Common Dental
Emergencies
- Toothache/ Tooth Pain: usually occurs due to a severe cavity, infection, or injury. It can be unbearable and disrupt daily activities, making it necessary to seek dental care right away
- Broken filling: can result in tooth sensitivity, pain, and even infection. Neglecting a broken filling can lead to further damage to the tooth, and the pain can become unbearable.
- Abscess: occurs when there is an infection in the tooth or gums. They can be painful and cause swelling, fever, and difficulty in swallowing. Prompt dental care is essential to treat abscesses and prevent further complications
- Tooth fracture: typically occur due to trauma, grinding, or biting hard objects. If left untreated, the fracture can worsen and compromise the health of the tooth
- Crown coming off: Crowns are necessary to protect weak or damaged teeth, and when they come off, the underlying tooth can be left exposed and vulnerable
- Swollen/bleeding gums: Swollen gums can be a sign of gum disease or infection. They can be painful and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Emergency dental care can help diagnose and treat the underlying issue, preventing further damage to the gums and teeth.
Root Canal
The thought of a root canal can be intimidating to a lot of people. However, with advancements in dental technology and techniques, root canals have become a straightforward procedure that is similar to receiving a routine filling. Our procedures are designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth, enhancing your oral health and well-being.
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that involves the removal of the inflamed or infected pulp within a tooth.The area is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed. Root Canal treatments are designed to eradicate bacteria from the infected root canal, and protect the tooth from future infections.
When would I need a root canal?
A root canal is necessary when facing common symptoms that our emergency dentists often treat. Common Signs include:
- Severe pain when biting or chewing
- Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures that persists
- Swollen, tender gums
- Deep decay or darkening of the gums
- Pimples on the gums.
Root canals are firstly done by applying anesthesia to the infected area to make sure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Then, the infected pulp is removed and inside of the tooth meticulously cleaned to make sure no bacteria stays rampant. The tooth is then filled and sealed allowing it to return back to full function.

If it’s outside of business hours, can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?
Although most ER’s don’t have the tools to provide dental care for a dental emergency, they are able to provide treatment to stabilize and control bleeding, control severe pain, and provide treatment for dental fractures.

What is a root canal?
The purpose of a root canal treatment is to remove diseased or inflammatory pulp from inside teeth. The tooth is then meticulously cleansed, disinfected, filled, and sealed. The goals of root canal therapy are to save the normal tooth, stop the infection from spreading, and eradicate germs from the diseased root canal.
Is root canal so painful?
No. A common misconception about root canals is that they’re extremely painful because the previous generation of dental technology was less advanced than it is is now. Nowadays you should almost always not feel any pain.

Only my first visit and I’m already very happy that I chose Smile Vegas Dental. They really show that they care about their patients. I’ve had a debilitating fear of the dentist, and they made sure that they walked me through every step of treatment to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Everyone here knows what they are doing and they all communicate very well with each other. I have already recommended this place to friends and family here. Amazing team!
I'm going to start off with this: I hate going to the dentist. I always have. I've had some awful experiences with dentists growing up, and I always put off going.In my 39 years of life, this was the first time ever that I had a truly pleasant experience at a dentist's office. There was definitely some pain and discomfort as expected, but it was minimal and the staff was overly caring and friendly. Constantly concerned with my comfort level. I have some more work to be done, but I feel so much more at ease about it than I did before I initially walked in the doors. I will definitely be returning to this dentist, and highly recommend others to go here as well.
I was looking for a new dentist that was closer to my house and found Smile Vegas Dental through my insurance provider. I was easily able to schedule my first appointment just within a few days through the dentist’s website. I normally dread going to the dentist and get anxiety with getting my teeth cleaned and other treatments. However, my first visit was great! From the front desk to all the dental staff, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Jon took my dental x-rays and he informed me every step of the way of what he was doing, which I liked. Cassie was gentle in cleaning my sensitive teeth and gums as I didn’t feel any pain like I normally do. Dr. Najand was also very nice and after examining my teeth, he recommended what treatment plan was best for me. Overall, I had a wonderful and positive first time experience at Smile Vegas Dental and I’m happy to have found a dentist that truly cares about their patients.
Everyone was so friendly and I was amazed how thorough they were. I've never experienced this before with a dentist. They weren't rushed and made me feel important. A special thank you to Kathy. She was wonderful and took the time to explain every detail with me. All the dentists and technicians were great. I will recommend this facility to everyone.
Brand new patient here, I had just finished my orthodontic treatment and heard about this dental office through a friend. I came in for a cleaning and whitening and the whole experience was phenomenal. The staff are all super friendly and the dental work that was done was top notch. I'm extremely happy with my smile and would definitely recommend this office to everyone. Dunia was the dental hygienist that took care of me during my visit and she was fantastic!
