A Patient’s Desperate Search for Relief
At Dental Arts San Diego, we recently met a patient who came to us in intense discomfort. His toothache had started subtly but quickly grew into a relentless pain, forcing him to seek urgent care. Upon examination, we discovered the source of his agony: a broken metal filling with a fracture line reaching down to the bone. Each throb of his tooth was a reminder of the damage lurking within, a ticking time bomb of pain that was only getting worse.
The Hidden Danger Beneath the Surface
The fracture in his filling had exposed his tooth to invading bacteria, creating a pathway down to the bone. With each passing day, the damaged tooth allowed more bacteria to seep in, triggering infection and paving the way for an abscess. The swelling pressure from this growing infection was relentless, making even the simplest activities—like chewing or talking—a painful ordeal. He knew the situation wouldn’t get better on its own; he needed an intervention to stop the pain and prevent the infection from spreading.
A Swift, Compassionate Surgical Solution
Understanding the urgency, we quickly created a plan to remove the fractured tooth and eliminate the infection before it could worsen. Our team performed a delicate yet thorough procedure, freeing him from the relentless ache plaguing him. With the infected area cleaned and the damaged tooth removed, he finally felt the pressure release, allowing him to heal and rest without fear of the pain returning. For the first time in days, he felt peace.
