Extractions

A chronic toothache is the most common dental emergency. Severe damage, cracks, decay, or periodontal disease are all factors that can cause a serious toothache and are cause for an emergency extraction. When it’s a recurring problem, sometimes oral surgery is the appropriate solution. If the pain in your tooth is unbearable, contact Maitland Dental Care today. Our emergency dentist will assess the tooth, perform the extraction, and provide advice on how to achieve better oral health in the future.

Root Therapy

Root canal therapy is a treatment to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it.

At Maitland Dental Care, we understand that root canal therapy sounds scary. That’s why we do everything possible to put you at ease while we perform the treatment. Our emergency dentists use the latest dental processes, including rotary endodontics. We can remove the infection from your tooth, fill it with a sealer to try and prevent the infection from returning and do the best we can to retain the tooth.

If you believe you require a root canal treatment, get in touch with our emergency dentists today.

How painful is a tooth extraction?

What is a root canal treatment?

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to remove the infection from the root of a tooth. The infection is typically caused by bacteria that has entered the tooth through a crack or hole in the enamel. Symptoms of an infected root canal include severe tooth pain, as well as gum swelling and sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.
How do I prevent a dental emergency?

There’s no sure-fire way to prevent a dental emergency, especially when engaging in contact sport. However, when it comes to tooth decay and gum disease, the best possible preventative measure you can take is to book a check-up and clean with your dentist and hygienist team every six months.
