Answers to the questions our patients ask most often.

01

Toothache at night: where to go in Yerevan

Severe toothache can be caused by deep tooth decay, pulpitis, inflammation around the tooth, wisdom tooth problems or other causes. When pain starts at night, waiting until the next day is not always the right decision.

When choosing a 24-hour dental clinic in Yerevan, it is important that you can not only be seen at night, but also receive a proper medical examination and any emergency care you need.

32 24/7 Dental Clinic is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including at night.

02

Is getting a dental implant painful?

Dental implant placement is usually performed under local anesthesia, so the patient should not feel sharp pain during the procedure.

Afterwards, some pain, swelling or discomfort is possible. How much depends on the extent of the surgery and on individual factors.

Before implant placement, the doctor assesses the condition of the teeth, gums and bone. If needed, a 3D X-ray scan is taken so the implant placement can be planned safely.

03

How long does dental implant treatment take?

The length of the full implant process is different for every patient.

Placing the implant itself can be done in a relatively short time, but fitting the final tooth — the crown — usually requires further treatment stages and time for healing.

If bone grafting, a tooth extraction or other preparatory treatment is needed, the overall timeline may be longer.

That is why the exact timeline for dental implant treatment is determined after an examination and an individual treatment plan.

04

When does a wisdom tooth need to be removed?

A wisdom tooth does not always need to be removed. If it is correctly positioned, has fully erupted and causes no problems, the doctor may recommend keeping it.

Removal may be necessary if the tooth is growing at the wrong angle, cannot fully erupt, causes recurring inflammation or damages the neighboring tooth.

The decision is made after an examination by the doctor and, if needed, an X-ray.

05

When should a child have their first dental check-up?

It is best for a child to have their first dental examination at an early age — not only to detect problems, but also to gradually get them used to the dental environment.

Decay in baby teeth also needs attention. Although baby teeth are temporary, their condition can affect a child's eating, sleep, overall comfort and the development of permanent teeth.

The first visit to a pediatric dentist can simply be a preventive check-up, even if the child has no complaints.

06

How to prepare your child for a dental visit

Avoid frightening your child when talking about the dentist, and avoid phrases such as "it won't hurt", "don't be scared" or "you have to be brave".

It is better to present the visit as an ordinary doctor's appointment and let your child ask questions. The doctor, in turn, can explain each step in language the child understands and choose the right approach.

In pediatric dentistry, trust between the doctor and the child is an important part of treatment.

07

Are braces only for children and teenagers?

No. Orthodontic treatment can also be carried out in adults.

The choice of braces depends on the position of the teeth, the features of the bite, the goals of treatment and other factors. In some cases, other orthodontic solutions are also possible.

The length and method of treatment are determined after an individual orthodontic examination.

08

When is root canal treatment needed?

Root canal treatment may be needed when the pulp — the nerve and blood vessel tissue inside the tooth — becomes inflamed or infected.

This can come with severe or spontaneous pain, pain at night, or prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold food — and in some cases, no obvious symptoms at all.

Timely treatment can make it possible to save the natural tooth and prevent the infection from spreading further.

09

Is sensitivity after a filling normal?

In some cases, short-term sensitivity can occur after a filling, especially to cold or hot food.

However, if the pain gets stronger, lasts a long time, appears on its own or especially at night, you should see your doctor again.

The cause may be not just temporary sensitivity related to the filling, but a deeper problem inside the tooth.

10

Why get professional cleaning if I brush every day?

Daily brushing and flossing are important for keeping your mouth healthy, but they cannot always fully remove hardened tartar or the plaque that builds up in certain areas.

During a professional hygiene session, the dentist or hygienist can remove tartar and, as needed, perform Airflow cleaning and polish the teeth.

Professional cleaning is part of preventive care and does not replace your daily oral hygiene.
