Chipped, Cracked, Or Broken Teeth

If a tooth is chipped or broken you should not ignore it. Even if it doesn't feel painful and isn't loose, you should still contact a dentist. A cracked tooth is in severe risk of breaking under any additional pressure, and a broken tooth can cause a variety of problems. If your tooth is damaged, give us a call.

Lost/Loose Dental Fillings

If you feel like a dental filling is loose or if a dental filling falls out, you should call a dentist so that the filling can be removed and replaced. Without a filling your tooth is at high risk of breaking or cracking.

Toothaches

There are a variety of reasons you might feel a toothache, but regardless of the cause they shouldn't be ignored. The exterior of our teeth doesn't have a lot of nerves, so if you are feeling something in your tooth it likely means that decay has spread past the enamel.

Swollen Jaw

A swollen jaw can be caused by a variety of problems. If you notice pain in your jaw or swelling it could be caused by a dental issue.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If an adult tooth is knocked out of your mouth you will want to see a dentist right away. In some cases, it is possible to re-implant a knocked out tooth. As long as the tooth is rinsed off and in good condition, and you get to the dentist quickly, it can be re-implanted.

May Need A Root Canal

Root canals are necessary when dental decay has not only spread past the enamel but has spread into the root. Without a root canal the entire tooth can be compromised and will need to be removed.

Bleeding/Sore Gums

If you notice that your gums are red, puffy, or they bleed frequently when you brush and floss this can be a sign that your gums are at risk for gum disease. A quick dental appointment can help you address gum disease issues,

Other Types of Dental Repair

If you notice pain or have an issue with a dental bridge or dental implant or other issue, we can help. Never ignore a dental issue.
