The sudden onset of severe pain in one of your teeth can bring your life to a screeching halt. While your ability to think clearly may diminish from oral pain, having a plan to seek emergency dental care can help you find desirable relief. If you feel inclined to wait out this symptom, please reconsider. A constant toothache can indicate a serious infection that when untreated, can spread throughout other parts of your body. This means that timely care is of the essence in reducing the overall effects of your infection. Because your pain is caused by inflamed tissues impinging your sensitive dental nerves, root canal therapy can remove infected tissue to cure your symptoms and reduce your inflammation.
At your Prairie Village, KS dental practice, we are standing by to assist you whenever you need our services most. Because you cannot always predict when a dental emergency will occur, having our number at hand can expedite receiving quality care. We will inspect your tooth to determine the nature of your pain, and let you know what procedures can provide relief. When performing a root canal, we can reduce your symptoms by removing the infection and sealing your tooth to prevent bacterial access to the inner pulp chamber.
