What Should I Do If A Toothache Is Interfering With My Dental Function?
If you are afraid to place biting or chewing pressure on a tooth because of pain, you should know that the pain you are ignoring could be warning you about an infection. A tooth infection that develops in your pulp can grow progressively worse, and if too much time passes without care the only solution left can be a tooth extraction. Your dentist can work with you to provide the most conservative treatment option capable of restoring your oral health.
Your Persistent Jaw Pain Could Be Connected To TMJ Dysfunction
If you continue to feel pain in your jaw while you eat, or speak, the problem could be connected to TMJ dysfunction. A special oral appliance can help you relieve this discomfort, as well as any related issues that cause you to suffer headaches, or discomfort in your face and neck.
