Why Tooth Pain Should Not Always Be Treated With Painkillers Toothache can sometimes feel temporary, especially when it improves after taking a pain reliever. However, pain relief does not necessarily mean that the underlying dental problem has disappeared. Deep tooth decay, cracks, trauma or infection can affect the inner pulp of a tooth. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, symptoms may include persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods, pain while chewing or swelling around the tooth. A Root Canal Specialist in Aurangabad can assess whether the tooth can be preserved through root canal treatment or whether another approach is more appropriate. Root canal treatment generally involves removing infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them to help prevent further infection. Dr. Smita Shinde has clinical experience in endodontic care and root canal treatment. A proper evaluation helps determine whether the symptoms are related to the nerve of the tooth or another dental condition. Not every toothache requires a root canal. The treatment decision depends on the clinical findings, symptoms and diagnostic evaluation. Seeking professional dental advice when pain persists can help identify the cause early and support appropriate treatment planning. 2 days ago Call now
