Dental pain can range from a mild sensation to your worst nightmare.
The nerves in your teeth are each connected to a main nerve branch. The
main nerve branches from your upper and lower jaw, which both meet in
front of your ears. Pain from a single tooth can radiate to your ear,
or other
parts
of your head and neck. Very often it can be impossible for you to tell
which tooth is giving you trouble.
Sometimes it takes serious “detective” work on the dentist’s
part to locate the offending tooth. Any information you are able to provide
us is helpful. It is also in your best interest to call the office as
soon as you become aware of a problem developing. Waiting can only make
it worse. We are here to help, and the sooner we can examine you, the
sooner we can help, and ideally head off a severe episode of pain and
suffering.
