A toothache that keeps you awake or makes it hard to eat is reason enough to be seen today. Call (863) 555-0170 and our office in Winter Haven holds you a same-day time, Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM. We find the cause, treat it, and you leave with the pain handled.
The $70 is a minimum fee for patients paying without insurance. It covers a limited, problem-focused emergency exam (ADA code D0140) and the X-ray needed to diagnose the tooth. Treatment is priced separately and quoted to you in writing before any work starts.

Signs you need toothache relief today
Mild sensitivity to cold that passes in a second or two can wait for a regular checkup. These can't:
- Pain that throbs, pulses or keeps you from sleeping
- A tooth that hurts when you bite down or release
- Pain that lingers for minutes after hot or cold
- Swelling of the gum, cheek or jaw on the side that hurts
- A bad taste or a bump on the gum near the tooth
- Pain that started after a crack, a chip or a lost filling
- Any toothache with fever, or one so strong that over-the-counter medicine barely touches it
Swelling that closes your eye, spreads under your jaw, or makes swallowing or breathing hard belongs in an emergency room first. Call us after.
What happens at your same-day visit
Toothaches come from several different problems that feel similar from the inside: deep decay, a cracked tooth, an infected nerve, an abscess, a wisdom tooth pushing through, or gum infection around a tooth. Our dentist examines the tooth, tests it, and takes an X-ray to see what's going on below the surface.
Then you hear what's causing the pain and what fixing it would cost, in writing. Most causes can be treated the same day: a filling for a cavity, a root canal for an infected nerve, draining and antibiotics for an abscess, or an extraction for a tooth that can't be saved. Whatever it is, the tooth is numbed first and you're comfortable before any work begins.
Cost of toothache treatment in Winter Haven
For patients paying without insurance, the exam and X-ray are $70. That's the cost of finding out what's wrong. Treatment is priced separately according to what the X-ray shows, and our dentist writes the figure down before starting. Most PPO dental plans and several Medicare Advantage plans are accepted, and Cherry and CareCredit financing are available. The cost and insurance page explains the process.
Why patients choose our Winter Haven office
Because the phone is answered at any hour by a real person, and because we open at 8:00 AM. A toothache that started at bedtime doesn't have to wait until mid-morning. Diagnosis and treatment happen in the same office at the same visit, with the same dentist. Our staff speak Spanish during office hours.

Frequently asked questions
What can I do for a toothache tonight before I can be seen?
Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen as the package directs, rinse with warm salt water, sleep with your head propped up, and keep cold and heat away from the tooth. Don't put aspirin on the gum. Then call (863) 555-0170; the answering service holds you the first slot at 8:00 AM.
Will you actually treat the tooth at the first visit, or just look at it?
We treat it whenever the diagnosis allows, which is most of the time. The exam and X-ray come first because the treatment depends on the cause, and you approve the written price before anything begins.
Why does my toothache come and go?
Pain that flares and settles often means a nerve that is inflamed but not yet dead, or a crack that opens when you bite. Both get worse, not better, with time. Pain that disappears completely after weeks of hurting can mean the nerve has died, which is a step toward an abscess rather than a recovery.
Can a sinus infection feel like a toothache?
Yes, especially in the upper back teeth, whose roots sit close to the sinus. Sinus pain usually affects several teeth at once and changes when you bend forward. Our dentist can tell the difference with an exam and X-ray, so you don't treat a tooth that isn't the problem.
