Consultation & Possible Treatment

Consultation & Possible Treatment

During your comprehensive emergency consultation, your endodontist will use advanced diagnostic imaging (including 3-D CBCT scans) and clinical findings to present you with treatment options and prognoses. Should endodontic treatment be warranted and you decide to proceed, you will be numbed with local anesthesia.

Follow Up

Follow Up

Once your endodontic treatment is completed, your endodontist will recommend you follow up with your general dentist within 30 days for a permanent filling or restoration, if applicable. In certain cases, you will also need to follow up at specific intervals with Dr. Lauren Belous per the American Association of Endodontics Trauma Guidelines to ensure your tooth has returned to full functionality and comfort.

Dental Emergencies

Sudden Pain or Swelling

Sudden pain or swelling in your mouth can be a sign of infection or other serious dental issues. Waiting to seek treatment may allow the problem to worsen, so fast action is essential. Our team provides quick and compassionate care to diagnose the source of your pain, manage infection, and restore your comfort.

Traumatic Dental Injuries

Accidents can lead to unexpected dental injuries, from knocked-out teeth to severe fractures. Immediate attention is crucial to save your tooth and prevent complications. We are here to address your emergency with compassion so you can recover swiftly.

Cracked or Fractured Teeth

Cracked teeth can cause sharp pain, sensitivity, and even lead to infection if left untreated. Whether it’s a minor fracture or a deep crack, seeking immediate care is essential to prevent further damage. Our endodontic team specializes in evaluating and treating cracked teeth to preserve your natural tooth and relieve discomfort.

The Benefits of Emergency Endodontic Care

Relieves Tooth Pain

Emergency endodontic treatment quickly alleviates your toothache by removing traumatized or infected structure and the inflamed pulp tissue (nerves and blood vessels).

Prevents the Spread of Infection

You can prevent dental abscesses from forming and infection from spreading by having emergency endodontic treatment.

Preserves Your Natural Teeth

By restoring the health and functionality of your natural tooth with endodontic treatment, you can help avoid the need for an extraction.
