Emergency Root Canal
A painful tooth can cause discomfort during eating, sleeping or focusing on work. It might be sharp, throbbing or continuous. Sometimes, there could be swelling, sensitivity or pain while chewing. We understand how scary it could be to experience such pain. But timely care can save the tooth and prevent further spread of infection.
At Bombay Dental Specialities, we offer emergency root canal treatment which focuses on pain relief, infection control and comfort. We perform a thorough examination, discuss the most secure way forward and start treatment in a relaxed and gentle manner.
First of all, we examine the tooth in order to identify the source of pain. If necessary, we use modern dental equipment to determine whether the tooth nerve is infected, inflamed or injured. Some of the reasons to seek urgent treatment include severe toothache, swelling, deep caries, injury, crack or pain while biting.
Then, we numb the area to ensure maximum comfort during the treatment procedure. First, we relieve the pressure and eliminate pain. Then, we remove the pulp from the infected tooth and clean the root canals.
Next, we disinfect and seal the cleaned canals to prevent further infection. Finally, we fill the tooth.
Depending on the condition of the tooth and extent of infection, emergency root canal treatment may be performed in one or two appointments. During the entire treatment procedure, we explain each step clearly to keep you well-informed and relaxed.
Emergency root canal treatment can relieve the pain and reduce the pressure on the tooth instantly. It helps control the infection inside the tooth by removing the pulp and cleaning the root canals.
It helps prevent the spread of infection into gums, bone or surrounding tissues. In many cases, it also helps preserve the natural tooth rather than extracting it. After proper restoration, chewing becomes easier and normal.
One more benefit is that you don’t have to wait until the situation becomes worse, but can receive timely treatment to save your tooth.
When do I need an emergency root canal?
You may require urgent consultation in case of severe toothache, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, pain while biting, deep cavities, or a cracked or broken tooth.
Is emergency root canal treatment painful?
We numb the area prior to performing the procedure. The aim of the procedure is to relieve the pain. You may feel some soreness after treatment, but it will subside soon.
How many visits are required?
Some cases of emergency root canal treatment can be done in one appointment, and other cases may require two appointments.
Do I need a crown after root canal treatment?
In some cases, yes. If the tooth requires additional protection, we may suggest installing a crown after root canal treatment.
