Why would I need endodontic emergency care?
When you’re experiencing a damaged or infected tooth, timely care is crucial. The longer you wait, the more likely the affected tooth will need to be extracted. When left untreated, tooth infections can spread to your bloodstream, resulting in more complex, even life-threatening complications. But with emergency treatment from an endodontist, you can find relief from your pain, save your tooth, and get back to living your life to the fullest.

The Endodontic Emergency Treatment Process
Manage Pain & Call Us
If you’re experiencing a toothache or an oral injury, your first step is to manage pain, swelling, or bleeding. Over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, as well as a cold compress, can help reduce your discomfort and swelling. Sterile gauze should also be used to slow any bleeding. It’s important to avoid aspirin or any other blood thinners.
Give us a call and tell us about your situation, and we’ll provide additional recommendations for at-home care, and schedule your emergency visit.
Consultation & Exam
When you arrive at our office, your doctor will thoroughly examine the site of your dental emergency. We will take any necessary diagnostic images, and develop a custom treatment plan to get you out of pain and restore your oral health.
Treatment & Aftercare
After you’ve been approved for treatment, your doctor will perform the necessary procedures. You’ll be numbed with local anesthesia, so you won’t feel a thing. For added comfort, sedation may be recommended. Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you heal properly.
