Can Your Sore Tooth Be Saved?

Can Your Sore Tooth Be Saved?Have the last few months been filled with discomfort or pain, especially when trying to enjoy hot beverages and even iced or sugary treats? Does the discomfort seem isolated to a single tooth, or several? If so, it could be due to a dental cavity or even an infection. After injury, intrinsic damage can be done, too. Though the results might not be easily visible, an accident or injury could lead to severe problems if untreated. Fortunately, in most cases fragile, damaged and even sore teeth can be corrected through restorative dentistry. So if you’re ready to restore your oral comfort, why not talk to your dentist about how restoration could help?

Don’t Ignore Dental Sensitivity or Other Signs of Trouble

Though many people feel tempted to ignore tooth sensitivity and sometimes even discomfort, these are common warning signs of dental cavities. Untreated, cavities can lead to painful tooth infections, as well as visible changes to the smile, like deep discoloration or white patches.

Fortunately, modern dental fillings can usually help to save and protect teeth affected by acidic erosion. Plus, they’re made to fit comfortably and naturally, within one’s smile.

Prompt Treatment Is the Best Way to Restore Comfort and Confidence

In the case of chips or cracks, as well as tooth infections, restorative dental crowns are often the best solution. Crowns are durable yet natural-looking. They help to keep damage from worsening with further wear, and they can prevent infection, as well.

The sooner you seek treatment, the more likely it is that minimally invasive treatment will be effective at protecting your tooth.
