Dental issues, even if they seem like they\u2019re totally painless, can easily escalate into more serious problems without proper intervention. For instance, if the nerve inside of the tooth becomes irreversibly damaged due to severe infection, you might experience a halt in your pain\u2014however, the infection still remains and can worsen if left untreated to the point where it threatens your overall health. Of course, your dental health will still be at great risk, too; even total tooth loss is a realistic possibility. <\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">A dentist can capably diagnose the root cause of the pain, recommend appropriate treatments, and ensure that your oral health is restored\u2014none of which you can bank on doing yourself at home. The disappearance of a toothache might seem like a blessing, but you shouldn\u2019t be fooled\u2014ignoring dental problems often leads to serious consequences, and the pain\u2019s desertion is a clear sign that it\u2019s time to seek professional care.<\/p><h2>About the Practice <\/h2><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The team at Pearl Dentistry has proudly served families in the Denver area for several years under the leadership of Dr. Stefanie Walker and Dr. Amanda Pooler.
