Am I Experiencing a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies often happen suddenly and without warning. Accidents during physical activities, such as tripping or sporting mishaps, can result in immediate and significant harm. Persistent toothaches tend to intensify and worsen gradually. An immediate, proactive approach can help mitigate dental issues and prevent further complications. We recommend coming in for emergency dental treatment if:
- Your toothaches are constant or extremely painful
- Your teeth that have become loose or have been knocked out
- Your gums are bleeding or swelling.
- You have sudden or chronic jaw pain or dysfunction
- You’ve been struck by oral disease or infection
How Does a Root Canal Work?
The process of a root canal involves removing infected pulp from inside a tooth. If the pulp gets infected, it can result in intense pain and trigger further harm and decay. It can also inhibit the ability to eat, chew, and speak. During root canal procedures, we carefully and safely make an entrance point into the affected tooth and eliminate the infected pulp. After the pulp is removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the tooth and apply a sealant to prevent the infection from returning.
