Will a Toothache Go Away with No
Treatment?

Contrary to what you might have heard, an occasional toothache isn’t normal. It’s a symptom of an untreated dental problem, like a cavity or an infection. A toothache won’t go away without any treatment. It will probably get worse as decay or an infection reaches the inner layer of your tooth. Only a root canal can stop the pain if your pulp becomes inflamed or infected. If your toothache goes away suddenly, it can be a sign that your tooth has died and will need to be removed. Don’t let a small issue turn into a big problem. Schedule an appointment with an emergency dentist to stop your pain and save your tooth.

Do I Need to See a Dentist If My Chipped Tooth Doesn’t Hurt?

Not all chipped teeth hurt, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to see a dentist. Your tooth can be vulnerable to bacteria, sensitivity, and additional damage. It’s best to contact an emergency dentist for an appointment. If the damage is minor and you aren’t having any pain, you can wait a day or two to see your dentist, but don’t put treatment off for too long.

Will a Chipped Tooth Heal?

Your enamel can’t regenerate, which is why a chipped tooth is a dental emergency in Fort Worth. At most, your tooth can remineralize, but your tooth won’t grow back. Depending on the extent of the damage, your dentist can fix your tooth with dental bonding or a veneer. A larger break can require a dental crown to treat.

Is a Broken Denture a Dental Emergency?

You can’t go without any teeth; therefore, a broken denture is a dental emergency. Don’t continue to wear it because it can injure your mouth or cause more damage. Instead, wear an old denture, if possible. Never use superglue or other adhesives to repair your dentures because they can contain toxic chemicals or cause allergic reactions. It’s better to leave the mending for professionals. We will get you into the office for the necessary repairs or replacements.

Does My Dental Insurance Cover Dental Emergencies?

Every policy and situation differs, but most dental plans offer emergency coverage. Your benefits may include your consultation, X-rays, or diagnostic services. Your insurance may pay some of the expenses for medically necessary treatments after meeting your deductible, like dental bonding, crowns, or root canals. We will work on your behalf with your dental insurance to maximize your coverage. You can pay any out-of-pocket expenses with third-party financing, like CareCredit.
