Tooth Pain Management and Treatment At South City Dental

At South City Dental, a dentist will conduct a thorough examination and inquire about your symptoms. We may also take a dental X-ray to determine if there are any underlying issues beneath your gums. There are several available toothache treatments, and the appropriate one for you will depend on the severity of your condition.

Toothache Medicine

Toothache symptoms can be temporarily relieved by antibiotics and pain relievers. But, it is important to note that these are not a permanent cure. An infection that goes away after taking antibiotics will come back unless the underlying issue is treated. While waiting to see a dentist, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen to alleviate pain and tenderness.

Dental Fillings

If you have a small cavity or a small piece of your tooth has broken off, your dentist at South City Dental may suggest a dental filling procedure. During the procedure, the damaged portion of your tooth will be removed, and the void will be filled with a durable dental filling material.

Root Canal Therapy

If bacteria get inside your tooth pulp through a cavity or crack, you may require a root canal procedure. During this procedure, your dentist at South City Dental will remove the inflamed nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues from inside the tooth. After that, the inside surfaces of your tooth will be cleaned, and a filling material will be used to fill your pulp chamber and root canals. In most cases, a crown will also be required to protect and strengthen your tooth.

Tooth Extractions

Your dentist At South City Dental prefers to save natural teeth whenever possible. However, in some cases, a tooth extraction becomes necessary. If your tooth is severely damaged, we may need to remove it from its socket and clean out any infection.

If you require a tooth extraction, it’s important to discuss replacement options with your dentist. Once the extraction site has healed, we can replace the missing tooth with a dental bridge or dental implant. We can also create a temporary tooth for you to wear until the permanent replacement is ready.
