If you are reading this, you are probably experiencing some sort of pain or discomfort. Unfortunately, many patients that visit our office initially, come because of pain/discomfort. It is our priority to get you out of pain and then prevent it from recurring. Most dental pain has its origin in the mouth and jaw. It can be the result of a bad cavity that has invaded into the nerve, a periodontal (gum or pyorrhea) disease, or potentially joint issues. The pain can be inflammatory based or directly pain induced. Treatment of the condition that creates the discomfort is the ultimate answer, and we’d love to help you!

Oftentimes pain can be managed with anti inflammatory (NSAIDs) and antipyretic (temperature reducing –Tylenol) medications. In some cases, when there is an infection, we may recommend a temporary use of an antibiotic. Ultimately, diagnosis and treatment of the pain source is the cure.
Once you are out of pain, we will discuss preventive treatment to keep you pain free. We are in the business of creating a lifetime of healthy smiles, which also means pain free! As the saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
