3 Rotten Upper Right Teeth
This may be a little confusing to look at initially. We are looking a picture of a mirror. This is a mirror reflection of a mans upper jaw or maxillae. The big arrow is pointing to tooth #4, the little arrow to tooth #6. The rotten teeth shown in this picture are rotten to various levels and degrees. Tooth #4 is mostly subgingival (under the gum). This tooth, although the most highly diseased of the three is the least visible and not the one causing the most pain and swelling, although it is highly infected. The little arrow is pointing to tooth #6, an upper right cupid or canine – some call it an eye tooth (many years ago, before the use of antibiotics “one could loose an eye” due to a severely infected upper cuspid.) The infection from this tooth #6 brought this gentleman to my Palm Harbor, Tampa FL area dentist office. Unfortunately, after a round of antibiotics, this man has not returned for treatment for one year. The infection will return and will require extractions and/or root canal therapy.

Rotten teeth and your health
- An Unheathy Mouth
I was reading the Wall Street Journal yesterday, December 27, 2011 when I noticed that the front page was completely devouted to the relationship between oral and systemic health. The article is entittled “If Your Teeth Could Talk . . . “
“We have lots of data showing a direct correlation between inflammation in the mouth and inflammation in the body,” says Anthony Iacopino, director of the International Centre for Oral-Systemic Health, which opened at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry in Canada in 2008.

Best Dentist in Palm Harbor FL goes “above and beyond”
“
Three weeks ago today I ended the constant battle of infection in regards to a portion of my teeth. The pain and agony I was in at many times was unbearable. I can finally say all of the infection is completely gone and much of the color has finally returned back to my complexion. I am proud to say I have regained much if not all of the radiance and color this infection tried to take from me! This is the first time in 20 years I find myself not trying to hide my smile. Though I would have liked to have kept my natural teeth, the time, energy, money spent and constant pain for 20 years proved no longer worth the effort. The only person who knows more about your own body than these professionals is yourself. I don’t see the loss of my teeth as conceding defeat, but as a new beginning. The fight between pain and me is now over. I am here ready to begin a new journey with a positive outlook with no ache and a beautiful new smile. There has been one person who has helped lead me to this fresh new start and that man’s name is Doctor Paul Caputo. He was there in my worst times, when I needed someone most and he led and stayed with me through to this new beginning. He shows compassion that goes above and beyond what any individual could expect. He radiates self-assurance that really gives you the confidence and reassurance you need from your physician. He also helped me keep my dignity while this ordeal carried on. I can honestly say Doctor Paul Caputo really has not only physically put the smile back on my face, but figuratively speaking he has put the smile back into my life. ”

Toothache in Tampa FL
- Dental Pain
Everyday in my Palm Harbor, Tampa FL area dental office I see people who suffer from mouth pain. The American Dental Association has quite a bit of information posted on their website for the public. If you are experiencing a dental emergency during normal business hours, seek out a dentist you feel comfortable with. If it is night time, a holiday or the weekend, present to a hospital. Severe dental disease can be life threatening. Research has shown that there is a correlation between periodontal disease and some other diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimers’ disease. Infection from upper teeth can lead to infection spreading to the brain, specifically the Cavernous Sinus.

Badly Decayed Tooth X-ray – Toothache in Palm Harbor FL
- X-ray Decayed Tooth
X-rays themselves are simple. Interpertation of them requires knowlege of what health and disease look like. The big dark area in the back of the middle upper tooth is a deep “cavity”. In my Palm Harbor FL dental office we take digital x-rays. The dark area is considered deep because it touches the pulp or nerve of this molar. This person is in PAIN. Treatment options included extraction or root canal therapy, post & core build-up and a crown. This was all done in my Palm Harbor FL dental office. 727.789.1333
Toothache in Palm Harbor FL

If you are experiencing a severe toothache while reading this, I am sorry. Toothaches can be extremely severe and when dental disease is left untreated it can have very serious and potentially life threatening consequences. If need be, present to the Emergency room of a hospital, then seek out a dentist who you feel comfortable with. The two most common reasons to avoid a needed vist to a dentist are fear and cost. At my Palm Harbor FL dental office, we try our best to assist you in both of these areas. We pledge CARE, its as simple as that. 727 789 1333 Paul L Caputo, DDS
