There is nothing worse than having a pain in the mouth in south east London: dental pain can halt you in your tracks, so when it crops up, get it looked at as soon as you can. The worst type of pain that can arise is that from a wisdom tooth coming through, an abscess breaking out, or having a tooth knocked; these need immediate attention. The other type of pain can come from tooth decay: caries and full blown decay will leave you reeling from shooting pains whenever something comes into contact with a tooth; in this situation you will require a filling or a root canal in order to save you losing a tooth. Losing a filling, veneer or a crown can also leave your gums and tongue sore from the sharpness, but they can be soothed by gels and painkillers until you get seen. But most dental pain is more commonly felt after you have been worked on by your dentist and there are many procedures that can cause this. Tooth extraction, especially wisdom teeth, can leave you uncomfortable for days and if the healing is not completed, you could suffer from a very painful dry socket. Cosmetic treatments too have a way of leaving you a bit sore: crowns, gum contouring and implants all need a recovery period so you need to be geared up with products to help you get over your treatments.
