Tooth pain in Sutherland
Need a dentist for a sore tooth?
A tooth that hurts when you bite or wakes you at night is worth a call. Tell our Sutherland reception team what you’re feeling and when it started. We’ll check the next available appointment.
When to get urgent help
If you’re struggling to breathe, call 000. Swelling around the eye or neck also needs emergency medical care.
What to tell reception
Where does it hurt?
Tell us which side is sore and whether it’s one tooth or a wider area. If you’re unsure which tooth it is, just describe where you feel it.
When did it start?
Does it come and go, linger after a cold drink or hurt when you chew? Mention any swelling, a broken tooth or a recent knock.
What happens at the appointment?
The dentist will ask about the pain, examine your teeth and gums and explain whether an X-ray would help. You can ask what can be done at this visit, what might need another appointment and what each option will cost.
