What Happens When You Ignore the Pain

Pain often means there’s decay, infection, or damage deep inside the tooth. Without treatment, bacteria can spread, causing the tooth to weaken or die. This can eventually lead to tooth loss and even affect the surrounding teeth and bone structure.

Tooth Loss Affects More Than Your Smile

Losing a tooth can impact how you eat, speak, and feel about your appearance. It can also lead to bone loss in the jaw, shifting of other teeth, and long-term oral health issues.

Prevention Is Easier Than You Think

Regular dental checkups and early treatment are key. Procedures like root canal therapy, crowns, or even implants can save your natural tooth or replace a lost one with a strong, functional alternative.
