Toothache ranges from a dull, nagging ache to a sharp, severe pain that makes it impossible to concentrate on anything else. The cause isn't always obvious from the outside, which is why a proper examination — including X-rays if needed — is essential. We keep same-day appointments available for patients in pain.
You might have this if you notice
- ✓Persistent throbbing or sharp pain in a tooth or jaw
- ✓Pain that worsens when biting or applying pressure
- ✓Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers for more than a few seconds
- ✓Swelling in the gum or cheek near the affected area
- ✓Pain that wakes you at night
How we can help
We offer several treatments depending on your situation — we'll recommend the right one at your appointment.
Dental Fillings
If decay is the cause of your toothache, removing the decayed tissue and placing a filling usually resolves the pain completely.
Learn more →Root Canal Treatment
When the nerve inside the tooth is infected or inflamed, root canal treatment removes the source of pain and saves the tooth.
Learn more →Tooth Extraction
Occasionally extraction is the right answer — particularly for heavily broken-down teeth or impacted wisdom teeth causing persistent pain.
Learn more →Emergency Care
If you're in severe pain, contact us for a same-day emergency appointment. We'll assess, diagnose and begin treatment as quickly as possible.

Calm and relaxed atmosphere right from the door. Friendly receptionist and a warm welcome from Geeta the dentist. Put my mind at rest straightaway about procedures and practices at the surgery. Geeta explained everything in detail after an examination of my teeth that was probably the most explorative check I've ever had in all my years. No hard sell and a genuine authentic explanation of my teeth (and related oral health). High tech equipment and no uncomfortable processes to map teeth and gums. In my views this is a totally professional service that's almost worth looking forward to.
Form is everything that a dental practice should be! I was nervous before attending but Laura and Andrea were professional and kind and put me at ease. Highly recommended!
This is hands down the best dentist I have ever visited in my life. It's like being at a 5 star resort/spa. They take a great deal of care ensuring the patient understands the rationale behind the treatment plan and procedures. Their equipment is state of the art and the team working there are simply great. I am so happy to have come across this dental practice.
Wonderful experience at Form Dental from start to finish. Welcoming receptionist in a calm, tranquil environment, followed by the most informative, caring yet professional hygienist appointment with Teresa, that I have ever experienced. So attentive to individual needs and concerns, including demonstration of correct flossing and brushing techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Recently found this dentist and from walking in the welcome, the service and as you are leaving all is 10 out of 10. Gita (Dentist) is by far the best I have come across, takes time to explain all you need to know and with genuine care, and of course Andrea (assistant) also top notch. Together they are number one in the business. Highly recommend
So impressed with my friendly, knowledgeable dentist and the helpful and thorough appointment - lots of great advice. A beautiful clinic with great equipment and, best of all, they were brilliant with my 2 year old and even put tractors on the TV to make him feel welcome. Thank you so much!
