At our office near Union Square, we deliver personalized treatments that fit your unique experience.

Don’t Let Pain Linger

Pain often creeps up on you. You may have been dismissing your toothaches or jaw discomfort for a while now. However, teeth shouldn’t hurt, so don’t keep putting off getting checked out! As with any health issue, waiting increases the risk of complications. It can also drive up the cost of care, as you may need more procedures to get you out of pain.

Our dentist will perform a thorough examination and may also take x-rays or digital scans to get a better look at your teeth and jawbone. Armed with accurate, state-of-the-art images of your oral health, we can identify the cause of your pain and plan treatment just for you.

Severe Jaw and Tooth Pain? Get a Same-Day Appointment

Maybe your discomfort didn’t creep up on you but came on suddenly. Or perhaps you’ve waited so long to come to our NYC dentist office that you’ve now reached an unbearable level of pain. Moreover, if you’re experiencing pain combined with other symptoms like fever, swelling, or bleeding, you need help now, not at an appointment days or weeks from now. That’s why Village Dental offers same-day emergency dentistry. Pain can be an urgent dental matter, so don’t undersell what you’re experiencing.

Causes and Treatment for Tooth and Jaw Pain

Tooth and jaw pain can have a variety of causes. Fortunately, Village Dental is equipped to provide a variety of solutions.

Tooth Sensitivity: When your protective enamel wears down, the sensitive nerves underneath are exposed. We offer product recommendations and oral care tips.
Dental Decay: Ever wonder how cavities form? Bacteria in your mouth produce acids that eat away at enamel. Dental fillings skillfully performed by our NYC dentists can provide relief.
Tooth Fractures: A crack or chip in your tooth often presents as pain when you put pressure on it when biting. Cracked tooth repair prevents the problem from getting worse.
Gum Disease: Caused by plaque and tartar buildup, this disease creates tooth pain, jaw pain, and discomfort. Our gum disease dentist can perform scaling and root planing to clear out inflammation and prevent it from coming back.
Dental Abscess: This is a pocket of pus in the tooth or gums, usually from a bacterial infection. Abscesses spell trouble, threatening tooth loss and even systemic infections. If necessary, we’ll perform a gentle tooth extraction.
Bruxism: This is when you grind or clench your teeth. Bruxism often occurs while you sleep or during times of stress, so we create custom night guards to protect your teeth and jaw.
TMJ/TMD: Temporomandibular joint disorder is known to cause jaw pain, but you can also experience pain in your teeth, face, and ears. Night guards as well as TMJ exercises can help.
