If the pain in the canine tooth is caused by dental caries, fillings or root canal treatment may be recommended. If the pain is due to periodontitis, periodontal therapy will be performed. If it's pulpitis, root canal treatment or tooth extraction may be necessary. In addition to treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding overly stimulating foods is important to prevent worsening of the pain. If the pain is severe, pain relievers may be used under a doctor's guidance to help alleviate discomfort.
