Will I Have To Have My Aching Tooth Extracted?

If a tooth continues to ache, it is hard to avoid thinking something might be seriously wrong. If the pain you suffer starts to feel severe, you may worry that the necessary treatment could involve the extraction of your tooth! Sensitivity and pain are often triggered by issues with decay, as a cavity will lead to infection when it grows enough to expose your pulp to bacteria. There is time to save a tooth in this state, but if too much time passes, that window can close. Our Moreno Valley, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help patients in need of treatment for tooth pain. If necessary, we can plan for a safe and careful extraction before making arrangements to replace the tooth. We can also determine if there is still time to save the tooth through root canal therapy.

Is There Still Time To Address Tooth Decay With A Filling?

Why is it necessary to leave a dental filling in place after a cavity treatment? Even if one only does a small amount of damage, all of the harm caused by a cavity will be permanent. In other words, the tooth will forever lose the portion of your enamel affected by decay before restorative dental work was performed. What you should know is that a tooth can be damaged so badly that a filling is not supportive enough to protect your tooth. In these situations, our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to treat the matter and ensure that your tooth remains safe.

Sometimes, a busy schedule can make even a serious problem feel like something you can simply choose to ignore. Unfortunately, when it comes to your oral health, ignoring a problem can lead to further complications that have to be addressed when you finally see your dentist. If you have a toothache, it can indicate the formation of a cavity serious enough to cause an infection within the tooth. After an infection forms, the bacteria within your tooth can continue to cause pain, sensitivity, and even swelling. Without root canal therapy, its health can deteriorate so severely that the only treatment option left is to extract the tooth! Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to work with you in order to find the reason for your toothache, treat the problem, and then restore the tooth to keep it safe. (more…)
