What Is an Endodontist?
An endodontist is a dental professional with advanced or specialized training for inner tooth issues. In particular, an endodontist can address dental problems related to the pulp and nerves inside your teeth.
Endodontists commonly perform complex dental procedures and treatments, including root canals, apicoectomies, evaluations, and assessments. In most emergencies, an endodontist will treat diseased pulp inside the patient’s tooth.
Generally, the pulp is entirely or partially removed to save the remainder of the natural tooth. Pulp treatments are typically followed by a root canal, and this combination can help mitigate the need to extract a tooth.
When Should You Visit an Emergency Endodontist? What Qualifies as a Dental Emergency?
We encourage you to move quickly if you are considering visiting an emergency endodontist because of a perceived dental emergency. Whenever necessary, you should contact emergency services for an ambulance or request transportation support from friends or family.
The following symptoms may indicate it is necessary to visit an emergency endodontist, such as one from Burien Endodontics:
- Severe toothache
- An abscessed tooth, or a tooth with a pocket of pus or bacterial infection
- Gums, bone, or tooth roots with an abscess
- Injuries to teeth, including broken and bleeding teeth
- Serious gum infections
- Cracked teeth
- Dislodged dental restorations
- Severe dental pain
- Heavy bleeding in the mouth, including the gums
- Other signs of oral infection or trauma
In most cases, it is better to be safe than sorry. We encourage you to visit an emergency endodontist to save your natural tooth and avoid procedures related to extraction or replacement. We can provide valuable support in a moment of need, recommend the next steps if additional treatment is necessary, prescribe medication, and provide additional help.
Please reach out to Burien Endodontics if you have any questions related to emergency dental care, as long as contacting us does not delay any necessary treatment or procedures. Some emergencies require seeing an endodontist within 30 minutes.
