The First Step to Relief During a Dental Emergency

The first step is understanding exactly what's going on. Our team will perform an in-office exam and take dental X-rays as needed to guide treatment and prevent the issue from worsening. If there's an active infection, we may prescribe antibiotics to reduce inflammation and support healing. Depending on what we find, treatment might involve a root canal to save an infected tooth or, when a tooth can't be saved, a tooth extraction.
