What are your options to fix a cracked or chipped tooth?

Emergency care for a cracked tooth

A cracked tooth can be tricky to diagnose as symptoms could be sporadic, but common signs include pain when chewing, temperature sensitivity, and might even be a result of decay. Yes, your nighttime grinding could potentially lead to a cracked tooth or even a vertical root fracture. It's vital to seek immediate dental attention for pain relief and treatment.

Treatment options for a throbbing tooth pain

What to do when something's stuck in teeth

One may identify an intraoral foreign object, such as fragments of rubber, by a persistent discomfort or pressure sensation between teeth. If the object is visible and not causing severe discomfort, it is permissible to carefully attempt removal at home using dental floss. However, if these attempts exacerbate pain or produce bleeding, immediate professional intervention is recommended. Our Oakland office provides same-day dental care to swiftly address these situations. Maintain a regimen of mouthwash usage, enhancing oral health and potentially dislodging minor debris.

FAQ

Why is tooth pain worse at night?

Tooth pain can be worse at night because saliva production decreases when we sleep, exposing the tooth's nerves to harsher temperatures and air. This can cause increased sensitivity and discomfort, leading to greater pain during the night.

Can a dentist pull a severely infected tooth?

Yes, a dentist can pull a severely infected tooth if it's necessary. The dentist will typically recommend less invasive treatments such as antibiotics or root canal therapy first but may look to extraction as the last resort.

Should I visit the emergency room for dental emergencies?

It is best to visit the emergency room if you are experiencing heavy bleeding, severe pain, extensive swelling or trauma causing injury to teeth. During non-emergency times an appointment with your dentist should be booked for further evaluation and treatment.

What happens if you don't remove a decayed tooth?

If a decayed tooth is not removed, it can cause infection and spread bacteria to other parts of the mouth. Untreated decay may weaken the surrounding teeth or require more extensive treatments such as root canal therapy and/or crowns.
