No one enjoys the onset of a toothache. While certain symptoms disappear after a day or so, you should contact your dentist for any pain that lasts longer. This is because toothaches may indicate a dangerous infection that could exit the inside of your dental chamber and spread through the bloodstream. By taking X-rays of your problem area, we can determine if foreign material is present and plan a therapy to relieve your pain. A root canal treatment enters the inside of the tooth to completely clean all decaying material within. We close up the inside with a material called gutta percha and place a dental crown to restore your tooth’s bite. By treating your pain proactively, we prevent the risk of the infection becoming worse.
At your Riverside, CA dental office, we understand that tooth injuries can happen when you least expect them. That is why we offer emergency services to provide immediate treatment outside of your standard cleaning and checkup schedule. When you call our practice, we will give explicit instructions on caring for your pain before you arrive for your visit. After treating your symptoms, we will provide instructions on preventing further damage and review the health of the rest of your smile.
