Emergency Care – Root Canal and Extractions

Active Dental – Your Emergency Dentists

We hope you never experience a dental emergency.

For those who do require urgent dental treatment, we do keep emergency time set aside in our day to accommodate dental emergencies. We will always do our best to deal with your emergency to get you out of pain and help make you more comfortable.

Saving Teeth With Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal (Endodontic) Therapy involves saving an infected tooth from having to be removed.

Root Canal Therapy conserves a tooth that has been damaged by decay, fracture or an abscess. The tooth can then be restored without the need for an extraction. At Active Dental we never want you to lose any teeth and most of our patients don’t want this either. We will always find you the best possible treatment to help you keep your tooth.

Removing Teeth In An Emergency

At Active Dental we believe that a tooth extraction is the last resort.

As an alternative to an extraction we will always recommend Root Canal Therapy if the tooth can be saved, to retain the health, function and comfort of your mouth. Even if you have significant tooth decay, there are numerous restorative treatments that we can recommend, such as porcelain crowns rather than tooth extraction.
