Tooth pain can arise from various factors specific to your oral health. One common cause is tooth decay, where harmful bacteria in your mouth produce acids that erode the protective enamel, exposing the sensitive inner layers of your tooth. Additionally, gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis, can lead to tooth pain when inflammation and infection affect the surrounding tissues and tooth roots. Tooth fractures, often resulting from trauma or excessive force while chewing hard substances, can also induce pain by exposing the tooth’s pulp. Dental abscesses, characterized by pockets of pus due to bacterial infection at the tooth’s root, can be intensely painful. 

If you have sensitive teeth, it could be due to exposed dentin or receding gums, making them more responsive to temperature and stimuli. Moreover, habits like bruxism or teeth grinding can wear down tooth enamel, leading to discomfort. Impacted wisdom teeth can also cause pain. Identifying the specific cause of your tooth pain is crucial for correct dental treatment and relief.  

Dr. Jeffrey Etess and his team at Integrative Dental Specialists will help determine the exact source of your discomfort and enable you to address it in the most minimally invasive fashion, properly and effectively. 

At Integrative Dental Specialists, we know there is nothing superior to teeth that are biologically your own. Using exclusive dental biomimetic restorative procedures, problematic teeth can be restored back to normal healthy function. We use pioneering therapies like the root canal alternative treatment ToothRegenesisTM, which reestablishes the blood supply to the tooth, revitalizing and making it “live” again. If you must lose a natural tooth, zirconium, titanium and specialty hybrid implants are the best options. Since implants are not teeth, the bone necessary to surgically place implants is not always readily available. Fortunately, we have the technology to harvest your own living bone for self-bone grafts along with the next generation of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) from your blood to allow the placement of implants where they were not once possible.

With offices located off Park Avenue in Manhattan and another on Long Island, Integrative Dental Specialists provide patients with one-of-a-kind, personalized care, ensuring the highest level of dental treatment and accessibility.
