Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain or sensitivity that just won't go away? It could be a sign that you need endodontic care. As a general dentist with extensive experience in endodontics, I can help diagnose and treat issues related to the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and nerves. Here are some signs that indicate you may need to schedule an appointment with us.
Persistent Tooth Pain: If you are experiencing persistent or severe tooth pain, especially when you bite down or apply pressure to the tooth, it could be a sign of an infection or damage to the dental pulp. In our general dentistry practice, we perform thorough examinations to determine the root cause of the pain and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers even after the stimulus is removed can be a sign of dental issues that require professional care. This sensitivity may indicate an underlying problem with the dental pulp that needs to be addressed promptly.
Swollen Gums: Swollen or tender gums around a specific tooth could be a sign of an infection that has spread to the surrounding tissues. We can evaluate the extent of the infection and provide treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.
Darkening of the Tooth: A tooth that has become discolored or darkened may indicate problems within the tooth, such as decay or damage to the pulp. Seeking our expertise can help identify the cause of the discoloration and determine the best course of action to restore the tooth's health and aesthetics.
History of Trauma or Injury: If you have experienced a traumatic injury to the mouth, such as a blow to the face or a sports-related accident, it is essential to see us for a comprehensive evaluation. Trauma to the teeth can lead to complications that may require specialized treatment to save the tooth and preserve oral health.
If you are experiencing any of the above signs or symptoms, it is crucial to seek care promptly. In Eugene, Oregon, our family dentistry office offers comprehensive endodontic services to diagnose and treat complex dental issues related to the tooth's pulp and nerves. By addressing these issues early on, you can prevent further damage and preserve your natural smile for years to come.
