If we had a damage or injury in teeth then we should immediately contact emergency dentists before it caused any other issues. Whenever the teeth are damaged due to injury or decay, the blood going to the tooth pulp may be restricted, possibly resulting to an infection. This infection could then lead to abscess of the tooth and can be quite painful.

If the infection remained untreated, it could spread and damage the tooth’s root canal. In most cases, extraction of the infected tooth is done. The extraction procedure is called a root canal treatment, under the endodontics field of dentistry. Emergency dentist who will perform the procedure should be skilled and experienced. There are instances when a procedure did not go as planned and resulted to a failed root canal. The tooth’s condition, in this case, is worsened and a root canal re-treatment is advised. Our resident endodontist will have to be called upon to perform the re-treatment. They are dentists who specialize in endodontic treatments.
