At Birmingham Emergency Dental, we provide emergency root canal therapy to relieve pain, eliminate infection, and save your natural teeth—often in a single visit. Whether it’s a front tooth or a molar, our team is equipped to handle complex cases with skill, including molar root canals that many general practices refer out to specialists.
Root canal therapy is recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work. Common signs that may indicate the need for a root canal include:
Ongoing, throbbing pain—especially when biting or applying pressure—may indicate pulp inflammation or infection.
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold beverages may signal nerve damage within the tooth.
Swelling, tenderness, or a visible bump on the gum near the tooth may be caused by an infection at the root.
Our root canal process is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and effective.
Local Anesthesia
We begin by numbing the area to ensure the procedure is completely pain-free.
Access and Pulp Removal
A small opening is created in the tooth to remove infected or dead pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals.
Disinfection and Filling
The canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, then filled with a biocompatible material to seal the space and prevent reinfection.
Restoration
A temporary or permanent filling is placed. In most cases—especially for molars—a crown is recommended to protect the tooth long-term.
Unlike many dental offices that refer molar cases to endodontists, Birmingham Emergency Dental is fully equipped to handle molar endodontic procedures on-site. This means faster care, fewer appointments, and no need to coordinate with multiple providers.
A root canal can preserve your natural tooth, relieve severe pain, and prevent the need for extraction. If you’re experiencing dental discomfort or have been told you may need endodontic treatment, our team is here to help.
Don’t delay care. Contact Birmingham Emergency Dental today for fast, expert treatment that restores your comfort and your smile.
