Do Not Ignore a Toothache as You Enjoy Your Holiday Treats.

It’s okay…we know you will be enjoying more sweet treats than you normally do.  It is all part of the holidays.  You know the protocol - brush frequently, floss often and rinse your mouth out to avoid the ravages of tooth decay.

The important thing is DO NOT let a toothache continue in hopes that it goes away.  Your mouth is talking TO you rather than FOR you.  It is telling you to have a qualified dentist look closely at the problem.

The good folks at Blackman and Bliss are trained to spot problems right away.  Maybe it is nothing.  Maybe you need a filling or even a root canal.  It is important to discover this early in 2015, especially if your new insurance coverage has kicked in.

Do not delay!  At the first sign of oral discomfort call your Bloomingdale, Carol Stream and Wheaton area dentist, Blackman and Bliss at (630) 260-0333 and have a brighter 2015.
