September is Pain Awareness Month — a reminder that you don’t have to live with discomfort, especially when it comes to your teeth and gums. At Monmouth Dental Arts, we’re committed to helping patients find lasting relief from dental pain through advanced, personalized care.

If you’re hurting, call us at 732-686-6337 ASAP. We’ll always do our best to see you on the same day. In the meantime, check out seven ways we can help you end dental pain and get your oral health back on track:

1. Non-Metal Fillings for Cavities or Minor Damage

Tooth pain is often caused by cavities or minor cracks. Our non-metal, tooth-colored fillings restore the structure of your tooth while blending in naturally with your smile. They’re a fast, effective, and mercury-free way to stop sensitivity and prevent the problem from getting worse.

2. Crowns for More Extensive Damage

If your tooth is badly worn, cracked, or has a large area of decay, a dental crown may be the best solution. A crown covers the entire tooth, restoring its strength and function while protecting it from further damage. Once placed, crowns often bring instant relief from pain and discomfort.

3. Root Canal Therapy for Infected Teeth

A deep, aching pain may mean an infection has reached the nerve of your tooth. Root canal treatment removes the infection, seals the tooth, and ends the pain — while helping you keep your natural tooth. It’s a safe, effective solution to save a damaged tooth and avoid extraction.

4. Replace Missing Teeth with Implants or Bridges

Missing teeth can cause bite issues, jaw strain, and discomfort in surrounding teeth. We offer durable, natural-looking dental implants (which can be used with crowns, bridges, and even dentures) to fill the gap. Implants restore chewing function and bring your smile back into balance. If implants aren’t for you, you can replace missing teeth with a traditional fixed bridge. 

5. Tooth Removal, Including Wisdom Teeth

Sometimes, the best way to end dental pain is to remove the source, If a tooth is severely decayed, broken beyond repair, or impacted (as wisdom teeth often are), that means removing it. We offer gentle, precise extractions to relieve pain and promote faster healing. Once your extraction site has healed, we’ll help you select the right tooth replacement. 

6. TMJ Treatment for Jaw & Head Pain

Chronic jaw pain, headaches, or popping sounds when you chew may point to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. We treat TMJ with custom mouthguards to reduce nighttime grinding and clenching, or Invisalign orthodontics to correct your bite alignment. These are both proven ways to relieve jaw stress and end related pain.

7. Gum Disease Treatment & Gum Grafting

Inflamed or receding gums can cause ongoing pain and sensitivity. We offer treatments for gum disease, including deep cleanings, to eliminate infection and promote healing. For receding gums, gum grafting will restore lost tissue, protect your roots, and improve both comfort and appearance.

Dental pain doesn’t go away on its own, and you don’t have to wait to feel better. At Monmouth Dental Arts, we’ll help you end dental pain with expert care tailored to your needs.
