Are you currently experiencing discomfort in a tooth that will not quit? A painful toothache can be a serious distraction and prevent you from concentrating on the important parts of life. Left untreated, the cause of your distress can continuously threaten your oral health. Because the pain can indicate a deeper issue, you should have your tooth examined by a dentist as soon as possible for any persistent discomfort that does not resolve after a few days. If we discover an infection of the pulp of your tooth’s root, we can provide treatment with a root canal therapy. Your Riverside, CA dentist can remove the bacterial infection causing your pain. We will then work with you to plan a restoration to repair the injured tooth and return its healthy appearance!

Valuable Removal Of Wisdom Teeth

Girl smiling outsideThe arrival of your wisdom teeth is a normal part of development for most adolescents and young adults, but unfortunately this appearance can cause great discomfort and pain. In addition to constant aching, the eruption of your third set of molars can damage the enamel of your other teeth and possibly crowd them out. This means there is often simply not enough room in your jaw for these last teeth. Even worse they can become impacted, or not fully emerge, and lead to other oral health problems below your gumline. At your Temecula, CA dentist’s office, we provide services to preserve the health of your smile by removing your wisdom teeth when they pose a threat. Appropriate removal can treat current painful symptoms and protect you against future complications to your other teeth.

Tell your dentist about these symptoms right away so we may explore treatment to provide appropriate relief.

Sometimes, your wisdom teeth fail to completely emerge and cause severe pain by becoming impacted.
