Is Tooth Pain Making You Cringe?

Tooth pain is something that should never be ignored. A toothache is an indicator that there is a severe problem going on inside your mouth. Tooth pain is a result of an infection or damage from inside the tooth. Pain associated with a toothache can be constant or intermittent, and factors such as temperature changes and pressure on the tooth while chewing can stimulate the pain.

The most crucial thing to know about a toothache is that it will not go away on its own. If an infection or damage has reached the inner structure of a tooth, the nerve endings will constantly be under attack and will send sharp pains until the issue is resolved. That is why it is necessary to contact your dentist if a problem arises that causes pain to one or more of your teeth. Ignoring any oral health issue will only make it worse.

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal therapy procedure is one that dentists use to repair a badly damaged or decaying tooth to restore your smile’s health. For many years, root canals have had a bad reputation that is entirely unwarranted. People have mistakenly associated root canals with pain – but it is the painful tooth, not the remedy, that causes so much discomfort. Without a root canal procedure, not only will the pain continue until it becomes excruciating, but the infection to the tooth will cause the tooth to die. Any untreated infection will also spread to the gums and neighboring teeth, causing extensive damage to your smile that will be irreversible.

During a root canal procedure, a dentist will clean out the inside of the affected tooth to remove all infection and damage. The tooth will be treated with medication to kill any lingering bacteria, and the tooth will be filled with a special substance to support the outer tooth structure. The entire procedure is done under local anesthetics, and if you need extra help relaxing, sedation options are available.

At Ora Dentistry, we are here to help you with all of your oral health care needs. Our practice is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain a beautifully healthy smile. If you have any type of tooth pain, please do not procrastinate in contacting us. We can assure you that we will make you very comfortable during your procedure.

Very confused by the website and advertising as an after hour/emergency dental service. I broke a tooth this evening and was looking for emergency dental services for the earliest appointment. I called and a receptionist/operator picked up on a Friday evening close to 8 p.m. and said that the emergency dental service was only for existing patients. That isn't on the website and in fact, the top line on the website states if you need emergency dental care , call. Don't mind that they aren't able to see me, but the operator needs a better script when explaining their services and should also provide better service or don't be an after hour receptionist. She also never asked me if I WAS an existing patient. Would love to give no stars, but I can't post unless I pick one. UPDATE: So wasn't expecting the owner of the practice to call me. I spoke with Dr. Dalla and he explained in detail their policies and calmed my anxiety regarding my broken tooth.. I appreciate that he is a business owner that pays attention to what is being said about his practice and would take the time to follow up. I may have found a new dentist.

I’ve been searching for a dental office for my special needs daughter for a long time. I called many offices explaining her situation that she had Autism and anxiety and I was told they didn’t see special needs kids. I came across Ora Dentistry through my google search and gave them a call explained to them my situation and they told me they’d be happy to see her. We scheduled an appointment. On the day of the appointment I called again and explained her situation and told them she would like her sister and mom to be there for support due to her anxiety and they were totally accommodating and that put me at ease. We got to our appointment and were greeted by Bridgette she was AMAZING with my daughter she made her feel SUPER comfortable through out the entire process! I’ve never seen my daughter so calm and relaxed. When the doctor came in to do his exam on her he too was beyond nice and again made my daughter feel at ease. I really have to thank Ora dentistry for their excellent service! If you have a special needs child this is the place to go! Highly recommend it!

Two years ago I visited this office to assess the viability of getting an implant for a lost tooth. On that first visit Dr. Dalla had x-rays taken, made the assessment, provided me with options, including performing an implant on a lost back molar. I consented, and right then and there, he performed the actual implant and gave me a return appointment to insure all was healing well. Then, 3 months later, he fitted me with the abutment and took impressions for the crown. Two weeks after that the crown was installed. Not only was the work done in record time, but it has been the best fitting crown I've ever had, and I've had 18 crowns in my lifetime of 68 years. This was my second implant. My first implant was by another dental office and does not come close to compare with Dr. Dalla's work. His implant and crown feel like healthy, natural teeth, and in fact, I chew most of my food using that new "molar." I wish I would have gone to him long ago. By far the best around. He is a perfectionist, and is demanding of himself. Just what you should want in someone performing your dental work. Highest recommendations!
