Common Services Provided at Livewell Dentistry

Dental emergencies can build up over time, or happen suddenly. The most useful tool in successful care is early detection. What could seem like a minor, ignorable inconvenience at first can turn into something seriously threatening if not treated appropriately. We offer services that cover a wide range of procedures to provide better care for all types of emergencies. We commonly practice:

• Gum Pain Relief- Gum pain or tenderness can act as a red flag that something is wrong in the deeper layers of tissue. Dr. Pasco will be able to assess the true cause of the pain, providing long-term relief and preventing any further damage.
• Filling Repair- A filling can become loose or fall out due to the material it was made with, or further decay of the surrounding tooth. This occurrence commonly happens while eating. Early repair is beneficial in preventing any further damage or decay to the tooth.
• Toothache assessment- Toothaches can range in severity, and often start as small jabs in specific situations, such as pressure or temperature changes. In time, these small jabs can become a consistent dull throbbing that interrupts your daily life. Toothaches are often warning signs that there is a greater issue within. This is why early evaluation is beneficial in preventing further issues.
• Crown Repair- If a crown becomes loose or falls out, this is often a clear sign that the tooth has further decayed and requires immediate assessment. This repair should be handled quickly to avoid any risk of infection, as well as pain associated with the exposure of the tooth.
• Root Canal Therapy- This procedure is often done to save a tooth that is damaged or decaying, or has needed multiple fillings or crowns. This helps to restore the connection between the root and tooth, preventing the need to have the tooth extracted.
• Jaw Tenderness- If you notice changes in your jaw, such as swelling or tenderness, this could be a sign of infection in the jaw tissue or along the bone. Livewell Dentistry will be able to best assess the cause of infection as well as the severity of its spread. They can monitor the infection, ensuring its complete removal.
• Extractions- Dr. Pasco and her team will always strive to protect and maintain your natural teeth. In severe circumstances, this can mean the removal of a tooth or teeth that are damaged or decayed beyond repair. These are often sites of intense pain, as well as an increased risk of infection. Removal helps to protect the surrounding teeth and alleviate pain.
• Emergency Dental Services- Some dental services are needed immediately due to accidental incidents. This could include playing a high contact sport where a ball hit your face or falling from a bike and landing face first. An unintended blow to the mouth, jaw, or face can cause teeth to become loose, chipped, broken, or even completely removed. Each situation is unique and requires an assessment from the staff at Livewell Dentistry.

Caring for Your Teeth

Some dental emergencies are caused by accidents and are hard to avoid. However, several are avoidable with proper preventive measures. One way to help avoid an emergency appointment is by following your dentist’s oral hygiene plan of regular brushing and flossing. Another method is to stop by our Livewell Dentistry office every 6 months for a routine cleaning and check-up with Dr. Pasco. This allows us to have a continual assessment of the health of your teeth. Regular visits can help us identify concerns early, helping to prevent incidents requiring emergency care.
