What should I do about a toothache in Constantia Kloof?
A toothache is pain or sensitivity in or around a tooth. It may be triggered by hot or cold food, biting, sweets, or pressure, and can range from a brief twinge to persistent discomfort. Causes include tooth decay, a cracked tooth, a damaged filling, gum inflammation or infection. The symptoms alone cannot confirm which problem is present, so we assess this in person.
Contact Dr Chalita le Roux Inc in Roodepoort to request an appointment and describe your symptoms, including when they began and what makes them worse. Until you are seen, avoid chewing on the sore side and keep the area clean with gentle brushing. Do not put aspirin or other tablets directly on the tooth or gum.

From Constantia Kloof, head towards Clearwater Mall and continue to Amorosa Office Park. The trip is roughly a few kilometres, though the distance and travel time depend on your starting point, route and traffic. Check your route before setting off.
Being close by can make it easier to arrange an assessment without travelling across Johannesburg. Dr Chalita le Roux provides personalised care from consultation through treatment planning, so you can discuss your symptoms and options directly with the dentist.
What happens at a toothache appointment?
Dr Chalita le Roux will ask about the pain, your dental history and any changes you have noticed. She will examine the affected area and may recommend diagnostic imaging if it is appropriate. The assessment helps identify whether the problem involves decay, a crack, a filling, the gums or another cause. We assess this in person before recommending a course of care.
Treatment depends on the findings and may involve monitoring, a filling, a crown, root canal treatment, gum care or another approach. Each option has potential benefits and risks, which the dentist will explain in relation to your tooth. If urgent symptoms suggest a spreading infection or another serious problem, contact the practice promptly for guidance.
Can digital dentistry reduce repeat visits for a crown?
Where a tooth needs a crown or veneer, digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology can support a same-day workflow. Many suitable restorations can be designed and made in a single visit, which may mean less time away from work and fewer trips to the practice. Whether this approach is suitable depends on the tooth, the restoration required and the clinical findings.
A toothache does not automatically mean you need a crown or veneer. Dr Chalita le Roux will first assess the cause and explain the options. The practice focuses on personalised care from one dentist from start to finish, with the plan based on your needs and the condition of the tooth.
What can I do while I wait, and when is toothache urgent?
Keep brushing gently and avoid foods or drinks that trigger the pain. Choose softer foods and chew on the other side if that is comfortable. A pharmacist can advise whether an over-the-counter pain reliever is suitable for you; follow its label and consider your health conditions and other medicines. These steps may help you manage discomfort, but they do not treat the underlying cause.
Seek prompt dental advice if pain is severe, persistent or worsening, or if you notice swelling, fever, a bad taste or difficulty opening your mouth. Facial or neck swelling, trouble swallowing or breathing, or feeling seriously unwell needs urgent medical attention. After treatment, follow the dentist’s instructions and contact the practice if symptoms worsen or you have concerns.

What causes a constant toothache?
Persistent tooth pain may be related to decay, a crack, a damaged filling, gum problems or infection, among other causes. Pain that continues or worsens should be assessed rather than managed only at home. Dr Chalita le Roux will ask about your symptoms and examine the area; imaging may be recommended if appropriate. We assess this in person before discussing treatment.
Should I book an appointment if my tooth only hurts when I eat?
Pain when biting or eating can be associated with decay, a crack, a loose or damaged filling, or other dental problems. Avoid chewing on that side if it triggers discomfort and arrange an assessment, particularly if the pain persists or worsens. The symptom does not identify the cause by itself, so Dr Chalita le Roux will examine the tooth and explain suitable next steps.
What can I do for toothache before my appointment?
Keep the area clean with gentle brushing, avoid foods and drinks that trigger pain, and chew on the other side if comfortable. Ask a pharmacist whether an over-the-counter pain reliever is suitable for you, and follow its label. Do not place tablets directly on the tooth or gum. These measures may ease discomfort but do not replace an examination or treat the cause.
When should toothache be treated as urgent?
Contact a dentist promptly for severe, persistent or worsening pain, or if you have swelling, fever, a bad taste or difficulty opening your mouth.
