Common Dental Emergencies
One of the most common dental emergencies is probably a tooth infection, also called a root infection. This issue requires a root canal treatment to rid you of pain and prevent the need for extraction.
When you have a root infection, it means an infection deep in your tooth’s root canal. To treat the issue, your dentist numbs the area and gently extracts the infected pulp and tissue. The next step is sealing the tooth to encourage healing.
At a follow-up visit, we typically crown the tooth to prevent future issues, including breakage.
Other common dental emergencies include tooth injury, tooth knocked-out, damaged restoration.
Signs of a dental emergency include:
- Toothache
- Jaw pain
- Jaw swelling
- Bleeding
