There can be several reasons why you are experiencing a toothache or other type of oral pain. Our dentist in Anaheim will first need to determine the exact cause of your tooth pain, before treatment can be provided. Many times, the patient will be experiencing tooth pain because they have a tooth which is damaged in its center. If you have a tooth that has infected or damaged pulp, you will need to have a root canal procedure in order to save the tooth. During a root canal procedure, all infected pulp will be removed from the center of the tooth, and the tooth and root canal system will be thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Happily, root canal treatments are effective in saving teeth in over 90% of cases. However, if a tooth needs to have a root canal treatment, and is not provided, the tooth will be lost. In addition, the sooner a root canal treatment is provided, the more likely it is to be effective. Another very common cause of tooth pain is pain caused by wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the last teeth in the mouth to erupt, so there is often little or no room for this to occur. For this reason, wisdom tooth eruption is often the cause of problems in the mouth. Sometimes wisdom teeth will attempt to come in sideways, or will push other permanent teeth out of position while they are coming in. Other times, the teeth will become impacted, or infection can develop around the tooth, as well. When a wisdom tooth is painful and causing problems, our dentist in Anaheim will most likely recommend that it is extracted.
