Naperville Toothache
It's not easy to focus on anything when a toothache makes its presence known. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at the office of Linda Ricks, DDS, MS, PC, because until the cause of your
Naperville toothache is identified and dealt with, you'll be suffering needlessly. And that is certainly not what we want.
The most common reason for toothaches is that a cavity develops as a result of tooth decay. The exposed nerve is why you are feeling pain. All our dentist has to do is prepare a filling and place it in the cavity to remedy the matter. You can also get a Naperville toothache if an existing filling has loosened and fallen out. The solution is essentially the same, except it's a matter of replacing one you already had instead of putting one in for the first time. You may also have a chipped or cracked tooth, and that is also a case where the exposed nerve is being met by cold or hot or just a rush of air, and the outcome is not pleasant for you. Our dentist will take impressions so that the dental lab can fashion a crown to cover the damaged tooth. You will be fitted with a temporary one in the meantime. The danger in all of the above cases is that your
Naperville toothache can result in an infection, either in the tooth's pulp, or between the gum and tooth. Either can be excruciatingly painful. Root canal therapy is the remedy for a tooth that has sustained an infection. Fortunately, the advancements made in this method mean you can relax and expect a comfortable procedure that includes little or no pain at all.
The more quickly you act to contact us when your tooth is causing you pain, the sooner you will experience relief. Call us right now.
