77346 Dentist
Broken or cracked teeth, dislodged teeth and severe toothache all qualify as dental emergencies. If you think you may have a dental emergency, call our
77346 dentist to schedule an appointment. A dislodged tooth should be put back into the mouth within a few hours. A toothache could be the result of tooth decay, the need for a root canal, or damage to the tooth. Gingivitis can also cause swelling within the gum and cause tooth pain. Our offices are open during business and emergency hours to accommodate all of our patients.
Root canals can be painful, causing the patient much pain and distress. Thankfully, emergency root canal therapy can help save the tooth from needing an extraction, and eliminate any pain the patient is in. A root canal is performed when the inner pulp of a tooth has gotten too decayed. The root canal procedure can be performed to save the tooth and cap it off with a crown to protect it. A root canal, also known as endodontic procedure, is a painless, easy procedure and takes about an hour, on two separate visits. One to clean and seal the tooth, and the other to place the crown over the tooth for final treatment.
A root canal may be needed if the tooth has become damaged by repeated dental procedures, trauma or tooth decay. A toothache can be painful and cause unnecessary swelling, headaches and tension in the jaw. If you are suffering from an extreme toothache, especially swelling and facial puffiness, come in for an appointment with our
77346 dentist to see if a root canal or other restorative procedure is needed. For dental emergencies, don’t wait to call our offices. We are open during hours that are convenient for patients as well as extra hours in case of emergency.
