Emergency Dentistry

Due to the volatile nature of dental health, our Lancaster dentist is always available to perform the important work of emergency dentistry. When teeth are injured and abscessed, the pain can be unbearable for our patients. The speed with which the problem is treated can also determine the outcome of the emergency. There are times when seeing a dentist immediately is the only way to save a tooth; there isn’t time to wait until business hours.

Emergency dentists can be difficult to find. It’s for this reason that we recommend establishing our dentist as your emergency dentist from the beginning of your first visit. He’ll be able to be there for you in case of emergencies such as injured teeth or abscesses.

Emergency extractions are sometimes necessary. When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, our Lancaster emergency dentist can evaluate the situation and if it’s determined that your tooth can’t be saved, we can do an emergency extraction to end the pain right away.

You can never know when a dental emergency happens, but you can always trust our emergency dentist in Lancaster to be there to help you.

Lancaster Emergency Dentist

When it’s possible, saving a tooth is always preferable. We offer emergency root canals for patients that need them, and that can benefit from them. Our emergency dentist in Lancaster is highly skilled at performing root canals and will do so whenever it’s possible to save your tooth or teeth. Most emergencies come about because of an injury, however with abscesses; it’s sometimes possible to save the tooth with a root canal. During an emergency root canal, the pulp is cleaned from the tooth, the nerve is deadened, and the bacteria are cleaned from the inside of the tooth so that the infection will go away and there will be no further infection. Often root canals are a two part procedure, so an appointment will be scheduled if another part of the procedure is necessary.

We provide emergency dental services because they are one of the most important portions of all dentistry. Patients never know when they’re going to need a tooth to be saved, and it’s the job of our dentist in Lancaster to be there when an emergency occurs so that your pain can end quickly and the tooth can be restored.
