Top Dental Symptoms: Toothache

If your mouth or jaw hurt, it could be from a toothache. Toothaches usually indicate a cavity but they can also signal gum disease. In some cases, a toothache is a sign of an abscess or impacted tooth. A toothache should be evaluated by a dentist right away to determine the cause of the problem and prevent the tooth from dying.

Seniors Dental Care

Dental Care for our SeniorsSenior Dentistry Hendersonville NC
As we age, our bodies change and so do our teeth and gums. Teeth become a darker shade from use of tobacco or consumption of coffee and tea. Plaque will eventually lead to gum disease or root decay that can lead to loss of teeth if not taken care of in the early stages. If medications are taken, sometimes the flow of saliva will be reduced. Fillings may crack and let decay seep into teeth. We have products and procedures to prevent damage to or loss of teeth. Together with your good daily hygiene and nutrition and regular check-ups, your teeth can look good and last a lifetime.

It is important to note if your gums become red or start to bleed or feel loose, to please contact us immediately.

General Dentistry for Adults

Dental Root Canals & Oral Hygiene Care Hendersonville NC
Hygiene Visits for Overall Good Health
Having your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist will remove any build-up of plaque and tartar in areas that are difficult to clean with regular brushing. It is necessary to have any tartar below the gumline removed before it becomes a serious problem that leads to the loss of one or many teeth. Untreated gum disease can increase the risk of or even worsen serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. We encourage all of our patients to have their teeth cleaned on a regular basis for good health.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are performed to save a tooth from being extracted. Once a tooth has been damaged or has infected roots, a basic filling will not restore the tooth. The procedure to fix the tooth is to remove its pulp chamber and pack in its place a special filling material. Sometimes a crown will be placed over the tooth to give additional strength and support for chewing.

In the past, a tooth was extracted when it had infected or damaged roots. When root canals were first being performed, they were quite painful, and patients avoided restoration of a tooth if it needed a root canal. With today’s advanced technologies and anesthesia, root canals are mostly painless.
