Persistent Toothache

Conditions We Treat

How do I know if I have Persistent Toothache?

Are you grappling with a persistent toothache that defies explanation, even though dental examinations have shown that there are no cavities, fractures, abscesses, or gum disease?

Do you have tooth pain that persists after dental work or a root canal, despite efforts to alleviate it?

Have you a toothache that endures for months following a root canal, particularly if it was performed to alleviate severe pain disrupting your sleep and daily life?

If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions you may well be suffering with persistent toothache or as it is known nowadays, persistent idiopathic dentoalveolar pain (PIDP). Whether you’ve endured weeks, months, or even years of discomfort, at NCOFP, we recognise the frustration and distress that come with unrelenting tooth pain. We listen and validate your pain and are committed to assisting our patients with strategies to help manage the symptoms of PIDP.

What can be done to help my Persistent Toothache?

As with all orofacial pain concerns, the starting point to any pain management journey is a thorough clinical examination. During this visit, Dr. Chah will be actively listening to your concerns and delving deep to investigate the underlying causes of your pain.

Once the root cause of your persistent toothache is identified, Dr. Chah crafts a personalised treatment plan just for you. This may involve various interventions, including oral or injectable medications, nerve blocks, BOTOX® injections, intra-oral appliances, and where applicable, strategies to address teeth clenching and grinding. At NCOFP, we draw on our clinical experience and collaborative approach with other healthcare providers to offer comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs and collaborate with your doctors to adjust medications as needed.

If you have read this and feel like it is describing your pain and discomfort, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out to NCOFP today to get started on your journey to helping you find ease from your persistent toothache and regain your quality of life.
