If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, you will want to immediately visit our dentist in Aurora to determine the exact cause of the pain. Our endodontist will then be able to provide you with the appropriate treatment. If you have a tooth which has infected or damaged pulp in its interior, you will most likely need to have a root canal treatment. In fact, this kind of tooth problem will never get better on its own unless it receives a root canal treatment. During the root canal, all damaged or infected pulp is removed from the interior of the tooth. The entire tooth and root canal system are cleaned and sealed to prevent any reinfection. This should allow the tooth to fully recover, as it does not need to have the tooth pulp once it has erupted. Signs of a tooth that needs a root canal treatment are pain when you eat something hot or cold, or pain when you put chewing pressure on your tooth. Another type of tooth emergency you can experience is an impacted wisdom tooth. Oftentimes, wisdom teeth will become impacted, and then are usually extracted to prevent infection or other types of complications. Some symptoms that indicate you may have an impacted wisdom tooth are: swelling of the gums by your wisdom teeth; difficulty opening your jaw; a bad taste in your mouth; pain when you open your mouth; or pain when you are chewing.
