Dental Emergencies
Emergency Endodontic Care
Are you suffering with a throbbing toothache that just won’t go away? Did you receive a blow to your face or mouth that caused you to lose a tooth? Whatever the reason for your urgent visit, we have appointments for dental emergencies every day.
Many dental emergencies can be handled by a general dentist’s office, but some require treatment by an endodontic specialist. Our endodontists perform emergency root canals, root canal retreatment, and apicoectomies, as well as trauma such as toothache, tooth fractures, or avulsion (knocked-out tooth). Using advanced tools and diagnostic procedures, we’ll discover the cause of your pain and discomfort and have you back to normal in no time!
Sedation for Dental Emergencies
When emergency dental care becomes necessary, often the patient is in considerable pain and distress. We gladly offer sedation dentistry options during your procedure to keep you comfortable while we work. Most patients report that they feel no pain during their treatment thanks to our advanced techniques and gentle touch.
How to Avoid a Dental Emergency
No one likes to undergo unexpected dental procedures. Thankfully, many dental emergencies are avoidable with routine dental care.
- See your general dentist as recommended to identify any problems before they become severe.
- Wear a mouth guard when participating in sporting and other high-impact activities.
- Never use your teeth to open containers or hold items. Your teeth aren’t tools!
