What are common causes of intense dental pain?
Intense dental pain can be caused by various issues. Here are some common causes:
- Cavities: Deep tooth decay can reach the nerve, causing sharp pain.
- Tooth Abscess: An infection at the root of a tooth or between the gum and a tooth can lead to severe, throbbing pain.
- Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause pain, swelling, and bleeding.
- Cracked or Broken Teeth: Damage to a tooth can expose the sensitive inner layers, resulting in pain.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Worn enamel or exposed roots can make teeth extremely sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: When wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to emerge, they can cause pain and pressure.
If you’re experiencing intense dental pain, contact Kathy Zahedi DDS for an appointment. We’re here to diagnose the issue and provide the relief you need.
How can I manage dental pain until I can see a dentist?
Managing dental pain until you can see a dentist involves a few simple steps to help you find relief:
- Rinse with Warm Salt Water: This can help reduce inflammation and cleanse your mouth.
- Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers: Medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can alleviate pain. Follow the dosage instructions carefully.
- Cold Compress: Apply a cold pack to the outside of your cheek for 15-20 minutes to numb the area and reduce swelling.
- Avoid Hard or Chewy Foods: Stick to soft foods to prevent aggravating the pain.
- Keep Your Head Elevated: When lying down, prop your head up with pillows to reduce blood flow to the affected area, which can help decrease pain.
- Floss Gently: If food is stuck between your teeth, carefully floss to remove it without hurting your gums.
Contact Kathy Zahedi DDS as soon as possible for an appointment. We’re here to provide the care you need to get relief from your dental pain.
It's always a pleasure to go to Dr. Kathy Zahedi,s office. The staff is super great and Dr. Zahedi is amazing. Today I had her work on my crowns and the procedure was painless, I didn’t even feel the needle or the removal of the crowns. I was completely comfortable. Dr. Kathy and her dental assistants asked me many times during the procedure if I was comfortable.
I would recommend Dr. Kathy Zahedi, and her staff to any one that asked me.

This is a painless soothing veneer experience. Kathy is indeed exceptional on getting the job done. I have always dream of having big natural smiles and I am thankful I went to her. I am currently getting my veneer done and I love the job Kathy does on my teeth. And I also love the facility and people there for offering a great service. They are so patient so kind and happy there. It’s an incredible experience. I highly recommend Kathy on your veneers. Thank you!! 🌷❤️
I have had the best best best experience with Dr. Zahedi and her team. I visited her after another dentist’s experience caused some major anxiety and fear. She has met me where I’m at emotionally with the deepest empathy, care, and respect. She listens to me, spends time with me, and makes sure I leave her office feeling better than when I arrived. She is like your most caring best friend, your favorite auntie, and the mother you wish you had. She has texted me on her days off to find out how I’m doing and feeling. I will never go to anyone else for my dental needs.
