“Ouch! This tooth is killing me!”  Whether it’s a dull throb or a sharp shooting pain, a toothache is never fun. So, the time to visit a dentist is NOW.  At Ease Dental knows that tooth pain can be debilitating, and no person should have to wait days to see a dentist.  That is why we make ourselves available to our patients throughout the week, as well as on weekends. Finding someone to help you when you’re in pain should never be a problem, which is why we continuously offer you solutions.  Sometimes a toothache isn’t indicative of an issue with your tooth at all.  Sometimes, you may have a gum infection.  It's possible a piece of food or calculus lodged itself under your gums.  A close inspection from your dentist will usually reveal the problem quickly.

But I know it’s my tooth.  Maybe the tooth has a large hole in it.  Maybe a piece of your tooth broke off.  Maybe the tooth has a large black or dark brown spot on it.  If you know for a fact it is your tooth causing you pain, there are usually several options for how you can find relief.  The fact that the tooth is hurting means the infection has progressed to the nerve of the tooth.  If there is enough remaining of the healthy parts of the tooth, a root canal can be performed to remove the necrotic and infected tissue from the dental pulp.  If the decay has progressed too far, sometimes an extraction is necessary to relieve the pain.  Either way, visiting a dentist is the best way to find out what your options are.  Call us at (479) 553-9225 for a same day appointment to evaluate your toothache.
