10: Crown or filling falling out. Crowns and fillings are usually cemented or bonded in your tooth. Over time the cement may degrade and cause your crown or filling to fall off. If your tooth nerve has never been treated with a root canal this could cause sensitivity. In addition without the crown or filling the tooth is compromised. One wrong bite of an apple and the remaining tooth may break. This could cause the dreaded "Cracked Tooth Syndrome".

9: My gums are swollen. Inflammation causes your gums to swell. This can be due to medications, lack of regular dental care, or a combination of reasons.

8. Dental Cavity / Hole in the tooth: Sensitivity can be due exposure of the dental nerve. To fix this schedule a dental exam with TED. Did you know that when you schedule online your fee includes all xrays and diagnosis by a doctor of over ten years of experience. Experience counts. There is a saying that if you go to ten dentist you will get ten different opinions. The truth is answers vary with experienc. TED dentists have a minimum of 10 years of dental working experience.

7. Crown Feels High: If you just had a crown seated sometimes it can feel high. Do you need an appoinntment to have this fixed? Did you know that our dentists can quickly adjust the crown and get you back to work.

6. Pain : Dental pain can be from a variety of sources. One of the more common is a cavity close to the nerve. In this situation if there is enough tooth structure remaining you may need a root canal. TED starts and completes over a 100 hundred root canals each year. Schedule you appointment with our online platform.

5. Wisdom tooth pain: Pain from the wisdom tooth could be due to erupting wisdom tooth. This usually occurs between 13-16 years of age. Pain later from the wisdom teeth could be assoicated with the tissue around the wisdom tooth getting infected, or a cavity in the wisdom tooth.

4. Trauma : Facial trauma can break teeth. Ted has managed and treated several trauma cases over the last 10 years. We have the experience to save teeth and provide amazing solutions.

3. Failed Root Canals: We see a lot of root canal treated teeth that are failing. This could be for various reasons. We can surgically remove these teeth, or refer you a specilist for retreatment.

2. Failing Implants: Implants can fail and cause pain. Early, Late, and progressive implant failure can be managed by TED Dentists.

1. Non restorable Teeth: Teeth that are broken and now are are infected. This is number one dental emergency that we see.
