Same-Day Pain Relief at Great Rivers Dental

There’s a multitude of reasons why you should seek emergency dental treatment. Sudden or chronic tooth pain, trauma from an accident, and a lost filling are all viable conditions that require our same-day dental care. We provide many helpful services for emergency treatment, including the following:

Root Canal Therapy

A crack, decay, or other damage to your tooth can lead to an infection of the soft tissue inside. Let our team remove the damaged or dead tissue and seal your tooth to prevent any further infections from happening. Treating your tooth with root canal therapy as soon as possible is crucial to your welfare. An infection can lead to losing the tooth or developing an abscess.

Extractions

When you have one or more teeth that are past the point of repair, we may decide that extracting them is necessary. Removing a tooth is typically beneficial to the welfare of your overall oral health and comfort, and we won’t perform it unless it’s the surest way to relieve your condition. Our caring team will ensure you stay comfortable during the procedure, and we’ll help you choose a solution for your tooth loss.
