Toothache at Night: When Should You Seek Urgent Dental Care?

Nighttime tooth pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Common causes include deep decay, a dental abscess, a cracked tooth, a damaged filling or crown, gum infection, or teeth grinding.

Contact a dental office promptly if the pain is severe, constant, or keeps you awake, or if you notice:

• Facial, jaw, or gum swelling
• Fever or chills
• Pus or a foul taste in the mouth
• A broken, loose, or knocked-out tooth

Pain may fade on its own without the problem being resolved, so waiting it out can let infection or damage progress.

When searching for a dentist near me, confirm the practice handles urgent cases. PM Dental Care provides emergency dentistry in Mineola for patients from Garden City, New Hyde Park, East Williston, and Roslyn Heights.
