What is the most common dental emergency?
The most common concerns patients see us for are toothaches — that’s because pain is your body’s way of signaling something isn’t right! Under the surface, you may be dealing with decay, gum disease, cracked or worn teeth, or an abscess. We also often help those who have lost or broken a tooth.
What are the signs of an infected tooth?
A few common symptoms of a tooth infection include:
– Throbbing toothache
– Lingering tooth sensitivity
– Sore and sensitive jawbone
– Sensitivity to hot and cold
– Pain or tingling when biting
Will my tooth need to be pulled?
Not necessarily. Our dentists will conduct a thorough examination and diagnosis to evaluate the best course of action — whether that’s a filling, crown, root canal, gum disease treatment, or something else!
Will a toothache go away on its own?
If you’re feeling uncomfortable, you should always visit a professional…even if the pain goes away after a few days, It’s likely there’s an issue hidden under the surface and the pain will return even worse than before.
