Tooth pain can sneak up on you. Sometimes it starts as a dull ache, and sometimes it hits like a freight train. Either way, it’s not something you want to ignore. So what happens when you’re in severe pain and your regular dentist isn’t available? Can you go to urgent care for tooth pain?

If you’ve noticed your gums pulling away from your teeth or your roots becoming more exposed, you’re not alone. Gum recession is a common condition that can lead to sensitivity, discomfort, and even tooth loss if left untreated. At Plancich Dental, we offer gum grafting—a simple, effective procedure to restore your gum tissue and protect your oral health for years to come.

If you’ve had dental fillings for years, you might be wondering how long they last and when it’s time to consider a replacement. Fillings, whether amalgam or composite, have a lifespan and play a critical role in maintaining your oral health. Over time, fillings can wear down, crack, or cause tooth sensitivity, which signals they may no longer be effectively protecting your teeth from tooth decay.

Since 2013, Dr. Gregory Plancich and Dr. Bryce Plancich have traveled to Guatemala to provide oral health care to those in need.
