Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction

Our emergency dentists always do what we can to save your smile

When you come in for an emergency toothache, your cavity can sometimes be bad enough that your tooth is on a dangerous precipice - can it still be saved? In these tricky situations, our Moreno Valley dentists will perform quick, comprehensive scans and exams to diagnose the severity of your tooth decay and pinpoint exactly which treatment you need: a root canal or a tooth extraction. As soon as the tooth infection reaches the soft, sensitive pulp at the center of your tooth, a root canal will be needed. This procedure removes the bacteria and infected tissues attacking the blood vessels and nerves keeping the tooth alive. While this treatment may seem intense, it is absolutely necessary for saving a badly decayed tooth. Depending on the severity of the cavity, more than one tooth canal may need to be cleared all the way down to the root. Root canals are an emergency

dentist’s last defense against cavities. Once the infection reaches past the root of the tooth, it will begin infecting the surrounding gum and create a pocket of pus called a tooth abscess. After an abscess forms, there is little time left to act before the tooth infection progresses past the point of no return, and the tooth can no longer be saved. If the blood vessels and nerves become too badly damaged, the tooth itself will die. It is only in these extreme cases that our office will perform an emergency tooth extraction. Patients with severe gum disease or impacted wisdom teeth may also need an extraction done in order to keep the rest of their smile healthy and intact. At Gold Coast Dental Moreno Valley, no matter which procedure you need, our emergency dentists will make sure that yours will always be painless and stress-free. To schedule your immediate cavity treatment, call our office at (951) 488-8688.

What do you do if you chip your tooth?

When you have a chipped tooth, it might not always be a dental emergency. For chips that aren’t painful or don’t have sharp edges that can cut your gums or mouth, a simple cosmetic treatment like dental bonding or veneers may be enough to restore your tooth back to full health. Painful or dangerous chipped teeth, however, should be seen by an emergency dentist as soon as possible.
What happens if you leave a cracked tooth untreated?

Leaving a cracked tooth alone can create a lot of complications for your smile. The crack can continue to grow, deepening further and causing serious pain once it reaches the sensitive dental pulp at the center of your tooth. Bacteria and plaque can also enter and infect the tooth, causing cavities and dental abscesses. Eventually, the damage to your tooth may become so severe that it may need to be extracted entirely.
What is the fastest way to stop a toothache at home?

There are a number of ways you can manage your toothache pain at home, including saltwater rinses and ice packs, but the fastest and most effective home remedy is to use over-the-counter pain medications. Stopping the pain doesn’t get rid of the root problem causing it, though. You should come into our Moreno Valley dental office as soon as you can for emergency treatment so that we can take care of your toothache for good.
Can a toothache go away on its own?

Toothaches may come and go, but that doesn’t mean that the dental issue causing it is gone. If you find that your toothache suddenly stops on its own and doesn’t reappear, this isn’t something to celebrate. This may be a sign that a cavity has badly damaged the tooth’s nerves, and your tooth may either be in danger of dying or has already died. If your toothache suddenly disappears, please see our emergency dentists immediately.
How do you stop nerve pain in your tooth?

When you experience severe nerve pain, such as with a cavity, your dentist will most likely recommend that you get a root canal. This procedure removes both the infection and the decayed dental tissue causing your pain and reinforces the outer enamel of your tooth with either a filling or a crown to stop any future decay from hurting your tooth.
What causes gum pain?

Gum pain can be caused by a variety of different reasons: gum disease, canker sores, tobacco use, rough brushing and flossing, periodontal or tooth abscesses, dental trauma and accidents, broken or damaged teeth, or even wearing your dentures for too long. If your gum pain lasts for days or even weeks, you should visit our expert dentists for a thorough diagnosis.
