Dr. Jeffrey W. Mathews D.D.S's Expert Contributions
What is the reason behind tooth sensitivity?
You could have a large cavity that is approaching the nerve in the tooth, thus requiring a root canal. You may have just temporarily traumatized the tooth (bit down on something hard, clinching your teeth at night), but actually not damaged the tooth, and this is reversible, meaning that your symptoms will resolve. I would recommend that you see a dentist. Hope this helps. READ MORE
Abscessed tooth? What could this mean?
Tooth pain, swelling of the gums or face, could be a sign of an abscessed tooth. Once the tooth is abscessed, it is important to remove the infection. The infection must be physically removed either by means of a root canal (saving the tooth) or by removing the tooth. The key to not getting an abscess is regular check ups. The most common form of tooth abscess starts from a small cavity, when these cavities are small they generally do not hurt and go undetected. Therefore, you must see a dental professional. You will save a lot of money with a routine check up and getting the tooth fixed before it abscesses. Hope that helps. READ MORE
My daughter has a cut inside of her mouth from falling. How can I rule out any infection?
The oral cavity is actually a great place for healing. Healing occurs better in the mouth than most places outside the body. As long as the area is clean there is a very low risk of infection. If infection does occur the area will have problems healing, likely look red and irritated, and probably be painful. READ MORE
