Dental Emergencies: Do You Have One?
Not all dental problems are emergencies, but when they are, knowing the signs can help you take action quickly to prevent further damage or complications. Ignoring dental pain or injury can lead to serious health issues, so knowing when to seek help is crucial. We recommend seeking urgent dental care if you are experiencing one or more of the following:
- Severe or unrelenting oral pain or toothache
- Broken, loose, or knocked-out teeth
- Gum or mouth bleeding
- Swelling
- Loss of an implant or crown
- Infection or abscess
- Mouth or jaw injury
Lasting Relief With Root Canals
We offer root canals to save teeth that are badly damaged or infected. Teeth have a substance called pulp inside of them. If pulp gets infected, it can cause immense pain and further dental problems. You may need a root canal if you have a severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, or tooth discoloration. The procedure involves eliminating the infected pulp, cleaning and sanitizing the tooth’s interior, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further issues. Our skilled dentists prioritize your comfort and utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure the best outcomes.
