Persistent or severe pain may signal infection or decay. We’ll quickly diagnose the cause and recommend the proper treatment to relieve your discomfort and protect your tooth.
A chipped or cracked tooth can expose nerves, make eating painful, or lead to infection. We’ll assess the damage, recommend the right solution — whether that’s bonding, a crown, or another restoration — and get you feeling better as soon as possible.
If a tooth has been completely knocked out, time is critical. Reimplantation is most successful within the first 30 minutes. Call us immediately, and if you can, gently place the tooth back in its socket or store it in cold milk or a Save-a-Tooth™ kit on your way in. Handle it by the crown, not the root, and avoid scrubbing.
Jaw pain can originate from various sources, including tooth abscesses, gum disease, or problems with the joint itself. It’s important to have it evaluated quickly to rule out infection or other serious issues. We’ll examine the area, identify the cause, and recommend the right treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent complications.
Broken or missing dental work can leave your teeth vulnerable. We’ll assess the damage and make fast repairs or replacements to restore protection and function. Dr. Shah will also recommend ways to prevent future damage, such as adjustments to diet and regular tooth-check habits.
Signs of infection — such as swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth — require urgent care. Left untreated, these issues can quickly escalate. We’ll treat the infection and help you feel better fast.
