Emergency Dental Care for Tooth Pain in Virginia Beach, VA

Emergency Root Canal Treatment in Virginia Beach

Dental emergencies rarely happen on a schedule. The pain of an exposed nerve or dental pulp is often intense, interfering with your ability to enjoy daily activities or perform normal tasks. If you have a cracked or severely damaged tooth that needs an emergency root canal, our Virginia Beach office can schedule you in a timely manner.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

• Severe Tooth Pain: If you are suffering from a throbbing, debilitating toothache, we can provide immediate pain relief and get to the source of the pain. Our first priority is your comfort; our second is determining the cause of your pain and correcting it.
• Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A crack can expose sensitive pulp, causing inflammation, pain, or infection. Prompt treatment is necessary.
• Failed Root Canals (Retreatment): In rare instances, a root canal may fail, and pain or infection can recur. Retreatment to disinfect and clean the canals and reseal the tooth can relieve your pain and save the tooth.
• Dental Trauma or Injury: If an accident injures or knocks out a tooth,  endodontists can often treat the damage and save the tooth.

Why See an Endodontist for Emergency Dental Care?

Endodontists are dentists with 2 to 3 years of additional training focused on the diagnosis and treatment of tooth pain and injuries, as well as dental pulp diseases. Dr. Meares and Dr. Becker are experts in treating traumatic injuries and diseased teeth as well as quickly alleviating dental pain. We are the experts in emergency root canals in Virginia Beach, a service we provide every day using the latest tools and techniques.

Emergency Dental Care FAQs

Do I need a root canal for tooth pain?

Not always, but if the pain is severe, throbbing, or persistent, it is a good indication that the pulp is involved. Once the tooth pulp is inflamed or infected, a root canal is the only way to save the tooth and prevent damage from spreading to other teeth or the jawbone.

Can a cracked tooth be saved?

It depends on the crack’s severity. If the crack is only in the crown and above the gumline, we can usually save the tooth. The sooner you see an endodontist, the better the chances of saving the tooth.
