Estimate only. The exact quote is confirmed after your examination, from the same published price list. Educational guide, not a diagnosis.
Rather skip the questions? Send us your X-ray.
WhatsApp a photo of the problem (or your most recent dental X-ray) and one of our dentists will come back with a straightforward assessment and the right next step.
Please note: this checker is an educational guide, not a diagnosis. Only a clinical examination (usually with an X-ray) can confirm what's really going on. Severe throbbing pain or facial swelling? Skip the tool and call +971 4 266 6763. That usually means an active infection that needs same-day care.
How the symptom checker works
No black box: it matches your answers against the symptom patterns our dentists see every day.
You describe the symptom
Five short questions: what's bothering you, since when, how strongly, what sets it off, and when you last saw a dentist. Then an optional step to personalise your result.
We match the pattern
Your combination is compared with the classic symptom pictures (nerve pain, cracks, early decay, gum inflammation), the same first questions we'd ask in the chair.
You get treatment + price
The likely treatment, an urgency level, and the honest range from our published Dubai price list, plus a prewritten WhatsApp message if you want us to take it from there.
What this tool can't do
It can't look inside your tooth. Different problems overlap on purpose: a tooth that reacts to cold could be a small cavity, a hairline crack, or the early stage of a nerve problem, and only an examination with an X-ray separates them.
Think of the checker as a way to walk in informed: it narrows the possibilities and sets honest price expectations, and our dentists confirm the rest in the chair.
Skip the checker and call us if…
- Throbbing pain that wakes you at night. Almost always infection inside the tooth. Every hour counts.
- Swelling in your face, jaw or cheek. The infection is spreading. Same-day territory.
- A tooth knocked out in an accident. The first hour decides if it can be saved. See our emergency page and call on the way.
- Bleeding that won't stop after an extraction. Call +971 4 266 6763 immediately.
Symptom Checker Questions, Answered
Is this a medical diagnosis?01
No. It's an educational guide that points you in the most likely direction. A real diagnosis needs a clinical examination and usually an X-ray, and every treatment decision at Mint Dental Care is made by a DHA-licensed dentist after seeing you in person.
Are my answers stored or sent anywhere?02
Nothing leaves your browser. The tool runs entirely on this page, and the clinic only sees your answers if you choose to tap the WhatsApp button at the end. The message is pre-written so you can review it before sending.
I have more than one problem, what do I pick?03
Choose the one that troubles you most right now. When you visit, our dentists examine your whole mouth anyway, so anything else going on gets picked up and discussed in the same appointment.
Where do the prices come from?04
Straight from our published price list, the same one on our dental service prices page. The checker shows the range for the treatment it suggests; your exact figure is confirmed after the examination, with no hidden extras.
When should I not use the checker at all?05
Severe pain that disturbs sleep, facial or jaw swelling, a knocked-out tooth, or heavy bleeding all need immediate attention. Skip the questions and call +971 4 266 6763 so we can arrange same-day care.
Why does my tooth hurt when I bite down?06
Sharp, well-located pain on biting usually means a crack or a failing filling, while a dull throb that builds is more typical of decay reaching the nerve or an abscess. The two need different treatments, which is why bite pain always earns an examination with an X-ray rather than guesswork.
Why is my tooth sensitive to hot and cold?07
Sensitivity means the softer layer under your enamel has been exposed, usually by receding gums, worn enamel or early decay. A useful home test: if the zing disappears within a couple of seconds, it's likely surface-level; if the pain lingers after the trigger is gone, the nerve is probably involved and needs prompt attention.
Can a toothache go away on its own?08
Mild sensitivity sometimes settles, but a genuine toothache almost never fixes itself: cavities keep growing and infections keep spreading. Be especially careful if strong pain suddenly stops. That can mean the nerve has died, and the infection is still there, quietly working towards an abscess.
