Face Pain Treatment
Facial Pain
Did you know tooth problems can cause facial pain? And to get to the root cause of this problem, only a dentist can help you. At SmileMint Studio, our dentists are experts and can provide timely treatment that will not only bring you relief from your facial pain but will also treat the root cause of your facial pain.
Facial pain can be due to many reasons, but TMJ disorders and dental abscesses are the most common.
What are TMJ disorders?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, where the jaw or mandible connects to the skull. There are two TMJ present on each side of the head. If you have pain and movement problems in this area, then you might suffer from TMJ disorders.
The common symptoms of TMJ are:
- Jaw pain that radiates to the face, head, or the neck
- Jaw muscles become stiff, restricting movement
- Difficulty in opening and closing the mouth – this can include jaw locking
- Uncomfortable clicking, popping, or grinding when moving the jaw.
- Pain in your jaw while chewing and your jaw can feel tender at the joint even when it is not moving.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then step into our clinic, SmileMint Studio, right away.
How do we treat TMJ disorders at SmileMint Studio?
Our proficient dentists, who have undergone additional training and certification just to treat TMJ disorders, will first diagnose you thoroughly by taking your medical history, conducting a physical examination, and suggesting imaging tests like CT and MRI scans.
The treatment options can vary based on the severity of the disorder, and from pain relievers to therapy to surgical options, you can discuss anything with our dentists.
What is a dental abscess?
A dental abscess is a pus buildup that develops when the bacteria infects the soft tissue of the tooth. Infections occur when tooth decay or injuries that damage the teeth allow bacteria to enter.
Abscesses can cause throbbing pain that radiates to the face, neck, and jaw. These symptoms can accompany dental abscesses.
- Loose teeth
- Swelling in the face
- Fever
- Tender, swollen, and red gums
- An unpleasant taste or smell in the mouth
People with symptoms of an abscess should come to our dental clinic as soon as possible, as abscesses can lead to more serious infections that can further spread to the jaw and other parts of the mouth.
How do we treat dental abscesses at SmileMint Studio?
After our team of proficient dentists thoroughly diagnose you, they can prescribe antibiotics to kill the bacteria, professionally drain the abscess depending on the severity of the infection or extract your tooth and provide root canal treatment.
After getting treated by us, you will immediately feel a lot better as you will be on the road to recovery.
