General Dentistry

Toothaches are an important sign that something went wrong. Causes of toothaches include tooth decay, abscessed teeth, broken teeth, infected gums or damaged fillings.

To stop a toothache, our dentist removes any present infection or decay and repairs the damage to protect exposed sensitive areas. We often prescribe pain medications to reduce the pain. Sometimes extraction of the tooth will be the final option for treatment if the tooth or surrounding gum and bone are too damaged.

To find out for sure and to get treatment, call us to arrange an exam. By acting promptly, you may save a tooth and prevent a condition from worsening. You’ll have a better chance of moving back to pain-free living faster!
