Searching for a Dentist near me Coorparoo to treat a sore tooth?
If you have a sore tooth, make an appointment to come see us at Brisbane Laser Dentist and ask what a dentist near me Coorparoo can do for you. Tooth pain, however slight is by no means something you should ignore, as it may be an indication that there is a problem and the longer you leave it, the worse it can get. We understand that many people have reservations about going to see the dentist and we cannot stress enough how our policy is to take your pain away, not give it to you. Our intention is to alleviate discomfort and heal our patients, but we see many people causing harm to themselves by ignoring their pain, in an attempt to avoid the dentist instead of taking care of problems earlier on.
General treatments
So what if you do have pain? What can a dentist near me do for it? What we do for your pain is entirely dependent on what is causing it. At an initial consultation we will examine your teeth and mouth to see what the problem is, particularly in the area causing you discomfort, it could really be something as simple as a piece of popcorn being lodged between your gum or tooth or it could be the start of a more serious infection, there is no telling until we have a look, which is why it is so important that you make an appointment to come and see us. However, there are more common causes of tooth pain that we have standard treatments for.
Cavities
The pain caused from a cavity may be slight at first and increase over a few months as the cavity becomes bigger, the treatment for cavities is a filling and thanks to the technology of lasers, we may never need to use a drill to sort your filling out, which means that you don’t need to be afraid of that sound at a dentist near me ever again. The hole in your tooth can be easily prepared by a laser before we fill it with a white filling that you won’t even see. It is typically a quick and pain-free procedure that you do not need to have any concerns over, if you are coming in for regular check-ups, we might find it before it’s even bothering you.
Root canal
If you need a root canal, you’re going to know about it, the level of pain you have with this infection inside your tooth’s pulp may be severe and it will need to be taken care of as soon as possible before it forms an abscess or spreads to other teeth and bone. As with the treatment for cavities our dentist will first numb your mouth so that you won’t feel anything, then using lasers we will carve away at your tooth until the infection is exposed. Next a method of flushing and cleansing with a different type of laser this time will be administered until we get all the infection out, after which we will fill your tooth with a rubbery substance in order to keep it clean and infection-free. The tooth is then given a temporary crown until such time as we have your permanent one ready then we will make sure the infection is completely gone and put the permanent crown over the top of your tooth.
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
