Toothache in Inwood
There are various possible causes for a
toothache in Inwood, but there is one thing that is certain about it: when you have one, you don't have to have to wait to be seen. That is why our emergency dentist, Dr. Elliott Gutman is dedicated to ensuring that you are examined, evaluated, and treated in a timely manner whenever you are suffering with oral pain of any type.
Among the most common reasons that you would have a toothache are from a cavity, a lost filling, a cracked or chipped tooth, or an infection. You may experience mild to moderate pain, or it could be severe, but a
toothache in Inwood should always be addressed right away. If you don't already have an infection, you may end up with one if you let a toothache go for too long without being treated. It's possible that all you may need is a filling or the replacement of filling. For a chip or crack, you might need to be measured for a crown to cover it so that it remains protected. And if the issue is a tooth infection, the solution is nearly always root canal therapy. No need to worry, though. Advanced methods and equipment have led to this procedure being simpler, more comfortable, and far less scary than its reputation would indicate. Most patients have little or even no pain at all during the treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes an infected tooth, such as when an abscess has occurred, will have to be extracted. This is a last resort, but if it has to be done, you can be sure that you will be made as comfortable as possible.
Don't ignore it when you have a
toothache in Inwood. Dr. Gutman is prepared to help you, and in many instances, you will be able to keep your tooth in addition to the alleviating of your pain. We're here when you need us, so keep our number handy.
