Go to a hospital emergency department if
- swelling is spreading to your eye, down your neck or under your jaw
- you have trouble breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth
- bleeding won’t stop after 20 minutes of firm pressure
- you’ve had a blow to the head, or a possible broken jaw
- you feel very unwell with a high fever
These need emergency care first. We can treat the tooth afterwards.
Problems we see the same day
Severe toothache. Usually an inflamed or infected nerve. We find which tooth it is, often with an X-ray, and either start root canal treatment to relieve the pain or, if the tooth can’t be saved, discuss extraction.
Dental abscess and swelling. A painful swelling on the gum or face from an infected tooth. We drain it if possible, treat the tooth and prescribe antibiotics if the infection is spreading.
Broken or chipped tooth. Sharp edges are smoothed or bonded. A large break may need a temporary cover until a crown or root canal can be done.
Lost filling or crown. Keep the crown and bring it in. It can often be cleaned and re-cemented the same day.
Wisdom tooth flare-up. Swollen, infected gum around a wisdom tooth. We clean the area, relieve the pain and plan whether the tooth should come out. See wisdom tooth removal.
Knocked-out or loosened tooth after an injury. Time matters most for knocked-out adult teeth. Come straight in.
Pain after recent dental treatment. Throbbing after a filling, or pain after an extraction (possible dry socket). We check and settle it.
What to do before you get here
- Take an over-the-counter painkiller you know is safe for you, following the pack.
- For swelling, hold a cold pack wrapped in a cloth against your cheek, ten minutes at a time.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- Avoid chewing on the painful side, and avoid very hot, cold or sweet food.
- Don’t put tablets on the gum, and don’t apply heat to a swollen face.
How the first visit works
The first aim is to find the cause and stop the pain. That may mean starting treatment there and then, or giving you a temporary fix and booking you back for the full treatment. You’ll know what’s wrong, what the options are and what each will cost before we go ahead with anything beyond pain relief.
Calling the clinic
Call +91 95410 93573 or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us where the pain is, how long you’ve had it, and whether there’s any swelling. The clinic is on the first floor of Eros City Square Mall, Sector 49, above McDonald’s.
Questions patients ask us
What should I do for severe tooth pain at night?
Take an over-the-counter painkiller you know is safe for you, following the pack. Sleep with your head raised on an extra pillow, since lying flat often makes tooth pain throb more. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet food on that side. Call us in the morning. If your face is swelling or you have a fever, don't wait.
Why is tooth pain worse at night?
When you lie down, more blood flows to the head and the pressure inside an inflamed tooth rises. There are also fewer distractions. Pain that wakes you at night often means the nerve is badly inflamed and the tooth may need root canal treatment.
Will antibiotics fix my toothache?
Usually not. Most toothache comes from an inflamed nerve, which antibiotics don't treat. Antibiotics help when there is spreading infection and swelling, but the tooth still needs treatment, otherwise the infection comes back.
Should I put a painkiller tablet on the gum?
No. Holding an aspirin or other tablet against the gum can burn it. Swallow painkillers as directed. Clove oil on a cotton bud can numb the area briefly.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
For an adult tooth, pick it up by the crown, not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or water, without scrubbing. Push it back into the socket if you can and bite on a cloth. If not, keep it in milk or inside your cheek and come to us straight away. The first hour matters. Don't put a baby tooth back in.
What should I do if I break a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any pieces in milk, and cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax. Call us. A small chip can often be bonded the same day; a larger break may need a crown or root canal treatment.
Do you see children for urgent dental problems?
Yes. Toothache, swelling and knocked or broken teeth in children are seen the same day where possible. For a knocked-out baby tooth, don't try to put it back; just bring your child in.
