Emergency Dental Care
Pain is the main symptom that brings people to the dentist. A tooth may suddenly become sensitive to heat or cold. Chewing may cause a tooth to hurt. A filling may have fallen out, leaving behind a throbbing ache. Any injury to the teeth or gums is potentially serious. Apart from the fact that even minor dental emergencies can cause excruciating pain, there’s always a risk of damage to nerves or blood vessels and of infections, which can become life threatening. If you ignore dental pain, you’re taking a chance because delays in treatment may significantly increase the risk of permanent damage.
Dentures
Are you missing a series of teeth or all your teeth? Are you unhappy with the way your smile looks? Are you ready to discuss tooth replacement options with your dentist?
