Severe Tooth Pain & Sensitivity

Severe or throbbing tooth pain is often a sign of infection, deep decay, or a cracked tooth. We carefully examine the area, take X-rays if needed, and provide fast relief while treating the underlying cause.

Root Canal Therapy

If a tooth becomes infected or the nerve is damaged, a root canal can save it. We gently remove the infection, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it to prevent future issues — all while relieving pain quickly and comfortably.

Broken or Cracked Tooth

A cracked or broken tooth requires prompt care to prevent further damage. Depending on the severity, we may restore it with a filling, bonding, or crown. Bring any broken pieces with you if possible.

Swollen cheek caused by dental abscess or severe tooth infection.

Swelling & Dental Abscess

Swelling in your face or gums, or a pimple-like bump, may indicate a dental abscess. This infection needs urgent treatment. We can drain the area, prescribe medication if necessary, and treat the affected tooth to protect your health.

Bleeding or Injured Gums

If your gums are bleeding heavily after an injury, you may have gum trauma, a damaged tooth, or a hidden infection. We’ll assess the area, stop the bleeding, and recommend the right treatment to keep your smile safe.

Emergency Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, an extraction may be the safest option. We keep you comfortable throughout the procedure and guide you through replacement options like implants or bridges once the area has healed.
