If you have a toothache and you also happen to be a worrier or have quite an active imagination, there’s something you should know: You could end up causing yourself a whole lot of stress and anxiety over nothing if your tooth is completely fine. So there’s no use sitting at home fretting and wondering what the problem is. Instead, come in. Let us see your tooth for ourselves. Allow us to determine whether it’s irritation, sensitivity, a cavity, etc. No matter what, you will feel so much better knowing (and then knowing how to proceed).
Perhaps you have a minor issue that needs to be addressed, such as a cavity that we can treat with a dental filling. If you come in for your toothache right away, we can fill the cavity, eradicate the decay, and you can go home. You will have prevented a cavity that could have grown (and grown), eventually causing you to be the recipient of a tooth infection or cracked tooth. Seeing us is certainly to your benefit!
Then again, your toothache could be a signal from your mouth telling you that you really need to see our team. Why? Well, perhaps you already have an infection or severe decay. You need care ASAP or you could end up losing your tooth, dealing with an abscess, etc. You won’t always know that an issue requires treatment immediately because sometimes, symptoms are not as severe as the issue. Again, when you come in to see us, you remove uncertainty and we can simply fix the problem!
Rather than trying to ignore a toothache or rationalize what you think might be going on, we always suggest that patients experiencing tooth pain come in for a checkup just to be on the safe side. Set up an appointment in Grand Prairie, TX by contacting your dentist at Pecan Tree Dental to schedule a visit at (972) 262-5111.
