Cracked teeth can be the result of many different causes, and may cause pain while chewing and biting if the tooth is exposed to different temperatures. A Mt. Vernon OH toothache may signify the need for a filling or emergency root canal. If the tooth is cracked, the cracked pieces of the tooth can move and can begin to irritate the pulp inside, which becomes very painful. When bite pressure is released, it may cause sharp pain. This back and forth movement can cause the pulp inside to become permanently damaged, leading to infection and most likely extraction of the tooth. Don’t wait to call about your Mt. Vernon OH toothache. An emergency root canal, or emergency endodontic treatment, is designed to save the tooth from needing extraction so that it doesn’t have to be pulled. Root canals are designed to clean the inside of the tooth and remove the damaged and infected pulp, while saving the entire tooth surrounding it. We first clean and seal the tooth while the patient is under local anesthesia. It is not painful and once completed, a crown is placed over it to protect the area. An emergency root canal may be performed if there is an infection, or abscess, under the tooth’s root or along the gum line.
