Abscesses & Wisdom Teeth Pains
Abscesses are advanced bacteria growths that typically begin as cavities. Some can be extremely painful and exude throbbing sensations that hinder sufferers from normal activities. If you are dealing with an abscess it would be best to call us for same-day treatment. Usually, we will provide a mild sedative to relieve the pain, while cleaning out the abscess.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
A broken or chipped tooth sometimes results from a fall, strike, or biting down on a hard object. If this has occurred, you should visit us as soon as possible. In such cases, there may be significant damage inside the tooth that is not readily seen. Waiting to get assistance could cause further damage to the tooth and even risk loss of the entire tooth. When you arrive, you can expect us to take digital x-rays of the so that we can determine the most ideal way to restore your tooth.
Knocked-Out Tooth
In the event of a completely knocked-out tooth, it is imperative that you get to a dental office immediately. If you have the tooth, rinse it off and store it in a cup of milk. The milk will keep the tooth moist and saturate it with minerals that keep it strong. Be sure to use a cold compress if you have any swelling at the gum of the loss tooth.
