Why Does My Tooth Hurt?
Does your tooth hurt? Are you trying to figure out what the problem is, finding yourself simultaneously worrying about how to approach the issue and which dental service we may provide to alleviate the issue? The good news is that we can help. We suggest you contact us immediately to schedule a visit, so we can take a look at the tooth and provide treatment.

Gum Disease Symptoms
The bad news about gum disease symptoms is that they often fail to occur when the problem begins. Unfortunately, the beginning stage (gingivitis) is the only part of this aggressive oral problem that we can completely clear, so your gum tissue returns to its naturally healthy state. Once the problem progresses into full periodontal disease, it’s an issue that is treatable and manageable – but not curable. The the best choice is to visit us every six months for your dental checkup, so we may alert you that a problem exists. In addition, it’s also very important you recognize a symptom if one should occur, contacting us ASAP.

We would like to begin by providing you with some quick answers to common concerns. Then, we suggest you schedule an implant consultation with our practice.
