If you or a family member is experiencing significant swelling and severe pain, contact us right away. These symptoms often point to an infection that needs treatment as soon as possible. For issues like a chipped tooth or a crown that needs re-cementation, those can typically be handled during regular 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.
