Treatment Options for Urgent Dental Problems
Repairing a Damaged Tooth
A damaged tooth does not always need to be removed. Depending on the location and extent of the damage, a filling, bonding, or crown may help restore it. An examination helps determine which option is appropriate.Root Canal Treatment
When the tissue inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment may help save the tooth. Treatment removes the affected tissue and seals the canals, with a restoration used to protect the remaining tooth.

- Examining the affected area. Your dentist may recommend X-rays to help identify the source of the problem.
- Reviewing your options. Ask about the recommended treatment, expected costs, and whether follow-up care is needed.
- Planning the next steps. Depending on the findings, care may involve initial treatment, a scheduled procedure, or a referral to a specialist.
