Pain Management

The last thing you want to experience in your mouth is pain. The frustrating thing is that pain could be from any number of sources. Your teeth, gums, roots, tongue or jaw are all susceptible to pain. There could be an infection in your tooth or gums, an impacted or abscessed tooth, or sore jaws. You want help with identifying and fixing the issue so the pain goes away. Maybe it’s time you made an appointment?

One of the most common causes is cavities. Most likely, they will impact nerves due to possible infections in the tooth or the gums. Other causes you may experience accompany an impacted or abscessed tooth or a sore jaw from grinding your teeth.

Pain might also include a sleep disorder or a persistent headache or neck ache. In addition, any bite relationships or jaw disorders could be a possibility.

When it comes to bites, there are splints that can be applied to stabilize it. Another option would be an orthodontic procedure, appliance, or a restoration technique.
