Tooth pain can feel unbearable. We see emergency patients the same day to find the cause and stop your pain fast.
Call Now: 203-865-1480The type of pain you feel can help identify the cause. Here are the most common patterns and what they typically indicate.
Often indicates a crack in the tooth or a loose filling. The pain is typically brief but intense when pressure is applied and released.
Likely caused by an infection or deep decay that has reached the nerve. This type of pain often worsens at night and may be accompanied by swelling.
Can result from exposed dentin, gum recession, or early decay. Brief sensitivity is common, but lingering pain after the stimulus is removed suggests nerve involvement.
Some sensitivity after fillings, crowns, or other procedures is normal for 1-2 weeks. Call your dentist if the pain is worsening rather than improving.
Could indicate an infection spreading beyond the tooth, or a TMJ disorder. Pain that radiates to the ear, temple, or down the neck needs prompt evaluation.
May signal early decay, a developing crack, or bruxism (teeth grinding). Intermittent pain often progresses to constant pain if left untreated.

My wisdom tooth chipped and gave me extreme pain on Friday night. I couldn't find a dental office willing to take me on Saturday. Sunday Morning I couldn't take the pain as it escalated to my jaw and though out other teeth. After searching on google I found this was the ONLY dental office that was open on a Sunday and takes walk-ins. The wait time was minimal and the young lady at the front desk was so understanding and helpful. The tech who took photos of my teeth was patient and Dr. Yanatan Zakinov was the best dentist I've ever met. He was straightforward, honest, and didn't try to talk about anything else but the problem I was having. He looked at my teeth and knew right away an extraction of my wisdom tooth had to be done. He was careful to make sure there was no pain and kept insisting that I let him know if I feel any pain. Within 20 minutes of seeing him, my tooth was extracted and my pain was gone. I 100% recommend going there and I'm looking forward to my future appointments with them.
Nicest people in the world and Dr Shande took care of me like aces!!
The team at Divine Smiles are excellent very happy with my new dentures knew exactly what to do
I received the best and most professional dental care I have ever received in my life and after I went home he kept asking me how I was and how I was feeling.
En Divine Smiles la experiencia fue extraordinaria desde la atención que me brindaron hasta el trabajo que realizaron salí con una gran sonrisa y muy contenta con el Doctor y sobre todo con Michael ambos excelentes profesionales
A good dental office. My dentist spent the time to explain my treatment and took the time to make sure I didn't feel any pain. Office is clean and staff are good.
Micheal is very nice and sharp
Dr Zhande did good job. Very price nice ,
Good man does good work , placed implant on front tooth and repaired bad tooth nobody else would
Today I visited Olga and the Dr.Badalov on Friday with the oral surgery who removed my wisdom tooth amazing job!
Dr Z was great, extracted my tooth in about 5 minutes
The girl at the front was super nice and so were the assistants
The wait was longer but they were very busy
Would definitely recommend if you are having a painful emergency
Doctor Jacob and Mariana are very amazing Kind understanding and very, very patient workers. They talk to me through all the steps before evening, touching my mouth Reassured me everything is going to be fine even with my big fear of dentist
I was a walk in emergency appointment on a Sunday morning and ended up needing two teeth extracted. I also happen to have anxiety surrounding dental visits so I was unsure of what to expect (I was here from out of town). Dr. Jacob was very understanding and gentle with the procedure. He took time to discuss options with me and did not push for anything extra or unnecessary. If I lived locally I would have gladly continued on with them as my primary dental care providers.
Like other reviews I had a similar experience. I was in a lot of pain, in need of an extraction. Divine Dental got me in within an hour after I called. Dr. Alex broke things down simply and was kind; As well as his assistant. This will be my new dental office. Thanks to everyone who helped today, from the front desk to the x-ray tech. You all made a difficult time a little easier to manage.
I really appreciate the people that work at this Dental office. Everyone is professional and friendly. Dr Z is a real specialist, he did my Extraction and I didn't feel a thing, thank you
Your toothache could be caused by any of these dental conditions.
