Toothache - Emergency Dentist in Shepperton, Surrey
There's no need to suffer with toothache pain
Your overall health and wellness begins in your mouth, so when you get a toothache it is your teeth and gums in a plea for attention. Often constant throbbing pain that makes toothaches especially unbearable, is caused by inflammation in the pulp of the tooth (also known as the inside of the tooth). The pulp of each tooth contains nerve endings that are highly sensitive to pain.
