If you experience a toothache that lasts longer than a single day, do not put off telling your dentist. Constant dental pain is the primary symptom of a dangerous infection, that left alone could travel through your bloodstream to other parts of the body. By scheduling an emergency dental appointment, we can see you right away to X-ray your tooth, and determine if treatment is necessary. A root canal procedure can clean out all foreign material and seal the inner tooth chamber to protect your tooth from reinfection. This preserves the majority of your healthy tooth, while immediately dealing with the pain from your inflammatory response. This makes root canal therapy a highly valuable alternative to extracting your problem tooth.
At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies happen when you least expect them. This is why we schedule visits outside of your normal cleaning schedule to provide prompt relief when you need it most. By treating your infection, we prevent further damage from accumulating and can begin planning restorative treatments to repair the damage.
