DO I NEED EMERGENCY DENTAL CARE?

It can be nerve-wracking to hear a creak as you bite down on something, see pink in the sink as you brush your teeth, or feel a sudden toothache. However, not every dental problem needs emergency care from a dentist. While you should always have these checked out, some can wait a few days or even a couple of weeks with little long-term issues. But when a dental emergency does appear, seeing an emergency dentist as soon as possible can be the deciding factor that saves your smile. Please call our dental office at 281.849.8858 if you experience any of the following:

  • Excruciating tooth pain
  • Toothache that lasts a day +
  • Excessive bleeding
  • Loose teeth
  • New spaces between teeth
  • Tooth going numb
  • Mouth and jaw swelling
  • Sharp tooth edges, fragments
  • Severely broken tooth
  • Knocked-out tooth
  • Gum pimple (abscess)

ROOT CANAL OR TOOTH EXTRACTION?

Trust our emergency care team to ensure your root canal or tooth removal goes smoothly and painlessly.

While some are relatively minor, severe tooth decay and broken and cracked teeth can put your tooth’s life in danger. Once the damage reaches the root and gums, your emergency dentist may have only two options: root canal or tooth extraction.

ROOT CANAL

Root canals are a dentist’s last defense against cavities and dental trauma, and they can often save a tooth from the brink of death. Once the tooth’s pulp is reached, its blood vessels and nerves (which it relies on to stay healthy and alive) are hurt and destroyed. As long as there is enough healthy pulp left, we can use a root canal to remove any infected or damaged tissue and drain any tooth abscess pockets. The tooth is then reinforced with a filling or crown so it can last for decades to come.

TOOTH EXTRACTION

If too much of the pulp is damaged or destroyed, not even a root canal can save your tooth. In these worst-case scenarios, your tooth must be removed. We only perform dental extractions when there are no other options. If the tooth is still fully emerged from the gum, the procedure itself is simple and can take as little as 15 minutes. Using a dental elevator, the tooth is gently loosened before it is freed from the jaw with forceps.

If you need immediate toothache relief, give our dental office a call at 281.849.8858! Whether you need a root canal or extraction, our incredible emergency team is at your service.

GUM DISEASE:
THE HIDDEN DENTAL EMERGENCY

Count on the Dentist Tree team to help you get your smile back in shape in a dental emergency!

If you have gum disease, don’t wait a moment to see our caring emergency dentists!

Plaque and bacteria don’t just cause the occasional cavity or two. They can slip below the gums and infect the soft tissues, too. Early gum disease, known as gingivitis, isn’t urgent and causes no more serious harm than red, puffy, and bleeding gums. However, it can quickly advance into periodontitis, which requires serious and professional dental care. Otherwise, the consequences can be severe:

RECEDING GUM LINE

With periodontitis, bacteria attack the soft tissues, causing them to recede and pull away from the teeth as deep gum pockets form. Receding gums cause tooth sensitivity and weaken teeth’s mooring.

LOOSE AND SHIFTING TEETH

Late gum disease also hurts the connective tissues and bone that secure your teeth in the jaw. As they are destroyed, teeth become loose and start drifting out of their correct places.

TOOTH LOSS

At its worst, gum disease can destroy enough of the supportive base anchoring your teeth that they fall out! These teeth may be extracted before this point to control the infection’s spread.

Don’t wait until it’s too late! These worst-case scenarios can be avoided by seeing our emergency team at the first sign of developing gum disease:

DENTAL ABCESS FORMATION

The infected tissues may lead to pockets of pus called abscesses forming between the teeth and gums. Abscesses must be drained by a professional. A burst abscess can spread bacteria and infection throughout the mouth and into your bloodstream.
