Tooth & Jaw Pain

Tooth & Jaw Pain Treatment
in North San Antonio

Pain is your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. When that pain shows up in your teeth or jaw, it can affect more than just your mouth, it can disrupt your sleep, your ability to eat, and your overall quality of life.  At Park Hill Dental in Shavano Park, Dr. Joshua Mijares can help you find answers and lasting relief. Whether your discomfort came on suddenly or has been building over time, our team is equipped to assess, diagnose, and treat the cause of your pain with both urgency and care.

What Causes Toothaches?

Tooth pain can range from a dull, throbbing ache to sharp, sudden sensitivity. Either way, it’s a signal that something needs attention. Common causes of toothaches include:

 

  • Cavities (Tooth Decay): One of the most common causes of pain, especially when untreated
  • Cracked or Chipped Teeth: Damage can expose the nerve and lead to sharp discomfort
  • Abscesses or Infections: Infections near the root can cause intense pain and swelling
  • Worn Enamel or Gum Recession: Hard or soft tissue erosion can expose sensitive areas of the tooth
  • Impacted Teeth: Wisdom teeth or crowded molars can press against adjacent teeth, causing pain

 

If you’re experiencing pain when chewing, drinking hot or cold beverages, or lying down at night, don’t ignore it. The Park Hill Dental team can help.
