Typical
Dental Emergencies

  • Toothache/Tooth Pain: This often results from a severe cavity, infection, or injury. The pain can be intense and disrupt daily life, necessitating immediate dental attention.
  • Broken Filling: A broken filling can cause tooth sensitivity, pain, and potential infection. Ignoring it can lead to further damage and increasing discomfort, underlining the importance of prompt dental care.
  • Abscess: An abscess is an infection in the tooth or gums that causes pain, swelling, fever, and difficulty swallowing. Immediate dental care is not only necessary but also your best defense to treat abscesses and avoid complications, putting you in control of your dental health.
  • Tooth Fracture: Fractures typically result from trauma, grinding, or biting hard objects. If untreated, the fracture can worsen, endangering the tooth’s health.
  • Crown Coming Off: Crowns protect weak or damaged teeth. When they come off, the tooth underneath is exposed and vulnerable, requiring prompt attention.
  • Swollen/Bleeding Gums: Swollen gums may indicate gum disease or infection and, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Emergency dental care helps diagnose and treat the issue, preventing further damage.

Getting a Root Canal

The thought of a root canal can be unsettling. However, progress in dental technology and
techniques has made root canals straightforward, similar to receiving a routine filling. Our
procedures are designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth, enhancing oral health and
well-being. Our Las Vegas emergency dentists specialize in delivering root canals with the
utmost comfort and ease of mind.

A root canal treatment involves removing the inflamed or infected pulp within a tooth. The area is then thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before being filled and sealed. This procedure is designed to eradicate bacteria from the infected root canal and protect the tooth from future infections.

When would you need a root canal

A root canal becomes necessary when experiencing common symptoms that our emergency dentists frequently treat. These signs include:

  • Severe pain when biting or chewing
  • Persistent sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
  • Swollen, tender gums
  • Deep decay or darkening of the gums
  • Pimples on the gums

By opting for a root canal at The Dentist, you can alleviate pain, prevent further infection, and preserve your natural tooth, all while ensuring your comfort during the procedure.  For more information on root canals, please contact us here.

Questions on Emergency Dental Services? Check our
FAQ

What is a dental emergency?

Any dental issue requiring immediate care is considered a dental emergency. While not always life-threatening, urgent dental treatment is essential if you have uncontrollable bleeding, persistent discomfort, or fractured facial bones. Call us for emergency dental care in Las Vegas, and our team will assist in stabilizing the issue and relieving pain.

What is considered a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any issue that needs to be addressed right away in order to prevent more damage, halt bleeding, relieve excruciating pain, or treat an infection. These may include:

  • A severe toothache
  • Tooth extrusion
  • A knocked-out tooth 
  • Sudden tooth pain
  • Any bleeding or swelling within the gums or the mouth
  • An abscessed tooth
  • Infection

If you do not identify with the following and are still experiencing any excruciating pain or excessive bleeding, then it needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

What do I do in a dental emergency?

Call a dentist during business hours. If it’s outside of regular business hours, other care options may include the ER, or an urgent care center.

If it’s outside of business hours, can I go to the ER for a dental emergency?

Although most ER’s don’t have the tools to provide dental care for a dental emergency, they are able to provide treatment to stabilize and control bleeding, control severe pain, and provide treatment for dental fractures.

What is the most common dental emergency?

Since they contain multiple causes such as infections, oral injuries, dental decay, teeth worms, and crooked teeth, toothache and gum bleeding stand out as the most common dental emergency.

What services can we provide?

We cover any dental accidents ranging from abscessed tooth removal, emergency fillings, broken fillings, fractured teeth, broken retainers, and anything to suit your needs.

How soon should a dentist see you in an emergency?

As soon as possible. If access to a dentist is unavailable, urgent care and the ER are other options. It is imperative to alleviate any bleeding or pain caused by a dental emergency.

What is a root canal?

The purpose of a root canal treatment is to remove diseased or inflammatory pulp from inside teeth. The tooth is then meticulously cleansed, disinfected, filled, and sealed. The goals of root canal therapy are to save the normal tooth, stop the infection from spreading, and eradicate germs from the diseased root canal.

Is root canal so painful?

No. A common misconception about root canals is that they’re extremely painful because the previous generation of dental technology was less advanced than it is is now. Nowadays you should almost always not feel any pain.
