If you have routine checkups, you can prevent many dental issues from becoming a major problem. Sometimes, however, an unexpected toothache can reduce your productivity and ruin your day. The following are some emergency treatments you might need:
Toothache Pain
A toothache is a horrible experience, and it can occur for a variety of reasons, including injuring a tooth, developing a large cavity, or having an infection in the gums. You don’t need to suffer from a toothache because a dentist in Yorktown, NY, can provide an immediate examination with medical images. It is a good idea to contact a regular dentist for emergencies, but you can also count on other dentists when you have a toothache. Make sure to bring along your dental health information to the dentist’s office to make the process easier.
Cracked or Chipped Teeth
If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, then you can feel pain in your gums or jawbone, but a dentist in Yorktown, NY, can repair these problems. Applying bonding material to the tooth can keep air from touching the nerves in the tooth, but you may need aggressive treatment with a root canal. With this procedure, our dentist will inject medication into your gums to numb the tissue, and it is also possible to have sedation therapy. The top of the damaged tooth is removed so that our dentist can remove its interior structures. The roots of the tooth are also removed, and our dentist will fill it with a soft substance that will dry quickly.
Dental Crowns
A tooth that has undergone a root canal isn’t strong enough to withstand chewing food, so while you are having the procedure, our dentist will create a customized dental crown. This restoration will fit over the natural tooth’s shell to provide a sturdy biting surface, and it is made from a color-matching composite resin. You will care for this restoration by brushing and flossing it along with your other teeth.
