Specializes in Pain Management

Dental Pains: In 95% of the pains in the mouth and face to be of dental origin until proved otherwise. Earache can be caused by a wisdom tooth or molar (back tooth) that has not fully erupted through the gum tissue. Rec.: see your dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment.
