A sudden toothache can strike at the worst possible moment—during dinner, in the middle of the night, or just as you’re heading to work. No matter when it hits, one thing is clear: you need relief fast.

At the office of Dr. Monica Morgan in Tampa, we understand how painful and disruptive dental emergencies can be. That’s why we offer same-day care and compassionate treatment when you need it most.

What Causes a Sudden Toothache?

Tooth pain can be triggered by a variety of issues, including:

• Severe cavities or tooth decay

• A cracked or broken tooth

• Infected gums or abscess

• Something stuck between your teeth

• A lost filling or crown

Identifying the source is key to proper treatment, which is why an emergency dental visit is essential.

What Should You Do?

Until you can get to our office:

1. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water to reduce bacteria.

2. Floss gently to remove any trapped food.

3. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.

4. Take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed.

Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth—it can irritate the tissue.

When to Seek Emergency Dental Care

Call us immediately if you experience:

• Intense, persistent tooth pain

• Swelling in your face or jaw

• Fever or signs of infection

• Bleeding you can’t control

• Pain after trauma to the mouth

Prompt care can relieve pain, prevent complications, and save your tooth.
