Toothache in Lviv: when to book, when to call

Search will not diagnose you. It only hints how soon you need to be in the chair.

“Toothache Lviv” is one of the most common night searches. Causes differ: decay, pulpitis, a crack, a wisdom tooth, pain after a filling. Below — how to tell “book the next slot” from “call now”. This is not a self-diagnosis.

Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a treatment plan. The dentist names the cause and the fee after an exam. Severe pain, facial swelling, or bleeding that will not stop — call; do not wait for an online slot.

When an online booking is enough

A dull ache to sweet or cold that fades in seconds, with no swelling and no fever — a typical reason to see a therapist. A one-surface filling here is about UAH 2,250; if it has reached the canal, primary treatment of a single-canal tooth is about UAH 1,650. That is not an invoice and not a reason to treat “from a messenger photo”.

When you should call today

Night pain that painkillers do not touch, swelling of the cheek or gums, fever, trauma, bleeding that will not stop. An online slot for the day after tomorrow is not a plan. The clinic number is in the header; at night, the city’s duty dentist if we are already closed.

What not to do at home

Do not heat the cheek, do not put aspirin on the gum, do not ask for “an antibiotic just in case” without an exam. Antibiotics do not treat decay and do not replace opening a canal. Rinsing does not cancel the visit; it only eases discomfort a little.

What happens at the visit

Exam, radiograph, a talk about the chance of keeping the tooth. Then a filling, canals, or extraction. If the tooth can still be saved, an implant is not the first step. If it cannot, we discuss extraction separately — no surprise in the chair.

Questions people google at 2 a.m.

Can I wait until morning?

If the pain is bearable and there is no swelling or fever — yes, book a morning slot. If the cheek is swelling or you cannot open your mouth — do not wait.

Why can it still hurt after a filling?

A few days of sensitivity happen. Rising night pain a week later is a reason not to “tough it out” but to show the tooth. Sometimes the decay was deeper than it looked at filling time.

Is it always a root canal?

No. Often a filling is enough. Canals are when infection is already in the pulp. That shows on a radiograph and during the exam, not from a chat description of the pain.

How much is “just a look”?

A therapist consultation is about UAH 750. Treatment is a separate line after the plan. We do not start drilling “as we go” without naming the scope.
