What Should I Do In A Dental Emergency?
If you have a dental emergency because of an accident, injury, or sudden dental pain, the first thing to do is give us a call at 812-913-6093. Dr. Michael Kirchner and our friendly team are often able to see patients if they can call before 9:30 a.m. If it’s later than that, we can still help you get the care you need in a timely manner to ease the dental pain.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Tooth decay and gum disease are caused by harmful bacteria. There are times when these bacteria can get inside your tooth and infect it that resulting to dental pain or discomfort. Since this is where all of the tooth’s nerve endings are found, it can be very painful. Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp and replaces it with a safe, inert substance. Finally, the pain will be gone.
In some cases, there isn’t enough healthy pulp left to save. The tooth will need to be removed and replaced with a dental implant.
If A Tooth Needs Extracting, How Can I Replace It?
Whenever possible, Dr. Kirchner will save your tooth and stop you from having dental pain or discomfort. With fillings, crowns, and root canals, there are a lot of things our Jeffersonville, IN dental office can do to keep your teeth healthy. However, there are times when removing a tooth is the only option left. In that case, you have two options for replacing it. Dental bridges are a more affordable option, and dental implants are a more permanent option.
How Can Dental Implants Help?
If a painful tooth cannot be saved, you need to replace it. Dental implants are a great option because they replace tooth roots and keep the jawbone healthy. Dr. Michael Kirchner of Kirchner Dental in Jeffersonville, IN coordinates the placement of implants with a local oral surgeon. Once your jaw has healed, he’ll then carefully place a replacement tooth atop the implant. You will no longer be in pain and can eat anything with comfort.
Pain should not be something you need to suffer through. Call Kirchner Dental today at 812-913-6093 or use our convenient online form for your next appointment. Dr. Michael Kirchner of Kirchner Dental in Jeffersonville, IN received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Indiana University School of Dentistry, and had a lot of trainings and awards on his dental history.
