This one surprises a lot of people.
If you’ve had a severe toothache and the pain suddenly disappears, it can be tempting to cancel that dental appointment.
But disappearing pain doesn’t necessarily mean the problem disappeared.
Sometimes changes inside a damaged or infected tooth can cause pain to decrease even though the underlying dental problem still needs attention.
So if you’ve recently experienced:
⚠️ Severe tooth pain
⚠️ Facial or gum swelling
⚠️ Pain when biting
⚠️ A broken tooth
⚠️ Significant hot or cold sensitivity
Don’t use pain alone to decide whether everything is okay.
Let a dentist take a look.
East Orlando Dental offers emergency and same-day appointments when available.
