There are a lot of reasons for dental emergencies. A toothache in Las Vegas may be the one that comes to mind first. Lots of things can cause a toothache. In kids, it could be something as simple as a new tooth trying to break through. When they’re a little older they could get a toothache from a wisdom tooth trying to come into a space where there’s no room for it.
Tooth decay is another reason people, especially kids, get a toothache in Las Vegas. When bacteria turns to acid in your mouth, it eats away at your tooth and causes decay in the form of a cavity. If you don’t come in and have your cavity taken care of, that decay can cause a lot of infection and pain. It’s not a good idea to ignore that toothache pain because if it gets too bad, you could end up losing your tooth. When the decay of a tooth hits the root, you can expect some pretty bad toothache pain. If you don’t brush and floss every day, the bacteria in your mouth can turn into gum disease that can be painful too. Gum infections will feel like a toothache, and TMJ pain can feel like one too.
