"My patient needs were addressed professionally and respected. I have felt valued on each of my visits. Thank you."

 
"Every experience with Townesquare Dental has been great! I have had cavities filled, wisdom teeth removed and a skin graft done on my lower gums. They have always taken good care of me. I have always heard horror stories of skin grafts and wisdom teeth from many people and when I had mine done it wasn't a bad experience in the slightest. Everyone that I know who has their wisdom teeth out here at Townesquare Dental has had an amazing experience with little to no pain, swelling or infections afterward. I always recommend Townesquare Dental to anyone looking for more invasive oral procedures." Jordan from Idaho Falls.
 

There are many methods for relieving oral pain. They include:

  • Ice packs on the affected area.
  • Avoiding hard candy or ice.
  • Avoiding sleeping on your stomach.

Dentists use a wide array of pain management tools, including:

  • Anesthetics such as Novocaine.
  • Analgesics such as aspirin or ibuprofen.
  • Sedatives, including a procedure known as "conscious sedation" or general sedation (also known as "deep sedation").
