In a recent blog, we talked about tooth extractions. This type of oral surgery may be necessary if one of your pearly whites has been severely damaged or has the potential to damage your other teeth. In some cases, this procedure can be planned in advance, but occasionally this may be used as an emergency treatment to relieve discomfort and protect your smile. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group is here to talk about other emergency treatment options that can help recover your tooth after an injury or harm.
Repair A Broken Tooth With A Dental Crown
Chipping or cracking a tooth is a fairly common injury that can happen from actions like your teeth being worn down, biting into something too hard, or being struck in the face. When this happens to you, it can cause discomfort, bleeding around the area, and sensitivity. If you experience this type of injury, it’s important that you seek care as soon as possible so the area can be looked at.
Breaking a dental structure can be stressful, but the good news is it can often be fixed with options like dental bonding or a dental crown. With bonding, a small amount of composite resin is added to your tooth to help correct surface level imperfections. Dental crowns may be used for larger breaks to cover the entire area that has been damaged.
Relieve A Tooth Ache With A Root Canal
If you have noticed a toothache that has started suddenly and has last for several hours, it may be due to an injury or serious decay. You should call your dentist right away to schedule an emergency appointment. The team may be able to give you instructions on what to do in the meantime. In some cases, taking an over the counter pain reliever may be able to help relieve some discomfort that you are experiencing.
When you come in for your appointment, the dentist will examine the area and assess what treatments need to be done to help you. A root canal treatment may be recommended if you are experiencing a serious cavity or infection. The damaged pulp can be removed, the area will be cleaned, and a strong material will be added in its place.
