Protect your smile from dental trauma during the holidays!
Winter is coming, and if you are anything like us, you are likely busy preparing for the holidays to celebrate with family and friends.
Have you ever wondered what is causing your painful toothache? Usually, a toothache is the result of damaged nerve endings, which indicate damage to the pulp of a tooth. If you feel any pain or discomfort, you should seek treatment for a toothache.
Toothaches are often characterized by pain in your mouth that lasts a full day after you have taken medication. Also, be on the lookout for a fever, rash, chills, excessive swelling, and discharge around a tooth.
The reason toothaches are painful is because the pulp contains the nerve endings of a tooth. If the nerves are damaged, pain will result. However, a toothache does not mean that the tooth must be extracted. Schedule an appointment for a consultation with your dentist so together, you can determine which course of treatment will work best for you to save your tooth and your smile.
