Many people don't see a dentist on a regular basis. Most see a dentist only when they have a problem. One reason may be that most dental problems don’t show any symptoms until at an advanced stage. Tooth decay is one such example. It doesn't hurt until the decay reaches the nerve of the tooth.
At Dr Matar’s office we call this "crisis treatment" as opposed to "preventive treatment”. We hear all the time, "Nothing hurts... I don't have any problems". But tooth decay doesn't hurt! That is until it gets close to the nerve of the tooth.
Regular dental check-ups are a good way to avoid an emergency visit. Dr. Matar can easily detect these types of problems at an early stage. If detected early, many dental problems can be treated with a small filling as opposed to a more advanced procedure such as a crown or root canal.
However, if you do have an emergency procedure, Dr. Matar and his staff can treat the problem and have your smile as good as new. If you are experiencing pain or discomfort, contact Dr. Matar at 818-439-4203. |
