Dental pain

Dental pain can have many origins. It can come from something as simple as changing your toothbrush or toothpaste. It can also be associated with stress, such as clenching or grinding of the teeth.

In most cases, dental pain is caused by dental problems, such as cavities, cracked teeth, exposed tooth roots or gum disease.

Disorders of the jaw joints can also cause pain that can be described as dental pain.

Dental pain can range in severity from mild to severe. Pain may be aggravated by chewing, cold or heat.

A thorough oral examination, including dental X-rays, will enable us to determine the exact cause of this pain, so that we can quickly suggest an appropriate treatment.

Traditional panoramic X-rays are fantastic, but they have their limitations because they show a 3-dimensional object on a flat 2-dimensional X-ray.

Cone-beam technology allows us to see your dental anatomy and its surroundings as they really exist! We use CBCTs when we place dental implants, identify potential dental fractures, diagnose infections and many other cases where 3D images are useful.
