It may be harder than you realize to recognize when something is wrong with your oral health. You can let a cavity go untreated for an extended length of time because the decay is not initially painful, and you can overlook the warning symptoms of gum disease. With that said, there are times when it can actually be hard to ignore the possibility that you need oral health care. When you start to feel a toothache, it can point to an issue with an infection from an advanced cavity, or one that has formed after an injury. Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office is prepared to help you deal with this problem. If an evaluation confirms that there is an infection that needs to be cared for, we can provide root canal therapy to make sure that it is fully dealt with. (more…)
