanied by the following symptoms, call an endodontist immediately:
- Fever
- Discharge from infected area
- Toothache that does not subside after a full day
- Gum Inflammation
- Pain in teeth, neck, jaw or upon opening and closing mouth
