Toothache
Tooth pain can ruin your day. They can interfere with your meals and sleep, cause discomfort, and you may be at loss to understand what is causing the problem. The reasons may include sensitivity, decay, infection, gum disease, cracked tooth or damaged filling. We understand that toothache can become a stressful problem for you if its cause is unknown to you. At Bombay Dental Specialities, we help our patients to identify the cause of the problem and get appropriate treatment in a calm atmosphere.
The examination of your mouth will reveal all the necessary information. Type of the pain, time of onset, triggers, aggravation during chewing or biting, and problems with your teeth, gums, fillings, and bite.
There can be numerous reasons for the occurrence of toothache – tooth decay, infection, gum disease, cracked tooth, sensitivity or damaged fillings. Additional X-ray tests can be needed to determine what happens under the surface of the tooth. As soon as we discover the reason, we discuss treatment options with you.
Root canal treatment can be recommended if infection has affected the inner part of the tooth. This procedure helps to save the natural tooth, relieve the pain. Root canal treatment requires one or two visits to our clinic.
During the first visit we numb the area, remove all the infected tissue, clean your tooth and put a temporary filling in it. Then during the second visit we remove the temporary filling, clean the remaining part of the tooth, seal it and put a permanent filling in it. Sometimes we can recommend installing the crown to protect the tooth.
Early treatment of toothache can prevent it from turning into something much more serious. Toothache treatment can eliminate pain, sensitivity, and help you chew comfortably again.
If there was an infection, it can be prevented from spreading to other teeth, gums or surrounding tissues. In many cases root canal treatment saves the natural tooth and prevents the need for its removal. In addition, the restoration of the tooth can protect it from additional damage and allow you to restore eating and speaking.
Good follow-up care and oral hygiene after the procedure play a great role in the post-treatment period. With the proper diagnostics and timely treatment toothache can be treated in a safe way.
Can root canal treatment be done in one sitting?
Root canal treatment in most cases is performed in one or two visits. Depending on the level of the infection and condition of the tooth, sometimes more visits are needed.
Does every root canal treatment need a crown?
Not always. Some teeth can be restored by means of filling, while some may need crowning.
Is root canal treatment painful?
We focus on making you comfortable and providing pain management. Most of our patients say that they feel little or no pain during and after root canal treatment.
Will the tooth become weak after treatment?
No. With proper restoration of the tooth, such as filling or crown installation, it will be protected from future damage.
