Have you ever needed an emergency dentist? Problems with your teeth or gums should not be ignored. Ignoring an emergency can make matters worse and amplify the risk of terrible damage. This only means you will be spending much more money later on to try and fix a problem that wasn’t too detrimental. If you have any dental emergencies, then don’t wait until you feel excruciating pain. Instead, save yourself the hurt and resolve the problem as soon as possible. Dr Arthur A. Kezian is a well known dentist who can do just that – resolve the problem.

Below are some treatments that are covered by an emergency dentist.

Root Canal Pain:

  • A tooth’s nerve can become infected or irritated due to a deep cavity, a very big filling, a fracture within the tooth, or a traumatic injury.
  • If you feel a throbbing, pulsating kind of pain coming from your tooth, then that is one of the common signs that your tooth might need a root canal. Along with severe pain you can also experience a prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, can have a pimple or swelling near the gums, or can have the tooth become discolored. If you see any of these symptoms, it is important to contact your dentist.
  • During a root canal, the nerve and pulp of the tooth are cleaned and drained out to stop decay from accumulating even more. After a tooth has emerged from the gums, the nerves only function is sensory. So, the absence of the nerve will not be harmful to you in any way. On the contrary, it will save you from pain.

Cavities:

  • Certain      types of bacteria can attach to your enamel and start to multiply. These bacteria,      along with the combination of plaque on your teeth and sugars from what      you eat, can turn into a cavity.
  • It is      important to keep up with and maintain your dental check-ups because      cavities don’t always cause pain. Sometimes the pain kicks in when the      cavity is very large and starts affecting the nerve of the tooth. Don’t      let it get to that stage; be preventative and see your dentist routinely to avoid dental emergencies.

Extractions:

  • An emergency dental professional should be very experienced when it comes to extractions. Extractions can be done for a few reasons. One reason can be when tooth decay has harmed so much tooth structure that the tooth can not be restored. One other reason can be a fractured tooth that can not be restored. Another reason can be impacted wisdom teeth, or wisdom teeth that are problematic. Extractions can also be done for orthodontic reasons. Whatever the reason though, an extraction should always be the last option if you have a conservative dentist like Dr. Kezian.
  • After an extraction is complete your dentist and the staff should give you proper post operative instructions to make sure you are at ease when you go home.

If you have any emergencies regarding your teeth, call Dr. Kezian and together you can tackle the problem.
