                Are You In Love? Or In Need of a Root Canal?                      (Irreverent Thoughts on Love and Valentine's Day From a Dental Perspective)

2/11/2015

Love and dentistry tend to run parallel to each other.  Both can be messy, expensive, and painful.  On the flip side, however, when everything is good-it's really good.  Like love, when care is taken and attention paid, your teeth can serve you well and cause no problems.  It’s when you ignore the obvious and don’t take care of things that problems can occur.

 
Other times, the symptoms of love and dental issues tend to mimic each other, so it’s hard to tell whether it’s love or a symptom of something else.  That burning desire you feel-Is it really desire, or is it gum inflammation from not having your teeth cleaned?

When we are in the throes of new love, oftentimes we can’t eat/have no appetite.  When we have a toothache, we may have trouble chewing. Heart throbbing/throbbing pain-is there a difference?

Regardless of what we may experience in the arena of love, or toothaches, the one thing in common is that they can DRIVE YOU CRAZY!

 Happy Valentine’s Day!

Root canal therapy helps in reducing the effects of toothaches in your life as a toothache can literally make life unbearable. It induces a paralyzing pain in the mouth that makes it practically hard for you to eat and also headaches. When it strikes at night then you will suffer from sleepless nights due to the tooth decay and this procedure eradicates all these effects.

Root canal therapy restores the normal sensation and biting force which ensures that your chewing ability remains efficient. Root canal therapy also helps by protecting the other teeth from shouldering unnecessary wear from the excessive straining due to your forced use of only one side of your mouth due to the tooth decay or injury. This will result in your teeth maintaining their natural appearance in the end.

A dental emergency is any damage to your teeth or gums that requires swift treatment. Some of the more common types of dental emergencies includes 1. Loss of one or more teeth during a sporting activity, 2. Traumatic injury to the mouth during a car accident, 3. A chipped or loose tooth that occurs after biting down on something hard.
