Methods of Treatment
A Specialist in Periodontics manages most of the dental emergencies.After confirming the nature of the emergency, a non surgical or surgical treatment can resolve or control the conditions related to trauma to teeth, broken teeth and pain on biting.
If the tooth cannot be saved and must be extracted, an immediate implant may be recommended and performed during the same treatment session.
Gum abscesses and inflammation of the gum around partially erupted wisdom teeth can be successfully managed with non surgical or surgical periodontal therapy. In some cases, antibiotic prescription may be necessary. This treatment can also alleviate emergencies related to swelling and bleeding.
Finally, in cases of pulpal abscesses, a periodontist can confirm the cause, prescribe palliative care and refer you to a Specialist in Endodontics for root canal therapy shall you choose to keep the tooth.
