September is Pain Awareness Month, a time to focus on managing and relieving all types of pain – including the kind that starts in your mouth. At Copperfield Dentistry, we understand how disruptive dental discomfort can be. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp sting, or lingering sensitivity, tooth and jaw pain can interfere with your sleep, meals, and even your mood.

Fortunately, there are proven dental solutions that can stop dental discomfort and restore your quality of life. If you’re hurting, call us today at 281-643-0316. We’ll do our best to offer you a same-day appointment.

In the meantime here are seven ways our team can help:

1. Tooth Fillings

Cavities are one of the most common sources of tooth pain. Our tooth-colored fillings repair small areas of decay quickly and comfortably. These fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and stop pain in its tracks while preserving your smile.

2. Dental Crowns

When a tooth is severely damaged or weakened by decay, a dental crown can provide lasting relief. A crown covers the entire tooth, protecting it from further damage and eliminating sensitivity or pain caused by pressure or temperature changes.

3. Tooth Replacement With Dental Implants or Bridges

Missing teeth don’t just affect your appearance. They can also shift your bite and lead to discomfort or jaw pain. We offer dental implants and bridges to replace missing teeth. Both options restore your bite and stop dental discomfort caused by misalignment or pressure on neighboring teeth. 

A bridge can replace one tooth or several teeth in a row. Implants can be used with crowns, bridges, or even dentures. Depending on the restoration chosen, they can replace any number of missing teeth. 

4. Gum Disease Treatment

Gum infections can cause swelling, bleeding, and painful chewing. At Copperfield Dentistry, we provide thorough cleanings and deep scaling treatments to fight gum disease at the source. With early intervention, we can relieve gum pain and help you maintain a healthier smile.

5. Root Canal Therapy

If a tooth is infected deep inside, a root canal is often the best way to save it and relieve the pain. Our gentle root canal treatments remove the infected tissue, clean the tooth interior, and seal it to prevent future issues. This stops your pain while preserving your tooth.

6. Tooth Removal 

Sometimes, the best way to stop dental discomfort is to remove the source of the problem. This can include teeth that are too damaged to repair or wisdom teeth that are crowding your smile. We provide comfortable, expert tooth extractions when necessary for lasting relief.

7. TMJ Treatment with Night Guards or Invisalign

If your jaw aches, clicks, or locks, you may have a TMJ disorder. Teeth grinding and bite misalignment are common culprits. We offer custom night guards to protect your teeth and relax your jaw, and Invisalign clear aligners to correct bite problems. Both are effective ways to ease pressure and stop discomfort.

At Copperfield Dentistry, we believe no one should have to live with dental pain. This Pain Awareness Month, take the first step toward relief. Whether your discomfort is new or has been bothering you for a while, our team is here with solutions that work.
