A severe toothache is a dental emergency that requires prompt attention to prevent further complications. Common signs of a severe toothache include intense, throbbing pain, swelling in the mouth, cheeks, or under the eye, difficulty eating, trouble sleeping, fever, chills, and a bad taste in your mouth. If left untreated, a severe toothache can lead to more serious issues, such as tooth loss, an abscess, or even a life-threatening infection like sepsis, which occurs when bacteria spread throughout the body.
If you're experiencing a severe toothache, it’s essential to seek care as soon as possible. At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry in Lowell, MA, Dr. Luz and our compassionate team are dedicated to providing fast relief for tooth pain. The good news is that, in many cases, treatment can be straightforward, and you can experience pain relief right away during your first visit.

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Sometimes it’s a slip on the ice or an accidental bump while playing sports. Other times, it’s something more surprising—like a broken tooth from biting down on a popcorn kernel or a cracked crown caused by opening a bottle with your teeth. We’ve even had patients who’ve damaged their teeth during a tough workout, or from an unexpected fall at home. No matter how it happens, it’s important to seek treatment quickly to prevent further damage or complications.
At Natural Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer same-day appointments for dental emergencies, ensuring that you don’t have to wait for relief. We know that dental pain can be excruciating and that any kind of dental issue, big or small, can disrupt your day. That’s why we make it a priority to see emergency patients as soon as possible.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but calling ahead is the best way to ensure we can prepare for your arrival and prioritize your care. This allows us to gather the necessary tools and set up for your treatment, helping us minimize your wait time and provide the best experience possible.
