You can have a hard time ignoring the pain that your wisdom teeth cause when they begin to erupt. The movement of these teeth can lead to trouble for several reasons. Simply put, many people do not have the space for them, which is why they need to be removed before they fully arrive. As they move in place, they can crowd neighboring teeth, damage your molars, or become impacted and harder to remove. Sunny Smiles is prepared to deal with this problem for you in order to stop pain and preserve your smile. If you feel pressure or pain around the location of your wisdom teeth, we can confirm that their arrival is the source of your trouble and make plans to deal with them. (more…)

Should I See My Dentist About A Toothache?
Is it wise to wait out a toothache, or should you bring discomfort to your dentist’s attention as soon as possible?

Simply put, if you think your tooth pain is a sign that something is really wrong, you should see your dentist. Sunny Smiles is ready to help patients in this situation.
