Same-Day Emergency Dental Treatments in Norristown, PA
We can handle various types of emergency dental services in our Norristown, PA office, including the following. Many emergencies can be addressed the same day, while some treatments may need a follow-up visit or a referral to a trusted specialist.
Root Canal Therapy
When this happens, root canal therapy is often the best way to relieve the pain and save the tooth. At your emergency visit, we'll diagnose the problem and help relieve your discomfort. Depending on the complexity of your case and scheduling, the root canal itself may be completed at a follow-up appointment or by a trusted specialist we refer you to.
Tooth pain often results from decay that has gone beyond the enamel and dentin into the pulp, where the tooth’s nerves are housed. If root canal treatment is needed, your dentist will focus first on relieving your pain. Depending on the complexity of the case and scheduling, the root canal may be completed at a follow-up visit or by a trusted specialist we refer you to. Until you visit us, you can apply ice to the outside of the jaw to reduce any swelling and take ibuprofen to manage the pain.
Chipped or Broken Teeth Repair
A chipped or broken tooth is an example of a sudden dental emergency that can occur from something as simple as biting into food or being involved in a hard collision. If any pieces fall from your mouth, you can gather them in a bag and bring them to our Norristown, PA office, take ibuprofen to decrease any discomfort. Although we will make every possible effort to salvage your natural tooth, if the damage is too extensive, we may have to consider extracting the tooth entirely.
