Is My Situation an Emergency?
If you or a family member is experiencing an atypical dental situation, seeking proper care is essential. First, get medical attention if the issue is due to an accident or trauma and there's a possibility of other health concerns or risks. Contact our office if the concern is purely oral, such as a knocked-out tooth or mouth pain. When in doubt about the severity of your tooth issue, it's always best to call, and we can assess the situation for the next steps. Reasons to call for an emergency include:
A tooth or teeth knocked out by force
Pain that doesn’t subside
Excessive bleeding of teeth or gums
Redness or swelling
Prolonged mouth sores
Puss
Root Canal Therapy for Immediate Relief
One of the most common emergency dental procedures is root canal therapy. Just about everyone cringes when they hear the term. However, today's tools and procedures are light years ahead of how they used to be performed, and most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they feel throughout the process. It is true that the symptoms of a root canal infection cause a great deal of pain and discomfort. For this reason, we work quickly to provide root canal therapy so patients can smile once again with a healthy tooth and root.
