The following are common reasons for an emergency dental visit and what treatment you may receive.
Tooth pain typically occurs when the pulp at the center of your tooth becomes inflamed. Improper oral hygiene can lead to toothaches and contribute to emergency dental concerns, such as:

A root canal procedure can relieve tooth infection, inflammation, and pain and save your natural tooth. Dorri’s Dental has a root canal specialist (endodontist) who ensures your treatment is effective and painless.
A root canal involves taking out decayed material from your tooth, cleaning it, and then giving the tooth a filling to seal the area. You may need a crown to protect the tooth.
The procedure may take one or two visits, depending on the condition of your affected tooth.
