First steps for sudden toothache and when to visit the dentist?

When a toothache surprises you, the first step you should try to identify the type of pain. Is the pain sharp, throbbing or incessant? Next, it is important to know when this pain is so severe that it requires an immediate visit to the dentist. If you have swelling, fever, or severe, unremitting pain, that's for sure - time to see a dentist. At Majdent Clinic, we offer urgent care (when you make an appointment during the work week, we will treat acute cases on weekends and holidays) for such cases to help you get rid of the pain and find the cause of it quickly and efficiently.
