A broken tooth, sore gums, tooth sensitivity, or other types of pain and discomfort are all things nobody likes to deal with. Even worse, many people put off visiting their Boise dentist because they think they can tough it out. Waiting, however, often makes these problems worse, costing you more time, money, and stress in the process.
That’s why Summit Dental Group would like to provide you with some common dental complaints and why it’s important to address them.
Dental Complaint | Common Treatments |
Pain & Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods | Dental Filling |
Pain & Swelling | Root Canal (or) Extraction & Antibiotics |
Broken Tooth | Veneer, Crown, Root Canal, Extraction, Dental Implant |
Missing Tooth | Crown & Bridges & Dental Implant |
When issues like these are left ignored and untreated, they can lead to worse problems, which can then lead to more painful, expensive procedures. If you have any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your Boise dentist evaluate your teeth and gums. Compared to chronic, long-lasting problems, a simple trip to your dentist can save you time, money, discomfort, cavities, gingivitis, and more.
A loose tooth is another issue that’s important to address. Loose teeth are often caused by gingivitis that has eaten away at the underlying bone. Furthermore, the surrounding gum tissue can easily trap additional bacteria, further encouraging infection. Without adequate treatment, this cycle will continue to repeat, further putting your teeth and gums at risk of deterioration and discomfort.
While it’s important to brush and floss your teeth at home and maintain regular checkups and cleanings, some problems are unavoidable. Only a dentist will be able to diagnose any serious issues and alleviate them while preventing future problems down the road. If you have any symptoms that are bothering you, seek an evaluation as soon as possible to get peace of mind, pain relief and a better quality of life knowing that you are doing what is best for your long-term dental health.
