Everything you need to know about emergency appointments
What are the signs of an infected tooth?
- Constant toothache
- Lingering tooth sensitivity
- Sore and sensitive jawbone
Will my tooth need to be pulled?
Just because you have a toothache or other dental concern doesn’t mean you need an extraction. We’ll conduct a thorough examination and diagnosis to determine whether or not we can repair the issue with a filling, crown, or root canal. If a dental extraction is necessary, we’ll help you know what to expect and create a plan for replacing the tooth.
Will a toothache go away on its own?
Your toothache may lessen or disappear, but this doesn’t mean the problem has gone away. The longer you wait, the more damage (and discomfort) you risk. Always seek help for a toothache (and avoid a bigger issue) right away.
What should I do if I lose a tooth?
If your tooth is still in one piece, pick it up by the crown (don’t touch the root) and gently rinse it off under running water. Carefully place the tooth back into the socket and call us right away to let us know what happened. The sooner you seek treatment, the better your chances that we can save your tooth.
