Dental Treatments to Get You Out of Pain

No matter why you are suffering, we have a dental procedure that can relieve your pain. Among the treatments we offer that can help:

  • Tooth fillings to fix painful cavities and prevent decay from causing further dental damage.
  • Dental crowns to repair and restore broken, cracked, or severely decayed teeth.
  • Gentle tooth extraction when a tooth is beyond repair. If we do remove a tooth, you have the option of multiple tooth replacement options, including dental implants and dental bridges.

Pain can understandably cause you to experience dental anxiety. Fortunately, our compassionate team can soothe your nerves. You might benefit from dental sedation, so ask if this is an option during your next procedure.

Here’s How to Relieve a Toothache at Home

If you have a toothache, we can probably see you for same-day emergency dentistry. In the meantime, here are some things you can do at home.

  • Apply an ice pack to numb the painful area
  • Gargle with salt water, which helps draw out infection
  • Use an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen
