TOOTH PAIN AND SWELLING

Tooth pain and swelling can occur due to a variety of dental issues such as tooth decay, gum diseases, dental trauma, and oral infections. When left untreated, these conditions can cause severe discomfort and impact oral health.

Causes:

Tooth decay
Gum diseases
Dental trauma
Oral infections
Abscessed tooth
Wisdom tooth impaction
Teeth grinding
Sinusitis

Symptoms:

Pain or sensitivity while biting or chewing
Swelling in the affected area
Redness and tenderness in gums
Difficulty opening mouth
Bad breath or unpleasant taste in mouth

Treatment Options:

We may use diagnostic tools such as X-rays to get a better understanding of the issue.

Pain medication: Over-the-counter pain medication such as ibuprofen can be used to relieve pain and reduce swelling.
Antibiotics: In case of an oral infection, antibiotics may be prescribed to control the spread of bacteria and reduce pain and swelling.
Cleaning and scaling: In case of gum disease, deep cleaning and scaling may be done to remove plaque and tartar buildup and reduce pain and swelling.
Root canal treatment: For an abscessed tooth, a root canal procedure may be done to remove the infected pulp and prevent the spread of infection.

Post-op Care:

Avoid hot and cold food and drinks
Use pain medication as prescribed
Brush and floss regularly
Avoid chewing hard food on the affected side
Visit your dentist for follow-up appointments

By following these post-op care instructions and seeking prompt treatment for pain and swelling, you can prevent further complications and maintain good oral health. We use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure that our patients receive the highest quality of care.
