Root Canal Emergencies We Treat​

Here are the most frequently treated instances:

1. Severe Toothache with Swelling

Your cheek is swollen, your tooth seems to be pulsing, and no over-the-counter pain reliever works to alleviate it. Signs of irritation could signal a severe infection or abscess, which, if ignored, could quickly lead to more serious consequences, such as hospitalization.

An emergency root canal in Houston can quickly remove infection and reliably ease pain. We should say something about offering same day appointments and booking online immediately

Are you hoping it will just dissolve by itself? Don’t wait another second – call us right away for solutions.

2. Cracked or Broken Tooth Exposing Nerves Problem

Have you had an injury that caused one or more teeth to crack or break, leading to sudden pain when drinking cold water or breathing air?

Cracked teeth expose their inner nerves, creating extreme sensitivity and infection risk. Without immediate care, fractures could spread further and be irreparable, potentially leaving only an irreparable hole behind.

Our emergency dentists can assess the damage and perform a root canal to protect nerves and prevent further decay. In many cases, cracked teeth can be saved with early treatment.

Don’t wait for your discomfort to worsen – schedule an appointment now before it’s too late!

3. Decay That Has Reached the Tooth Pulp

You may not always experience intense discomfort when dental decay penetrates deep into a tooth’s nerve, yet when this occurs, an infection could already be well underway.

Once decay has penetrated the pulp, fillings or crowns alone may no longer suffice; neglect can result in severe infections, bone loss, and possible tooth extraction.

We specialize in identifying early symptoms of nerve infection and offering same-day root canal treatments to salvage your tooth before it’s too late.

Contact our oral health provider immediately — better safe than sorry!

4. Failed Fillings or Crowns

Do failed fillings or crowns cause discomfort under an old filling or crown? Has one come loose or even fallen off completely?

When fillings or crowns fail, bacteria may enter the tooth again and cause further infection despite having already been treated. That puts you back in the dental chair, with potentially worse consequences this time.

Our Houston root canal dentists specialize in quickly diagnosing failed restorations and treating any hidden infections underneath them. They then seal and protect your tooth for long-term protection.
