Can u go to the er for tooth pain?

Bhai, kal raat se mera daant itna dard kar raha hai ki neend bhi nahi aa rahi. Dentist ki clinic toh subah hi khulegi. Soch raha tha ki emergency mein ja sakte hain kya tooth pain ke liye?

Honestly, if the pain is too much, please go to the nearest hospital. I always get so anxious about dental infections spreading to the jaw or brain. Even if they just give a strong painkiller, it will at least help you get through the night without losing your mind.

Yes, you can absolutely go. If you have severe swelling on your cheek, a high fever, or trouble swallowing, don't wait till morning, just run to the casualty ward. They will give you some safe anti-inflammatory meds or antibiotics to stabilize you until you see a proper dentist.

I totally get it, toothache is literally the worst kind of torture. It just doesn't let you sleep or eat. If it's middle of the night and you can't bear it, ER is your best bet to get some immediate relief.

Beta, in my life I have seen many people suffer silently thinking ER is only for accidents. If the pain is making you dizzy and normal pills aren't working, please go to the emergency room. No point suffering the whole night, your health comes first.

I went to Max Hospital last year for a sudden severe tooth pain at 3 AM. They have dental residents on call who can check it right away. Just ask the ER doc clearly what temporary meds they are giving so you can update your regular dentist the next day.
