If you find yourself experiencing an onset toothache, it can disrupt your entire day. If this pain does not go away quickly, please call your dentist right away. This symptom may indicate a serious infection that without treatment, could spread throughout the bloodstream to other parts of your body. By taking an X-ray of your problem tooth, we can determine if foreign material is creating an infection. If so, we will perform root canal therapy to clear the tooth’s chamber and offer immediate relief. Because this procedure permanently alters the structure of your tooth, we can design a custom dental crown to restore your bite and the appearance of your smile.
At your Prairie Village, KS, dental office, we know that dental emergencies can occur at a moment’s notice. While you may not expect a tooth infection, having a plan in place to respond quickly can help you find the relief you desire. That is why we offer appointments outside of your standard checkup schedule to identify the source of your pain and offer a procedure to remove its source. If you have any questions about situations that require emergency treatment, feel free to ask us at any time.
