Common Procedures

Continuous or recurring tooth pain may indicate infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp that requires professional treatment.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold Temperatures
Lingering sensitivity after consuming hot or cold foods and beverages can be a sign of nerve damage or infection inside the tooth.
Swollen or Tender Gums
Inflammation, tenderness, or swelling around a specific tooth may suggest an underlying infection that needs attention.
Tooth Discoloration
A tooth that becomes darkened or grayish in color may indicate damage to the inner pulp tissue.
Pain While Chewing or Biting
