If you or a family member experiences swelling and severe pain, do not hesitate to contact our office. Such symptoms usually indicate an infection and should be treated as soon as possible. Chipped teeth and re-cementation of crowns can be treated during regularly scheduled office hours.
Not always. Antibiotics are typically recommended when there is a high risk of infection, such as in cases of severe periodontal disease, oral surgery, or for patients with specific medical conditions. Your dentist will assess your individual needs and determine if antibiotics are appropriate.
Scaling and root planing is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward is normal, but it usually subsides within a few days.
