Severe tooth pain or sensitivity can make everyday life unbearable. When a tooth becomes infected or decayed beyond the outer layers, an emergency root canal treatment can save it from extraction and provide immediate relief. At Los Angeles Emergency Dentist, led by Dr. Kudaverdian, we specialize in providing prompt, professional care to restore your oral health and alleviate pain.
A root canal treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further issues. In an emergency setting, this procedure is performed to stop pain and save the tooth from extraction.
Emergency root canal treatments are often necessary for:
Pain caused by deep decay or infection reaching the tooth pulp.
Indications of infection that need immediate treatment to prevent spreading.
Prolonged sensitivity that doesn’t go away after the stimulus is removed.
Cracks or chips that expose the inner layers of the tooth to bacteria.
Not all tooth pain requires a root canal, but some symptoms indicate a need for urgent attention:
At Los Angeles Emergency Dentist, we understand that dental emergencies can be overwhelming. That’s why we prioritize your comfort and provide clear guidance every step of the way.
Our team will perform a thorough examination, including digital X-rays, to identify the source of your pain and determine whether a root canal is necessary.
We use advanced numbing techniques to ensure the procedure is painless. For those with dental anxiety, sedation options are available to help you feel at ease.
The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed.
The root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
The tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.
To protect the treated tooth, we may place a temporary filling or recommend a crown for long-term durability and strength.
Proper care following your treatment is essential for a smooth recovery. Here’s how to promote healing:
Follow your dentist’s instructions for antibiotics or pain relievers.
Stick to soft foods for a few days to avoid putting pressure on the treated tooth.
Brush and floss gently around the treated area to keep it clean.
Return to have a permanent crown or filling placed if recommended.
