Fast and Reliable Treatment
Just simply eating a meal or tripping on the sidewalk can put you in immense oral pain. No matter what happened or how embarrassed you may be, we’ll take care of you. You or your loved ones deserve fast and effective attention to ease your pain and begin the repair process. It’s essential to treat emergency dental problems as quickly as possible to both dissipate the pain and prevent further complications. If left untreated, oral issues can cause a litany of problems down the line. They can cause permanent damage to your mouth, teeth, and overall health. We offer emergency care that includes CEREC and the following:
Root Canal Therapy
Cracks, decay, and other damage to your teeth can expose the roots and soft tissue to bacteria and lead to an infection. Our caring team removes the infected tissue, cleans out the canals and chamber, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. It’s essential to treat an infected tooth with root canal therapy as soon as possible to avoid additional dental damage, including developing an abscess and tooth loss.
Extractions
If you have a tooth that’s incurred decay or damage too substantial to repair, our dental staff may have to extract it. The process of extracting a tooth helps to protect the rest of your mouth from experiencing issues, as well, and it relieves the discomfort of a severely damaged tooth. At our practice, we only perform a tooth extraction when repair is not an option. During the procedure, our team will make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. We will also help you choose a replacement solution that suits your needs.
Other Causes for Dental Emergencies
Spontaneous accidents aren’t the only things that cause dental emergencies. We operate on a wide range of causes for action, including lingering oral problems, growing infections, nerve damage, and others. If you haven’t been properly taking care of your oral health, small issues can evolve into painful and dangerous infections that culminate in a need for us to intervene. A toothache isn’t a sign of your mouth being fine and healthy. If you’ve been noticing soreness, pain, or anything else making your teeth and mouth uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to give us a call and schedule an appointment.
