FAQs about pediatric toothaches
What causes tooth pain in children?
Common causes include cavities, dental injuries, infections, and gum inflammation. Sometimes, new teeth erupting can also cause temporary discomfort.

Persistent or intense pain, swelling, or sensitivity to touch could indicate a cavity, infection, or other dental issue that needs prompt attention.
Can children’s toothaches go away without treatment?
Mild pain might improve, but untreated toothaches often worsen and can lead to serious oral health problems. It’s best to consult a Charlottesville pediatric tooth pain dentist.
What can I do to ease my child’s toothache at home?
Try rinsing with warm salt water, offering soft foods, or using a cold compress on the cheek. Still, professional care is essential for lasting relief.
