Relieve Pain and Save Your Natural Tooth
Emergency endodontic services focus on treating urgent dental issues that involve the inside of the tooth, particularly the pulp and root canals. Endodontic emergencies often include severe toothaches, dental trauma, swelling, or abscesses that require immediate attention to relieve pain, stop infection, and preserve your natural tooth. The goal is to stabilize the situation and prevent further complications. At ReGen Endodontics, our board-certified endodontists provide timely, expert care using advanced diagnostic tools like CBCT imaging and microscopic techniques. We ensure your experience is as stress-free as possible and support you before, during, and after your emergency visit. Prompt treatment leads to better outcomes.
Signs & Symptoms of Endodontic Emergencies:
- Severe, persistent toothache indicating pulp infection
- Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face due to an abscess
- Cracked or fractured tooth exposing the dental pulp
- Tooth dislodged or knocked out from trauma
- Sudden sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade
- Bleeding or drainage from around a tooth
The Consequence of Delaying Emergency Endodontic Care
Delaying emergency endodontic care can lead to serious complications. What may start as a severe toothache or minor swelling can quickly progress to a widespread infection, tooth loss, or systemic health issues. The longer you wait, the more complex (and costly) the treatment can become. At ReGen Endodontics, we urge you not to ignore signs of pain or trauma. Our board-certified specialists are ready to provide immediate care to preserve your natural tooth.
Common Emergency Endodontic Services
Emergency Consultation and Diagnostics
Every emergency visit begins with a detailed consultation and advanced imaging, often using CBCT scans, to precisely identify the cause of your symptoms. You’ll receive a clear explanation of your condition, immediate pain relief, and a personalized treatment plan.
Root Canal Therapy for Infected Pulp
If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may have an infected or inflamed pulp inside your tooth. During emergency root canal therapy, we completely numb the area, then remove the diseased pulp tissue. Using microscopic instruments and advanced disinfection techniques, we clean and shape the canals before sealing them to save your natural tooth.
Stabilization of a Dislodged or Knocked-Out Tooth
If a tooth has been partially or completely displaced due to trauma, time is critical. You should call us immediately. If possible, we’ll reposition the tooth back into the socket and stabilize it using a splint. The splint, usually made of a flexible wire or composite material, helps hold the tooth in place while the surrounding tissues heal. Later, a root canal may be necessary.
Incision and Drainage of Abscesses
In cases where infection has caused significant swelling or the accumulation of pus, we may need to perform an incision and drainage procedure. After numbing the area, we make a small incision in the gum tissue to release the built-up pus and pressure. This is often combined with antibiotic therapy and further endodontic treatment to address the source of the infection.
Treatment for Fractured Teeth
If your tooth has cracked or fractured, we first assess whether the crack extends into the root. Minor cracks can be treated with a root canal and a protective crown. For deeper fractures, especially those involving the root, a tooth extraction may be necessary. The goal is always to preserve your tooth whenever possible.

Emergency Endodontic Services FAQs
How Do I Know if I Need Emergency Endodontic Care?
If you’re experiencing intense tooth pain, swelling, or have suffered trauma to a tooth, especially if it’s cracked, loose, or knocked out, you likely need immediate attention. These symptoms often indicate internal damage or infection that requires treatment from a specialist.
Can a Root Canal Be Done During an Emergency Visit?
Yes. In many cases, a root canal can be started or even completed during your emergency appointment. Our endodontists will evaluate your tooth using imaging and microscopic tools to determine the extent of the problem. If necessary, we’ll remove the infected tissue, clean the canals, and seal the tooth to relieve your pain and prevent further damage.
What if I Can’t Get to the Office Right Away?
If you can’t come in immediately, call us for specific instructions. We may advise over-the-counter pain relief, cold compresses for swelling, or safe handling of a dislodged tooth. The sooner you’re seen, the better the chance of saving the tooth and avoiding complications.
Will Insurance Cover Emergency Endodontic Care?
Most dental insurance plans include coverage for medically necessary emergency treatments, such as root canals or trauma management. We’ll work with you to understand your benefits and provide upfront information about any out-of-pocket costs.
Can I Go to the ER for a Dental Emergency?
Hospital emergency rooms typically lack dental specialists and the necessary tools to treat endodontic issues. For tooth-related pain or injury, it’s best to contact ReGen Endodontics directly. We can diagnose and treat the source of your discomfort efficiently. We may refer you to emergency room in certain cases.
