There are many things to think about when you’re dealing with tooth pain. In addition to trying to figure out why it’s happening, how to prevent it from happening again, and more, you may find yourself primarily focused on how to make it stop at the moment! Fortunately, when your discomfort is the result of damage, we can fix your teeth with restorative care. If you’re not very familiar with it, you’ll be happy to learn that our treatment selection is a comprehensive one that will help you address your current concern.
A Dental Filling For…
If your tooth pain is the result of a cavity, then you will come in for restorative care in the form of a dental filling. Long story short: We remove the decay and the damaged tissue. We then clean the area, fill it with a tooth-colored material called composite, dry the material, ensure your bite is right, and you’ll go right back to your life.
A Dental Crown If…
If your tooth pain is the result of a more serious problem, which could be anything from a crack to more serious tooth decay, then we may choose to cover your tooth after prepping it and resolving any issue with diseased tissue. A crown is made of artificial tissue (it looks natural) in the shape of a hollow tooth. Placed over your own, it gives you a whole, solid “tooth” again and your pain can go away.
Root Canal Therapy When…
Serious pain may come from an internal infection within your tooth. Root canal treatment removes the damaged tissue, we clear the infection, we place a crown after sealing openings in your tooth, and the tooth pain goes away.
