Many toothaches could be nothing to worry about but, then again, the pain and discomfort you are suffering from could be an indication of a serious dental issue which needs professional evaluation. Carson & Acasio Dentistry provides toothache dental diagnosis and treatments with emergency dental care.
Some potential causes for concern may include:
Cracked or broken teeth
A simple or deep cavity
An infection in the root canal
Thin tooth enamel
Excess wear caused by grinding
A loose tooth
Gingivitis or periodontitis (gum disease)
A bacterial infection
… and even more.
When you come to see us, we will ask you many questions relative to your symptoms and overall health. We will perform a visual inspection of your mouth and, if indicated, take x-rays and perhaps CT scans, and review them for abnormalities.
Based on our evaluation, we will recommend a treatment plan for you, and provide you with options and costs.
The most important thing is that you don’t delay paying us a visit. Some toothache issues could have been brewing for months, and by the time your tooth hurts, the problem could be related to more serious issues which could affect your overall health and well being.
What most people don’t know, for example, is that an infection in your mouth, or root canal, can spread to other parts of your body including your brain and heart, and become a medical emergency.
A broken tooth is fairly obvious to diagnose with a visual inspection. But beyond the obvious, it’s unwise to think your toothache is not a big deal. Only a professional, thorough, evaluation can identify the root cause of your toothache, and provide you with the peace of mind that your dental issue can be easily remedied without serious long-term consequences.
Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can, and should do, today.
