A toothache is more than just discomfort; it is your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention. Dental pain can range from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, throbbing pain that makes it difficult to eat, sleep, or focus on daily tasks. Common causes include tooth decay, a cracked tooth, an infected pulp, or a loose or lost filling. In many cases, the pain intensifies over time when the underlying issue goes untreated, which is why seeking care quickly is so important.
Dr. Ponder takes dental pain seriously and works to identify the root cause rather than simply masking the discomfort. Depending on what she finds during your evaluation, treatment may involve root canal therapy to address an infected tooth, a tooth-colored filling to restore a decayed or damaged area, or a dental crown to protect a compromised tooth. Her goal is to relieve your pain and preserve your tooth whenever possible, using conservative treatment that is in your best long-term interest.
