What should I do about a toothache in Weltevreden Park?
A toothache is pain or sensitivity in or around a tooth. It may be linked to decay, a crack, a damaged filling, gum problems or infection, so the cause cannot be confirmed from symptoms alone. Contact the practice to arrange an assessment, and describe where the pain is, when it began and what makes it worse.
Until you are seen, keep the area clean and avoid foods or drinks that trigger the pain. Do not place aspirin or other medication directly on the tooth or gum. If you have facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek urgent medical care; we assess dental problems in person during practice hours.
How does a toothache appointment work?
Dr Chalita le Roux will ask about your symptoms and dental history, examine the affected area and, where appropriate, use imaging to help assess the tooth. The findings help distinguish issues such as decay, a fracture or inflammation. Dr le Roux graduated BChD cum laude from the University of Pretoria in 2020 and is a member of SAAAD.
You will hear what the assessment suggests, what treatment may be suitable and what the risks and alternatives are. The right approach depends on the tooth and your health; we assess this in person rather than recommending treatment based on a description alone. Dr le Roux provides personalised care from the initial assessment through the agreed treatment.
What treatments might relieve toothache?
Treatment depends on the cause and how much of the tooth is affected. Options may include repairing a filling, treating decay, protecting a weakened tooth with a crown, or discussing root canal treatment or removal when clinically indicated. Pain relief alone may not address the underlying problem, so an examination is important even if symptoms settle.
The practice uses digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM technology. Many suitable crowns or veneers can be designed and made in a single visit, where clinically suitable. This can mean less time away from work and fewer trips, but not every tooth or case is appropriate for same-day treatment; we assess this in person.
How much does toothache treatment cost?
The cost depends on what is causing the pain and the treatment needed. Factors can include the materials used, any laboratory work, the number of teeth involved and the complexity of the procedure. A consultation is needed to establish which options are appropriate for your tooth.
As a general guide, an assessment or straightforward repair may fall into a lower relative tier ($), while treatment involving more steps or materials may be moderate ($$) or higher ($$$). These tiers are not quotes. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see a dentist for a toothache near Weltevreden Park?
Yes. Dr Chalita le Roux Inc is in Amorosa, Roodepoort, a short drive from Weltevreden Park via Hendrik Potgieter Road and near Clearwater Mall. Contact the practice to arrange an appointment and explain your symptoms. The practice treats patients Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. We assess tooth pain in person because the cause and suitable treatment depend on examination.
What causes a toothache?
Tooth pain can be caused by decay, a cracked tooth, a damaged filling, gum problems, infection or sensitivity. Pain may be sharp, dull, constant or triggered by hot, cold or sweet foods, but symptoms alone do not confirm the cause. An examination, and sometimes imaging, helps assess what is happening. We assess this in person and explain suitable next steps based on the findings.
Should I book an appointment if my toothache goes away?
It is sensible to arrange an assessment if you have had unexplained tooth pain, even if it settles. Symptoms can ease while the underlying cause remains, and only an examination can help determine whether treatment is needed. Tell the dentist when the pain occurred and what seemed to trigger it. We assess this in person and discuss whether monitoring or treatment is appropriate.
What can I do at home while waiting for my appointment?
Keep your teeth clean and avoid foods or drinks that trigger the pain. Do not put aspirin or other medication directly on the tooth or gum, as this can injure the tissue. If you are considering pain relief, follow the product directions and ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional if you are unsure whether it is suitable for you. Seek urgent medical care for facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing.
Will I need a filling, crown or root canal treatment?
That depends on the cause of the pain and how much of the tooth is affected. A filling may be suitable for some areas of decay, while a weakened tooth may need a crown; root canal treatment may be discussed if the inner tissue is affected. Other options may be considered depending on the findings. Dr le Roux examines the tooth and explains suitable options, risks and aftercare before you decide.
Can a crown be made in one visit?
Many suitable crowns can be completed in a single visit using the practice’s digital scanning and CEREC CAD/CAM workflow. This may reduce repeat trips and time away from work. Same-day treatment is not suitable for every tooth or situation, and the decision depends on the examination and treatment plan. We assess this in person and explain the expected process before treatment begins.
How much does a toothache appointment or treatment cost?
The cost depends on the cause, complexity, materials, any laboratory work and how many teeth need care. A consultation is needed to identify suitable options; relative cost tiers may range from $ to $$$ depending on what is involved. These tiers are not a quote. An exact, personalised estimate is given after the consultation, in writing, before any treatment starts.
When can I book, and when does the practice treat patients?
The practice treats patients Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. You can make a booking 24 hours a day through the WhatsApp booking assistant, but treatment is provided during practice hours. If you have facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a dental appointment. Contact the practice to discuss your symptoms and arrange a suitable visit.
