If you have constant pain in one of your teeth that will not go away, this can be a sign of a bacterial infection that requires professional treatment. Because an untreated tooth infection risks spreading throughout other parts of your body, seeking emergency care not only relieves your pain but can prevent serious additional harm as well. The pain you feel is due to the body’s inflammatory response pushing against the sensitive nerve endings in your pulp. When you seek treatment, we can perform a root canal therapy to remove the infection and end the inflammation.
At your Prairie Village, KS, dentist’s office, we know that oral threats can strike when you least expect. This is why we provide emergency care for all manner of injuries to your mouth. We can examine your tooth when you feel pain and help determine its source. By performing a root canal therapy, we can remove your infection and place a dental crown to restore the full function of your tooth.
