Toothache Relief in Singapore

Understanding Toothaches: Why Is My Tooth Hurting?

Toothaches can come from many sources, and each type of pain tells a different story. Common causes include:

​

• Tooth decay or cavities reaching deeper layers

• Cracked or chipped teeth, often causing pain when biting

• Worn or leaking fillings

• Nerve inflammation (pulpitis) or dental abscesses

• Gum disease or exposed roots

• Sensitivity from whitening or enamel wear

• Jaw pressure or clenching

• Sinus-related tooth pain

Sharp pain when chewing often suggests a hairline crack or bite imbalance, which is one of the most overlooked causes of toothache in Singapore.

A clinical exam and X-ray are essential for proper diagnosis — symptoms alone rarely reveal the full picture.

When to See a Dentist for Tooth Pain

You should seek care immediately if you notice any of the following:

​

• Persistent pain lasting more than 1–2 days

• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

• Throbbing pain or swelling

• Pain when biting or chewing

• Pus, foul taste, or fever

• Swelling of the gums or face

Dentalis also offers emergency toothache treatment in Singapore, with same-day slots for patients in significant discomfort.
