Toothache Relief
Toothache rarely settles on its own. It's your tooth telling you something has changed — decay reaching the nerve, a crack, a failing filling or an infection building under the surface. We keep emergency slots free every day so you don't have to wait it out.

Send us your details and we'll be in touch — usually within one working day.
Pain is a warning, not the problem.
Painkillers mask the signal but don't treat the cause. Once bacteria reach the nerve, the only way to stop the pain for good is to remove the infection and seal the tooth.
We'll take a small X-ray, find the source in one visit and get you comfortable — then agree a plan to save the tooth wherever possible.
How toothache shows up.
The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:
- 01A throbbing ache that keeps you awake
- 02Sharp pain when biting down
- 03Lingering pain after hot or cold drinks
- 04Swelling in the gum, cheek or jaw
- 05A bad taste or discharge near the tooth
- 06Tenderness when you tap the tooth
Where it comes from.
The most common culprits:
Don't wait it out.
Speak to your our practice dentist if you're experiencing any of the following — book an appointment as soon as you can:
- —The pain has lasted more than a day or two.
- —You have facial or gum swelling.
- —Painkillers no longer control it.
- —You have a fever alongside the pain.
In discomfort right now?
If you're in pain right now, call us — we hold emergency appointments back each day and will see you as quickly as we can.
A plan, not a quick fix.
We'll diagnose the cause, treat the infection or damage, and then restore the tooth — a filling, root canal treatment or crown depending on what we find.
