Tooth Pain
Tooth pain is not always a serious problem unless the sensitivity remains for a long period of time. It may be caused by minor decay, or gum recession that exposes the root. If you are experiencing pain, it’s important to see one of our dentists as soon as possible.
Cracked Teeth
Cracked teeth can exhibit erratic pain when you chew foods to sudden pain when your tooth is exposed to hot or cold. It is important to address cracked teeth as soon as possible, as a dental crown may be needed and can sometimes prevent more costly treatment.
Abscessed Teeth
If your mouth or jaw is aching, this is often the sign that a more serious infection lies underneath the tooth and gum. When the nerve of a tooth dies, it forms an abscess around the tooth. Sometimes antibiotics are needed to get rid of the abscess, but it will reform if the underlying dying nerve is not removed.
