Tooth pain has a cause, usually a cavity at the nerve, a crack, or an infection, and the pain ends when the cause is treated. Most patients leave their first visit out of pain.

What to Do About a Toothache Right Now
Call (602) 861-0505. Sonoran Dental Arts holds same-day time for tooth pain, and the office answers from 7:00 AM Monday through Wednesday and 8:00 AM Thursday. Until you are seen, rinse with warm salt water, use an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on its label, and hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek in 15-minute intervals. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum; it burns the tissue.
When a Toothache Is an Emergency
- Swelling in your face, jaw, or neck
- Fever together with tooth pain
- Pain that wakes you up at night or does not respond to pain relievers
- A bad taste or drainage near the tooth, which can mean an abscess
Any of these can signal an infection that will not resolve on its own. An abscess can spread beyond the tooth, so it needs a dentist the same day, and swelling that affects breathing or swallowing belongs in an emergency room first.
What Actually Causes Tooth Pain
Most toothaches trace back to a cavity that has reached the nerve, a cracked tooth, a lost filling, an abscess, or gum disease around the root. Cold sensitivity that fades quickly is usually early enamel wear or recession; pain that lingers after the cold is gone points at the nerve. The only way to know is an exam and an X-ray, which is exactly how a toothache visit at our office starts.
How We Treat It
Dr. Field finds the cause on the X-ray, numbs the tooth, and tells you the options with written prices before doing anything. Depending on the cause, relief comes from a filling, a crown, root canal treatment, or extraction as the last resort. Most patients leave the first visit out of pain, even when a follow-up appointment finishes the treatment.

Common questions
How do I stop a toothache fast at home?
Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label, and use a cold compress on the cheek. These dull the pain for hours, they do not fix the cause. Call (602) 861-0505 for a same-day exam.
Will a toothache go away on its own?
Pain from a cavity or infection does not. It often quiets for days or weeks while the problem grows, then returns worse. A tooth that hurt and then stopped hurting can mean the nerve has died, which still needs treatment.
How fast can I be seen for tooth pain in Phoenix?
Call (602) 861-0505 when the office opens (7:00 AM Monday through Wednesday, 8:00 AM Thursday), and we hold same-day time for toothaches whenever the schedule allows.
Do I need a root canal or can the tooth be filled?
It depends on whether decay has reached the nerve, which an X-ray shows in minutes. Dr. Field shows you the image and gives you the price of each option in writing before treatment.
