When a situation calls for emergency dental surgery, it is essential to know the potential risks and complications that may occur. Calistoga Dental Group carries out emergency dental surgical procedures if there is severe damage to the teeth or jaws. Dental surgery can be a lifesaving option for patients when an infection cannot be treated with antibiotics. Not everybody requires surgery to eliminate oral problems or teeth replacements. We recommend you call (707) 709-6058 and explain your situation before undergoing any surgical procedure.

Most Common Types of Dental Damage

A general dentist may not have the skills and technology to repair a dental emergency. An endodontist is the best choice to repair the damage in these cases. If you experience any of the following issues, don't hesitate to visit the Calistoga office for emergency treatments.

Chipped Teeth

Chipping a tooth can be caused by biting down on something too hard or due to an injury during a sporting activity. In most cases, simple tooth bonding is enough to solve the problem. However, if severe pain is involved, the chip may have cracked or broken the tooth. So consult an emergency endodontist, or the damage can increase over time and harm the enamel further.

Cracked Tooth

A crack in the tooth is more severe than a chip and can have far-reaching effects if not treated. While it may not be immediately apparent, the issue will worsen and increase discomfort. Sometimes, the damage can spread down to the pulp and even below the tooth root, making it impossible to repair. In these circumstances, an extraction by an endodontist may be necessary. Therefore, early intervention is essential in avoiding any further pain or damage.

Tooth Infection

Dentists can usually take care of minor contamination with a deep cleaning. However, significant infections may necessitate the services of a specialist. If a root is contaminated, an endodontist must perform a root canal to treat the patient. Unfortunately, the pain can intensify quickly once the infection has reached its later stages. That's why an emergency endodontist must remove the affected area immediately. Through timely and expert intervention, it increases one's prospects of keeping their natural tooth rather than having to extract it all together.
