Toothache Aurora
Toothaches can be a real pain but we’re here to help!
There could be several causes for your toothache and the pain can vary from mild to severe. Some of the reasons for your toothache may be remedied at home but most require the help of a dentist. Some common problems include:
Missing or Dislodged Tooth
A missing or dislodged tooth can be a scary time but in some cases it’s fixable and we’re here to help you manage the pain. The best thing to do if your tooth has been knocked out or dislodged is to place it back in the socket until you can visit your dentist. Make sure to rinse your mouth, washing away blood and other harmful particles. If you cannot fit the tooth back into the socket, store it in warm milk, saline, or your own saliva. When handling the tooth, take it by the crown and not the root. Visit your dentist or an emergency room as soon as possible.
Fractured or Broken Tooth
After rinsing your broken tooth with warm water, apply ice to your cheek on the affected side to reduce swelling and sensitivity. Over the counter pain medication may be used to control the pain or discomfort. Visit your dentist as soon as possible. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the break but your dentist will work with you to develop a custom treatment plan to get your smile back in no time!
Managing Tooth Pain at Home
Minor discomfort and tooth pain can sometimes be remedied at home and may be the result of foreign particles that have been stuck between teeth or gums. It is best to rinse your mouth thoroughly and avoid placing pain medication right on the affected area. If the pain persists, don’t hesitate to contact us and we will fit you in as soon as we can!

Krystal D.Google Review
Originally from Michigan, Dr. Hardenbergh has lived across the Midwest and Southeast, and is excited to make Colorado his new home. Prior to enrolling at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine, he worked as an actuary. This background gives him a unique perspective and understanding of the business side of dentistry.
Dr. Hardenbergh comes from a family of dentists, with three generations of experience in the field. He is passionate about providing personalized, high quality care to all patients and is committed to continuing the tradition of excellence that Meadow Hills Dental is known for.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Hardenbergh enjoys golfing and spending time with his growing family.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Hardenbergh to the Meadow Hills Dental team. We are confident that he will be a valuable asset to our practice and we look forward to introducing him to you at your next visit.
A Warm Welcome

Our state-of-the-art office features Hulu and XfinityTV for your comfort and enjoyment. We are committed to providing expert dental care while maintaining the comfort and satisfaction of our patients.
Your First Visit
When you arrive for your first visit, our staff will take a new set of x-rays to aid Dr. Hardenbergh in his examination. We use digital x-rays that reduce radiation exposure by nearly 90 percent, as compared to traditional x-rays. Dr. Hardenbergh will then conduct his examination, looking for areas of tooth decay and other oral issues. Dr. Hardenbergh also practices cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics in Aurora, CO, so please let us know if there are any improvements you would like to make to your smile. Many patients are able to receive dental cleanings with our hygienist immediately following their exam.

Additional Information About Toothache Treatment in Aurora
Toothaches can be debilitating, affecting one’s ability to eat, speak, and go about one’s daily activities. If you are suffering from a toothache in Aurora, it’s important to seek prompt care to address the underlying issue and alleviate your pain. Our practice is dedicated to providing effective toothache relief and restoring one’s oral health.
Common Causes of Toothaches
Toothaches can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Tooth Decay: Cavities are one of the most common causes of toothaches. When decay reaches the tooth’s inner layers, it can cause significant pain.
- Gum Disease: Infections in the gums can lead to tooth pain and sensitivity.
- Tooth Abscess: An abscessed tooth, or a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, can cause severe toothache.
- Tooth Fracture: A cracked or fractured tooth can result in pain, especially when chewing or exposed to hot and cold temperatures.
- Teeth Grinding: Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) can wear down the enamel and cause tooth pain.
Symptoms of Toothaches
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have a toothache that requires attention:
- Sharp or Throbbing Pain: Constant or intermittent pain in the affected tooth.
- Sensitivity: Discomfort when exposed to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks.
- Swelling: Swelling around the tooth or in the jaw.
- Headache or Fever: Associated symptoms that can occur with severe infections.
- Bad Taste or Odor: Unpleasant taste or smell from an infected tooth.
Treatment Options for Toothaches
Our practice in Aurora offers a range of treatments to address toothaches and their underlying causes:
- Fillings: For cavities causing tooth pain, we remove the decay and fill the cavity to restore the tooth’s structure.
- Root Canal Therapy: If the toothache is due to an infected or damaged pulp, a root canal can save the tooth and alleviate pain.
- Tooth Extraction: In cases where the tooth cannot be saved, extraction may be necessary to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
- Gum Treatment: For toothaches caused by gum disease, we provide treatments to reduce infection and inflammation.
- Night Guards: To address pain from teeth grinding, custom-fitted night guards can protect your teeth and alleviate symptoms.

While some mild toothaches may subside temporarily, it is important to seek professional care to address the underlying cause and prevent further complications.
