Root Canals
As many as 15 million people have root canals in America each year. What once was considered an extremely painful procedure is now a simple and relatively painless treatment. If your teeth become infected, it can become serious by spreading throughout your body. One of the best ways to combat this outside of tooth extraction is with a root canal, which consists of removing the infection, disinfecting and cleaning the tooth, and filling.
Emergency Dentistry FAQs
A visit to the dentist as soon as possible is always best to determine what can be done for you and to prevent the situation from possibly getting worse or more painful.
A dental emergency is when you are in acute pain, have swelling, or have had an accident that involves the front teeth or a broken tooth causing pain that needs immediate attention.
This depends on the cause of the pain. Antibiotics and pain medication are often required to relieve the pain.
Reviews
I was a walk-in with no appointment. I had severe gum-related tooth pain in the area around a dental bridge. The receptionist at the front desk was ready to help and they took me in immediately. Dr. Ellison did not waste time but examined me and decided on a course of action (she started with a deep cleaning in two phases spread over two days to be followed up by antibiotics). I felt that they greatly cared for me. The whole staff was great, helpful, and understanding. Thank you all so much!
