Tooth Pain Treatment at Uru Dental: Fast Relief for a Healthier Smile
Depending on the severity of the dental cavity, your dentist will determine whether you need a tooth filling, deep filling, or a root canal. Tooth pain is a key indicator of the need for dental treatment, and it’s important to understand the underlying cause before proceeding.
Common Causes of Tooth Pain
Tooth pain can stem from various dental issues. Some of the most common causes include:
- Cavities: Decay in your teeth can lead to sensitivity and pain, especially when eating or drinking something hot, cold, or sweet.
- Tooth Infection: A tooth infection or abscess can cause intense, throbbing pain, swelling, and sensitivity to pressure.
- Gum Disease: Inflammation and infection of the gums can lead to tooth pain, particularly if the gums are receding or the teeth are becoming loose.
- Cracked or Damaged Teeth: A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth can expose the inner layers, leading to pain, especially when chewing.
Stage 1 and 2 can be managed by filling
At The Smile Architect Dental Care, we use tooth coloured or white fillings, which help you smile your natural smile without any hesitation. While providing strength and excellent durability, these are used to treat cavities, fractures, and chipped teeth.
How is it done?
The decayed part of the tooth is replaced with a composite resin to regain the lost structure. Since this resin is activated using a blue curing light, it sets while in the dental chair, making it possible to have no food and water restrictions.
Stage 3 & 4 require a RCT
When one undergoes a root canal treatment (RCT), the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. The treatment saves your natural tooth and with that, your beautiful smile.
Does it hurt?
The patients are administered some local anesthesia to make the treatment relatively painless and comforting. However, a root canal is generally a bit sore or numb after the procedure, and can even cause mild discomfort for a few days.
Signs that you might need a Root Canal
- Severe pain while chewing or biting
- Swollen or tender gums
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- Deep decay or darkening of the gums
- Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold sensations.
When to See a Dentist for Tooth Pain
If you’re experiencing tooth pain that lasts more than a day or two, it’s essential to see a dentist as soon as possible. Ignoring the pain can lead to more severe dental issues, including infections or tooth loss.
