Routine periodontal care helps:
✔ Detect gum disease early
✔ Reduce inflammation and bleeding
✔ Prevent gum recession and bone loss

01/14/2026

Gingival (gum) recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. When left untreated, this condition can lead to tooth sensitivity, infection, gum pain, and eventual tooth loss.

🦷 Seek Emergency Periodontal Care If You Notice:
• Gums pulling away from the teeth
• Increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
• Exposed tooth roots
• Gum inflammation or bleeding
• Pain or discomfort along the gum line
• Changes in the appearance of your smile

🦷 How Emergency Periodontal Treatment Helps
Emergency periodontal care focuses on protecting exposed tooth roots, controlling infection, reducing sensitivity, and preventing further gum and bone loss.

Early treatment is essential to stabilize the gums and preserve long-term oral health.

01/14/2026

A cracked tooth is more than just a cosmetic issue—it’s a dental emergency. Even small cracks can expose the tooth nerve, causing sharp pain, sensitivity, swelling, or infection if left untreated.

If you’re experiencing pain when biting, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort without a visible cavity, you may have a cracked tooth that needs urgent endodontic care.

🦷 How Endodontic Treatment Helps
When a crack reaches the tooth nerve, emergency treatment—often a root canal procedure—can relieve pain, remove infection, protect the remaining tooth structure, and help save your natural tooth.

Early diagnosis is critical. Prompt treatment can prevent the crack from worsening and reduce the risk of tooth loss.

⏱️ Same-day emergency care may be available.

01/13/2026

When tooth damage, decay, or gum overgrowth prevents proper treatment, emergency crown lengthening may be necessary to protect your oral health and relieve discomfort.

Crown lengthening is a periodontal procedure that carefully reshapes the gum and supporting bone to expose more of the tooth—allowing proper restoration and reducing the risk of further complications.

🦷 You May Need Emergency Crown Lengthening If You Have:
• Severe decay or damage below the gum line
• Broken or fractured teeth requiring restoration
• Pain or inflammation caused by excess gum tissue
• Difficulty placing a crown or restoration
• Infection or gum irritation around a damaged tooth

🦷 How Emergency Crown Lengthening Helps
This procedure helps eliminate infection, reduce inflammation, and create a healthy foundation for restorative treatment—often preventing the need for extraction.

01/13/2026

Severe tooth pain, swelling, or injury can signal a dental emergency involving the tooth nerve. Prompt endodontic care can relieve pain, treat infection, and help save your natural tooth.

🦷 Emergency Endodontic Services We Provide:

✔️ Root Canal Treatment
Relieves severe tooth pain and removes infection deep inside the tooth to preserve your natural smile.

✔️ Cracked Teeth
Even small cracks can expose the tooth nerve. Early treatment can prevent infection and avoid tooth loss.

✔️ Apicoectomy
When infection persists after a root canal, this minor surgical procedure removes the infected root tip to save the tooth.

✔️ Traumatic Dental Injury
Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can damage the tooth nerve—even if the tooth looks intact. Immediate evaluation is critical.

🦷 Why Emergency Endodontic Care Matters
Early treatment helps stop infection, relieve pain, and prevent further complications or extraction.

⏱️ Same-day emergency evaluations may be available.
