The importance of visiting our dental clinic for emergency care in the Rochester area
Most people may think of tooth pain as a minor nuisance rather than a dental emergency. Dental emergencies, we tend to think, would involve the loss of a tooth from some type of injury. In reality, this type of emergency situation is rather rare, and is outdone on a yearly basis by the "minor nuisance" of the toothache. Tooth pain can be, when severe, a good reason to visit your local dental clinic for emergency care. We encourage our patients from Lapeer, Rochester, and surrounding areas to contact Metropolitan Dental Center for the treatment of any type of tooth pain.
We understand that there are many people who feel anxious about seeing the dentist under any circumstances, let alone one as stressful as a bad toothache. Our team offers compassionate, gentle care in a calm environment so that we may help each of our patients achieve their best oral health, regardless of their starting point. Throughout the process of caring for our patients, we get to know them, one visit at a time. This enables us to tailor care to each individual and his or her immediate needs, as well as goals for the future.
It is important to us to create a setting in which our patients feel comfortable receiving dental care. From our reception area to our treatment rooms, patient comfort is the focus of our design and service. It is our hope that, by providing outstanding care with gentleness and a friendly tone, we encourage patients to obtain care on a regular basis, decreasing the risk of dental emergencies.
Over the counter pain relievers, topical analgesics, and cold compresses may provide some relief from tooth pain. However, these remedies do not treat the problem at its core. In many cases, tooth pain comes from a cavity. While pain reducers may end pain, they can do nothing to stop the progression of a cavity. Treating a problem like a cavity with home remedies may allow the cavity to continue growing to a point where the inner part of the tooth becomes damaged and pain worsens.
Though ending pain is very important, professional care is the only way to prevent further problems in a tooth as well as surrounding tissues and structures. Tooth pain can be a precursor to an abscess, which can spread to gum tissues, bone, and surrounding teeth.
The best solution for tooth pain of any kind is professional, gentle dental care. To relieve pain and guard your oral health, contact Metropolitan Dental Center at .
