Tooth Pain is a Dental Emergency: Take Action Today
Ignoring tooth pain can allow the problem to worsen, resulting in severe dental issues. Understanding the source of tooth pain is crucial to determining the right treatment needed for you. We will perform a limited examination on you to determine if a tooth extraction is truly what you need.
Tooth pain should always be treated as an emergency. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Infections Can Spread Fast
If tooth pain comes from an infection, like an abscess, it can quickly spread to nearby areas. This could affect your jaw, neck, and even get into your bloodstream, which can lead to a serious condition called sepsis. If you don't treat dental infections, you might end up needing to go to the hospital or have more serious procedures done.
2. Prevent Tooth Loss
Ignoring tooth pain could mean losing the tooth that hurts. If there's a lot of decay, a crack or an infection, it can seriously damage the tooth. Getting help quickly can save your tooth and keep you from needing to have it pulled or getting dental implants.
3. Avoid More Complicated Treatment
Waiting too long to treat tooth pain can lead to more complex and costly procedures later.
While we accept walk-ins, we would greatly appreciate you calling ahead to help us plan so we can see as many patients as needed on the above days.
