Toothaches are very common and can be caused by many factors, including cavities, gum disease, cracked teeth or tooth trauma. When you visit us, our dentists will examine your teeth and gums to determine the source of your pain. Depending on the severity of your toothache, we may recommend a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction.
Toothache Relief
A broken or chipped tooth can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as trauma or biting down on something hard, such as ice, nuts or hard candy. A broken or chipped tooth can cause pain or sensitivity, and if left untreated, can lead to further damage or infection. When you visit us, our dentists will evaluate the extent of the damage to your tooth and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
For minor damage, we may use dental bonding to restore the tooth's appearance and function. Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the damaged area of the tooth and shaping it to match your natural tooth. For more extensive damage, we may recommend a dental crown or veneer to provide greater protection and improve the tooth's appearance. A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire tooth, while a veneer is a thin shell that covers only the front surfaces of the tooth. Both crowns and veneers can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, or resin.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
A knocked-out tooth is a serious dental emergency that requires immediate attention. If a tooth is knocked out, it's important to handle it carefully and avoid touching the root. If possible, rinse the tooth with saline or milk and try to reinsert it into the socket in the correct orientation. If you can't reinsert the tooth, place it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it with you to your appointment. Our dentists will evaluate the condition of the tooth and supporting bone and may attempt to re-implant it. Re-implantation is most successful if the tooth is reinserted within 60 minutes of being knocked out. If re-implantation is not possible, we may recommend a dental implant or bridge to replace the missing tooth.
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone and serves as a replacement for the tooth root. A dental bridge is a custom-made appliance that consists of two or more crowns that anchor to the adjacent teeth and a false tooth that fills the gap left by the missing tooth.
Knocked Out Teeth
A dental abscess is a pocket of pus that forms in the gums or in the bone that supports the teeth. It can be caused by an infection or tooth decay. If left untreated, an abscess can lead to serious complications, including tooth loss or spread of the infection to other parts of the body. Our dentists will provide options to treat the infection by removing the source of the infection.
