Tooth pain can be hard for you to ignore, particularly when it stops you from being able to comfortably bite and chew food. Any time discomfort points to an oral health problem, you should have it looked at, as ignoring the matter can lead to more trouble in the near future. What you are feeling could be the symptom of an infection or internal injury, something that can lead to real consequences, including the loss of your tooth! Fortunately, Sunny Smiles is prepared to help patients who experience discomfort. When the problem is specific to a tooth, we can evaluate it to see what kind of restorative work might need to occur. We make access easier when the problem feels severe, too, as we can provide emergency dental services when needed. (more…)

Troubles Linked To Erupting Wisdom Teeth
The movement of your wisdom teeth can turn into a serious problem for your appearance and oral health. Many people lack the space to accommodate wisdom teeth—also known as third molars—and their eruption can cause problems with crowding, enamel damage, and discomfort. If the eruption is disrupted, those third molars can shift or partially erupt, creating more discomfort as well as a more complicated extraction process. Fortunately, when the problem is recognized, the right actions can occur to prevent potentially serious issues. Sunny Smiles has experience treating patients who need to have their wisdom teeth taken out. In addition to providing this service, we can provide regular reviews during dental exams in order to warn you when it should take place. (more…)
