Pain after dental work

Whenever removing a large amount of decay, there is always the risk of involving the pulp (the nerve). You don’t always have to enter the nerve of the tooth to require a root canal, sometimes just the trauma of removing tooth and decay can cause enough of an issue to cause irreversible pulpitis – meaning the nerve is inflammed and will not get better on it’s own. Please see your dentist as soon as you can to have it evaluated. If a root canal is needed it is best to take…

Whitening strips
Jan 23, 2013

Our office has been using a form of whitening strips for a couple years now.
