1 August 2026 · Pain & emergencies
Dental pain can mean a deep cavity, infection, a gum problem, or a crack. Some situations need to be seen quickly; others can be booked normally.
Strong throbbing pain, fever, cheek swelling, or difficulty opening the mouth are signs you should contact the clinic as soon as possible.
Sensitivity to cold that passes quickly can wait for a normal appointment, but not for months — the cavity deepens.
At home: avoid chewing on the side that hurts, do not apply aspirin directly on the gum, and do not delay if pain increases at night or wakes you from sleep.

Consultation & treatment plan ↗Do not turn an article into a self-diagnosis. At the consultation we examine you clinically and review the images, then discuss your options.
The next step is a clear consultation, not a diagnosis guessed from an article.
