"Difficulty in finding competent dentists has worsened "

: It is often confusing to determine who is qualified to provide surgical procedures, particularly when the Internet is populated with information about dentists performing extractions, root canal treatment ,cosmetic treatment, periodontal (gum) surgery, dental implant placement & etc.

It is important to keep in mind while sifting through this information that with any surgical procedure there are inherent risks and you should be in specialist hands when undergoing surgery.

In the specialist hands, dental treatment is extremely successful and complications are pretty rare. However, in the event of a surgical complication the extensive experience of surgical specialists provides a level of safety and comfort for patients that does not exist when non specialist dentists with far less training and experience perform surgical procedures .

TYPES OF TOOTH PAIN YOU SHOULDN’T IGNORE

(ALERT : If you have Pain or sensitivity in your teeth , please always consult a specialist Dr. who has MDS degree in Restorative Dentistry & Endodontics.)

Nothing is worse than a throbbing toothache. Research shows at least 55.1% of adults have had a toothache within the last 6 months. Although you might believe an occasional ache is normal, it’s never a good sign. In fact, it often indicates there’s a problem brewing in your mouth. Different types of tooth pain can shed light on the source of your discomfort.

Most common types of dental pain you shouldn’t ignore.

1- A dull, lingering ache
2- Sensitivity
3- Sharp pain
4- Severe, throbbing pain
5- Pain when biting
6 - Pain in the back of tooth

Common factors responsible for tooth pain:

1- Aggressive toothbrushing
2- Teeth grinding
3- Consuming acidic foods and beverages: Excessive consumption of acidic products (even if they are healthy, such as oranges) can wear down your teeth over time.
4- Gum disease: When gums become inflamed, they leave sections of the tooth exposed and unprotected, resulting in sensitivity.
5- Decayed, broken or chipped teeth and fillings: If any chips and cracks form in your tooth, it exposes the dentin, causing sensitivity.

How Can I Treat My Tooth Pain ?

1- Fluoride treatment: Fluoride application can strengthen your tooth structure

2- Tooth-coloured fillings: If a cavity is causing the sensitivity, our dentists can remove the decay and apply a special resin material to cover the exposed dentin

3- Dietary changes: Reducing consumption of acidic foods and drinks

4- Oral hygiene habits: Be sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and a toothpaste specialized for sensitive teeth. The toothpaste should contain potassium nitrate as this will help block those ‘tunnels’ to the nerve in the tooth.

5- Gum surgery: If your gums have receded and are the cause of discomfort, a surgical gum graft can alleviate the pain

6- Custom-built nightguard

7- Root Canal treatment

8- Crown
