How do I know if a toothache is serious?
If the pain in your tooth comes on suddenly, lasts more than one or two days and is severe, or, if you have swelling or redness, you should always speak to your dentist.
Does a throbbing tooth mean infection?
A throbbing tooth could be a sign that you have a cavity or decay. It could also be a sign of an infection in the tooth or gum surrounding the tooth.
Can I ignore toothache?
Toothache can be a sign of tooth decay or infection. If left untreated tooth decay could spread into the centre of the tooth, causing the nerves to become inflamed. You should speak to your dentist if you have a discomfort that lasts for one or two days. Teeth should not hurt, if you are getting pain from your teeth, it is a sign that something may be wrong and needs investigation, you wouldn’t ignore a broken arm would you?
Will brushing your teeth stop a toothache?
Brushing your teeth won’t stop toothache, you should brush your teeth twice a day and floss / use TePe brushes daily to prevent toothache. Good oral hygiene and using a fluoride toothpaste can help reduce the development of decay and gum disease which can lead to toothache.

✨ Every smile has a story.
For this patient, treatment was about more than improving their teeth - it was about feeling confident enough to smile without hesitation.
It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do. Watching someone see their new smile for the first time never gets old.
If you’ve been thinking about making a change but aren’t sure where to start, we’re always happy to have a conversation about your options.

Worried that teeth straightening might hurt?
It’s one of the most common questions we get from patients considering aligner treatment.
The good news is that most patients don’t describe teeth straightening as painful. You may notice a feeling of pressure when you move to a new aligner, but this is usually mild, temporary and simply a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.
Many patients are surprised by how quickly they adapt and find that treatment fits comfortably into their daily routine.
Every smile is different, but our team will guide you through every step of your treatment journey and make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Thinking about straightening your teeth but still have questions? We’re always happy to help.
