​
Root Canal / Endodontics
​
An endodontic treatment saves a severely injured, cracked, or decayed tooth when its pulp (the soft inner tissue inside a tooth's root canal) becomes inflamed or infected. If it is not treated promptly, pain or a tooth abscess (infection) results. Endodontic treatment is also known as a "root canal."
​
Root canal treatment is completed in one or two office visits, depending on the presence of infection and the required treatment plan. After restoration, the tooth continues to function like any other tooth. With good oral hygiene, the restored tooth has the potential to last a lifetime.
​
Wisdom Teeth / Oral Surgery
​
Third molars, also called wisdom teeth, are the last set of permanent teeth to erupt in a person's mouth. Often, they do not erupt properly or with sufficient space to be functional. Therefore, it may be recommended to have them removed. While the removal of wisdom teeth is the most well-known type of oral surgery, there are many reasons why oral surgery may be required. In order to determine if this is necessary for you or your child, a consultation is recommended to discuss your options.
​
Hygiene
​
Routine dental checkups are vital to good oral hygiene and are the best way to detect problems at their earliest stages. Early detection and treatment saves unnecessary discomfort, time and money.
​
The Academy of General Dentistry recommends checkups twice a year. Oral hygiene needs change with age and the condition of your teeth and gums. Your dentist may recommend a checkup schedule that is more or less frequent than twice a year.
​
In an Emergency
​
Stay calm. Focus on stopping the bleeding and protecting the injured tooth or area by following the appropriate instructions in this section.
​
Never take aspirin or ibuprofen for a dental emergency because they are anticoagulants which can cause excessive bleeding. To alleviate pain, take acetaminophen as directed on the packaging label.
​
Injuries to your teeth and gums can result in infection or other complications -- so make sure you see your Dentist.
​
If your emergency is life-threatening, dial 911 for Emergency Medical Services or go immediately to a hospital emergency room.
