What Qualifies as an Emergency Endodontic Situation?
Dental emergencies requiring immediate endodontic care include severe toothache that keeps you awake, sensitivity to hot or cold lasting more than 30 seconds, facial swelling, and pain when biting down. Additional emergency indicators include visible tooth cracks, trauma from sports injuries, and abscessed teeth showing infection signs.
If you experience these symptoms, especially with fever or facial swelling, contact our Seattle emergency endodontic team immediately at (253) 265-4856. Early intervention often means the difference between saving your natural tooth and requiring extraction.
How We Handle Emergency Cases in Seattle
Our emergency protocol prioritizes immediate pain relief while addressing the underlying cause. When you call, we'll schedule you for same-day appointments when possible. Dr. Tomala begins each emergency visit with thorough examination and advanced 3D imaging to identify the exact pain source.
Treatment options include emergency root canal therapy, pulp capping procedures, or temporary pain management. Our Fotona laser technology provides superior disinfection and reduced post-treatment discomfort compared to traditional methods, with most patients experiencing immediate relief.
Same-Day Emergency Root Canal Treatment
Emergency root canal therapy addresses infected or severely inflamed tooth pulp causing intense pain. Dr. Tomala removes damaged pulp tissue, thoroughly cleans the root canal system, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. This 60-90 minute procedure provides immediate relief from severe toothache.
Our laser-enhanced technique ensures complete bacteria elimination and faster healing compared to conventional methods. Most patients report minimal discomfort following treatment, allowing return to normal activities the next day.
| Emergency Symptoms | Likely Cause | Treatment Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Severe, throbbing pain | Infected pulp | Emergency root canal |
| Pain when biting | Cracked tooth | Crack assessment |
| Facial swelling | Abscess | Drainage/antibiotic therapy |
| Temperature sensitivity | Exposed nerve | Pulp capping/root canal |
