At Alexandra Dental, we understand how distressing dental pain can be.

That’s why we offer emergency appointments for patients across Hertfordshire and North West London, including St Albans, Harpenden, Watford, Kings Langley, Hatfield, Luton, Felden, Chesham, Bovingdon, and surrounding areas.

If you’re experiencing a sudden toothache, swelling, or a dental injury, our team is here to help, often with same-day emergency appointments.

Common Causes of Dental Pain

Dental pain can arise from various issues, including:

  • Teething discomfort (in children).
  • Wisdom tooth pain (from eruption or infection).
  • Gum infections: Gingivitis or periodontitis.
  • Mouth ulcers.
  • Tooth infections: Mild to severe.
  • Dental abscesses: Serious infections requiring urgent care.
  • Broken or chipped teeth.
  • Cracked teeth: Causing sharp pain when chewing.
  • Tooth sensitivity: Root exposure or enamel wear.
  • TMJ disorders: Jaw pain and discomfort.
  • Sinus infections: Can mimic tooth pain.
  • Dental trauma: From accidents or injuries.

Post-Treatment Dental Pain

Some discomfort after dental procedures is normal, but severe or prolonged pain may indicate a complication, such as:

  • Dry socket: Following a tooth extraction.
  • Dental abscess: After a filling or other treatment.
  • Ill-fitting dentures: Causing sore spots or discomfort.
  • Teeth whitening sensitivity: Temporary but sometimes intense.

The key to fast, effective relief is getting the right diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
