If you have a tooth problem, chances are you don't know it. Most tooth problems develop over time and a patient is not aware of that problem until tooth ache pain occurs. Yet a dentist would be aware of the problem before this pain begins if a dental examination is done. This is why it is important to see a dentist regularly. Of course other problems like accidents cannot be foreseen and that is why it is a good idea to have an emergency dentist who can see you and fix the problem as soon as possible.

       Probably the most common tooth problem is a toothache. A toothache can be caused by any number of different things and can range from a mild problem that is easily fixed to a serious oral health problem that requires serious dental treatment. The toothache can be caused by as simple a thing as food being stuck between the teeth and can easily be fixed by brushing and flossing. More serious causes of toothache pain include cavities, a tooth abscess or a dead tooth. In the most severe cases a root canal or a tooth extraction are required for treatment.

       A tooth problem can also be cosmetic, like a badly shaped tooth, staining or fluorosis. Cosmetic dentistry procedures can be used to fix these problems. A problem with the wisdom tooth can cause other oral health problems and should be treated immediately. An accident like a knocked out tooth or chipped tooth are also problems that can be dealt with easily if the patient knows the proper things to do after the accident.
