Emergency Root Canal

Are you looking for an emergency Root Canal in Los Angeles? When you have a dental emergency in Los Angeles, you want to find a professional, caring dentist who can help you right away. There is no pain quite like that of a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, or an infected tooth. Smile Angels of Beverly Hills is the emergency dentist in Los Angeles that you want to contact when you need the best professional emergency dental care. Smile Angels emergency dentistry services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are even open on New Year’s Eve. We accept emergency dental visits and provide the highest quality services to help quickly eliminate your pain. We offer emergency services for most dental issues, including :

Split, Chipped, or Broken Tooth

A split tooth has two separate, pointed halves of the tooth that has been damaged. This type of injury may require the assistance of a dentist who specializes in root canals. Since this injury is so severe and the pain so intense, the tooth is generally removed and an emergency root canal performed.

A chipped tooth is not always considered to be a dental emergency. However, if you also experience severe pain from exposed nerves – which also presents the risk of infection – then it qualifies as an emergency dental situation and should get urgent dental care right away. The same applies to broken teeth.

Abscessed Tooth

Abscessed tooth is when the cracked, chipped, or broken tooth or a tooth with a severe cavity becomes infected down to its roots. It can cause extreme pain, but that isn’t the worst of it. This condition is also extremely serious because if left untreated, the infection can make its way into your bloodstream (a condition called sepsis) or your brain. Both of these conditions can be fatal.

Avulsed Tooth

This is a tooth that has experienced a traumatic event which has caused it to become dislodged from where it should naturally be. Avulsed teeth are most frequently caused by sports injuries or car accidents. It is even possible to cause this type of damage by unintentionally biting down on a hard object. Dr. Vafa can save an avulsed tooth, only if you seek  emergency dental care quickly.

Root Canal

When a tooth becomes broken off, exposing the soft, sponge-like interior part of the tooth, pulp, an infection can set in fast. An emergency root canal is necessary to prevent further infection or other issues.

Emergency root canal may also be necessary if you get a tooth knocked out of your mouth in a blunt force manner. This is another situation in which infection can set in quickly, so it is considered a dental emergency. If you need emergency root canal, Dr. Vafa will make every effort to save the tooth as well as preserve the condition and health of the surrounding gums. A root canal will remove the pulp and the nerves from the inside of the tooth, and the inner area of the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned. Then, Dr. Vafa will securely seal the tooth in order to keep bacteria out and prevent further infection.

Dealing With An Emergency Root Canal in Los Angeles

When an emergency arises that requires immediate dental care, remain calm and keep the following tips in mind:

Reduce the pain and swelling of an abscessed tooth by first rinsing out your mouth with plain warm – not hot – water, then placing an ice pack on your jaw or cheek area to reduce swelling. It is still important that you get treatment right away to avoid the infection spreading, creating a potentially deadly situation.
It is a good idea do you have a copy of your dental records on hand so that you can bring them with you if you need to make an emergency dental visit. Knowing your dental history can be very helpful and can save valuable time in an emergency situation. This is especially important if the person in need of care is a child.

At Smile Angels of Beverly Hills we can save an avulsed tooth by placing the tooth back into its socket or by placing it in a small carton or container of white milk and going directly to an emergency dentist. Ideally, you should get treatment within 30 minutes of the injury for the best chance of saving your tooth.

Smile Angels of Beverly Hills provides comprehensive emergency dental care for both adults and children.
