Some times the dental pain or toothache starts at a very advanced stage of damage to the tooth. Dental X-Rays help in detecting the underlying bone defects and bone loss associated with such damaged teeth. These teeth may also give rise to swelling of the cheeks and other areas of the face. Tooth extraction can give you relief and is required for the healing process to start along with antibiotics and painkillers.

Sometimes the teeth may crack and vertically fractured teeth need to be extracted.

Dr. Saritha can assure you of a pain free comfortable treatment experience.
