When you wake up with a toothache, it can put a damper on your entire day. Concentrating on basic activities becomes a real chore. You may not even be able to eat or drink without experiencing serious pain in your sensitive tooth. If these symptoms last more than a day, please call our office to examine your smile. If we discover your pain is due to a tooth infection, we recommend treating it right away to prevent oral bacteria from entering your bloodstream to reach other areas of the body. Root canal therapy can clear any foreign material from your tooth’s root and protect against future reinfection. Caught early, this can prevent the need for extracting your tooth.
At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer emergency services to help you get any sudden injury under control. From tooth infections to sporting accidents, your pain cannot wait until your general checkup. Furthermore, treatment helps prevent damage from accumulating more, so do not delay in giving us a call! When injuries leave permanent changes in the structure of your tooth, we can discuss restorative options to return your tooth’s function and appearance!
