Emergency Root Canal
An urgent root canal procedure performed the same day to eliminate infection and relieve severe tooth pain immediately.
What is it
An urgent root canal procedure performed the same day to remove severely infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth, eliminating the source of pain immediately.
How it works
The tooth is numbed, an opening is made through the crown, and infected pulp tissue is removed from the canals, which are then cleaned, shaped, and sealed to eliminate the infection and relieve pain.
How it helps
Provides fast, lasting relief from severe tooth pain, eliminates the infection at its source, and saves the natural tooth from extraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with severe, unrelenting tooth pain, significant swelling, or signs of deep infection who need same-day treatment to eliminate the source of pain.
What is the typical experience?
The tooth is numbed and the infected pulp is removed the same day. Pain relief is typically dramatic and immediate, with a crown placed at a follow-up visit to fully restore the tooth.
How long does it usually take?
The root canal is completed the same day, typically in one to two hours. A crown is placed at a follow-up visit within a few weeks to fully restore the tooth.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
The tooth should be protected with a crown as soon as possible after the root canal — a tooth without a crown is vulnerable to fracture. Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated side until the permanent crown is in place.
What should I know about recovery after?
