Our Treatments for Dental Emergencies
The treatment you receive for your dental emergency will depend on the nature of your problem. Some common treatments we offer for dental emergencies include:
- Root Canals: Root canals are often necessary when the pulp of the tooth becomes infected. The infection can happen due to decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma to the tooth. Root canals are a standard and relatively simple procedure. The first step is to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. Once you are numb, we will make a small opening in the tooth so that we can access the pulp. We will then remove the infected pulp and cleanse the area. Once the area is clean, we will seal the tooth.
In some cases, a crown may be necessary to protect the tooth. A root canal is an excellent option because it keeps the natural tooth in place. We’d rather save your existing tooth with a root canal than replace it, which can be a more invasive procedure. - Tooth Extractions: In some cases, the best course of action is to extract the tooth. While this may sound scary, we will do everything we can to ensure you are comfortable and safe. The first step is to numb the area around the tooth. Once you are numb, we will gently remove the tooth. You may feel some pressure, but there should be no pain. After the extraction, we will provide you with post-operative instructions and follow-up appointments. We will work with you to ensure your smile is as healthy as possible. And we offer numerous quality restorative dentistry options to provide you with a brand-new, natural-looking, functional tooth replacement.
- Periodontal Treatment: Periodontal (gum) disease is a severe condition that can lead to tooth loss. If you are experiencing bleeding gums, soreness, or redness, you may have periodontal disease. We offer numerous periodontal treatment options depending on the severity of your condition. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.
