What are the treatment options for an infected tooth?

Why are my teeth decaying so fast?
Tooth decay takes time to form and grow. If you have not been regular about seeing a dentist then cavities can go unnoticed and neglected, in which case when you do go to the dentist, then it can feel like everything is decaying at once. However, those cavities have been forming for some time. READ MORE
Why do I still have bad breath after brushing my teeth?
Make sure in addition to brushing you are flossing. Flossing removes the food and debris that likes to lodge itself in between teeth and cause gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. You can also start introducing mouth rinses to help reduce oral bacteria as well as drinking more water. READ MORE
Can sinus infections cause tooth pain?
A sinus infection does not cause tooth pain per say. However, having a sinus infection can make the upper teeth feel as though you are experiencing tooth pain due to proximity of the sinus to the upper teeth root ends. For a sinus infection see your primary care doctor to rule out a sinus infection before seeking out a dentist. READ MORE

However, due to the position of the wisdom teeth, the pain can radiate and feel as though other facial structures including the sinus, ear, head, and jaw are also aching. See your dentist to rule out the cause of the pain and for recommended treatment. READ MORE
What are the benefits of a dental bridge?
