Tooth Pain Jackson Heights
Toothache pain is usually not scary, but it can take over your life when it becomes excruciating. Any severe pain in your tooth or jaw area, whether it is constant or it comes and goes, should be addressed and evaluated by our
Jackson Heights emergency dentist. There are many possible causes of a toothache. It could be because of a cavity or due to an abscess or infection, possibly in your root canal. It could be caused by a cracked or broken tooth, an exposed root, or even gum disease. Even muscle spasms or TMJ disorder, which effects the jaw, can be the reason. Often, these feel just like a toothache even though they are not. The best thing to do in any case like this is to call us and schedule an appointment so that Dr. Alhadid can diagnose the problem, treat it, and relieve the pain.
Injuries and accidents can be more frightening. Often the damage can be extensive and so pain mixed with anxiety can make it difficult to think clearly. Sometimes a tooth gets dislodged or even completely knocked out of your mouth. While it is essential to get dental attention immediately, it is also important to remain calm. First, if the tooth can be pushed back into its socket then do so. Otherwise, put the tooth into a container with either milk or water with a pinch of salt. Call our
Jackson Heights emergency dentist. He will determine the extent of the damage and recommend a course of treatment. If the injury is not too severe, Dr. Alhadid may be able to push the tooth back in the socket. In more complicated situations, root canal therapy may be called for. Either way, get seen as soon as possible after a traumatic injury. Often, your tooth can be saved with prompt attention.
