Overview
Understanding tooth pain
Tooth pain can range from brief sensitivity to persistent throbbing that disrupts sleep and eating. The cause is not always obvious — it may be decay, a cracked tooth, gum infection, an abscess, or even referred pain from the jaw joint. At our Kondhwa clinic, Dr. Sudeshna Sharma examines the tooth, surrounding gums, and bite before recommending treatment. The priority is relieving your discomfort and preserving your natural tooth whenever that is the right clinical choice.

Questions
Answers before you book
Straight talk from a specialist clinic — so you can decide with clarity, not pressure.
Should I wait if the pain comes and goes?
Intermittent pain often means a tooth is struggling — the nerve may be inflamed even when symptoms ease temporarily. Earlier assessment usually means simpler, less costly treatment. Waiting until pain becomes constant often means a root canal or extraction is the only option.
Is tooth pain always caused by a cavity?
Not always. Cracks, gum infections, bite problems, sinus issues, and jaw joint strain can all cause tooth-like pain. That is why we examine thoroughly rather than assuming the cause before we have looked.
Can I take painkillers and skip the dentist?
Painkillers may mask symptoms temporarily but do not treat the underlying cause. An untreated infection can spread and lead to more serious problems. We recommend booking an appointment rather than relying on medication alone.
Do you offer emergency appointments for tooth pain?
We prioritise patients in significant pain and do our best to see you promptly. Call our Kondhwa clinic and describe your symptoms — we will advise on the earliest available slot and what to do until your visit.
Which treatment will I need for my tooth pain?
It depends on the cause. Mild decay may need a filling; nerve infection often needs a root canal; a hopeless tooth may need extraction; wisdom teeth and gum issues have their own pathways. We diagnose first, then link you to the right treatment — never a one-size-fits-all answer.
