What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you’re in pain or something feels wrong, don’t wait. Dental emergencies can escalate quickly and lead to more serious issues if left untreated.
Common Emergency Situations:
- Severe toothaches
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Knocked-out teeth
- Swelling or abscesses
- Lost crowns or fillings
- Bleeding gums or trauma
If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, call us. We’ll help you decide what to do next.
Root Canal Therapy for Pain Relief
When a tooth becomes infected or inflamed deep inside, a root canal may be necessary to save it. This procedure removes the damaged tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal:
- Persistent pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- Pimple-like bump on the gum
Our root canal treatments are designed to be as comfortable and efficient as possible. We use modern tools and techniques to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery.
Tooth Extractions When Necessary
Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged to save. In these cases, a tooth extraction may be the best option to relieve pain and protect your overall oral health.
Reasons for Extraction:
- Severe decay
- Impacted wisdom teeth
- Infection
- Trauma
- Overcrowding
We perform extractions with care and precision, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout the process. Afterward, we’ll discuss options for replacing the tooth, such as implants or bridges.
