What is the longest lasting solution for tooth pain?
The longest lasting solution for tooth pain is to address the root cause. The actual treatment needed may depend on the clinical situation. Sometimes something as simple as a cavity being removed and replaced with a filling may identify the problem. If the nerve of the tooth is involved, a procedure known as a root canal may be needed. If a tooth needs to be taken out and removed, then unfortunately we need to remove the tooth and look at tooth replacement options. The key to permanently relieving dental pain is to identify and address the underlying cause.
