Emergency Dentist in Escondido

Tooth pain: Don’t wait and hope your tooth pain goes away on its own. Tooth pain can be caused by any number of things, including an infection, fracture, or damaged filling. It’s hard to diagnose for sure until we see you. Give us a call and we’ll help remedy the problem. Jaw pain and TMJ disorder: The temporomandibular joint (also known as the TMJ) acts like a hinge, connecting your jawbone and skull. Sometimes the surrounding muscles get tight or seize up, causing pain and difficulty chewing. TMJ pain can clear up on its own, but chronic or severe pain should be treated by a specialist. Tooth extraction: We do our absolute best to preserve your natural teeth. However, there are circumstances when a tooth needs to come out – and often the sooner the better. Contrary to what popular media may have you believe, tooth extraction is routine and relatively painless. Root canal therapy: Bacteria that infects the interior of teeth can cause multiple long-term problems. Root canal therapy helps clear up and seal teeth, helping to prevent reinfection. While root canals are often thought of as painful, modern treatments couldn’t be further from the truth. Cracked tooth repair: Unfortunately accidents happen, and sometimes teeth will crack due to injury or previously unknown fractures. Quick treatment is essential to shore up teeth and prevent further damage. If you have a cracked or chipped tooth, don’t wait before giving us a call.
