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. Our Las Vegas emergency dentists are specialized in delivering root canals in a manner that provides most comfort, and ease of mind.
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.
