Our Treatments
What Are Common Traumatic Tooth Injuries?
The most common traumatic tooth injuries include knocked-out (avulsed) teeth, dislodged (luxated) teeth, or cracked or fractured teeth. Time is of the essence. The sooner you seek treatment, the better the outcomes of your smile.
Why Choose an Endodontist for Your Traumatic Tooth Injury Care and Emergency Pain Management Needs?
Endodontists are specialists who have completed at least two years of advanced training beyond dental school, focusing on diagnosing and treating problems inside the tooth, including the pulp and root canal system. Their rigorous education provides them with the knowledge and skills needed to manage complex traumatic injuries, which often involve damage to internal tooth structures. Endodontists have the expertise needed to manage pain and save damaged teeth, providing the best possible outcomes for your smile.
At Texas Panhandle Endodontics, we offer flexibility in accommodating emergency cases to provide timely care, preventing further complications and restoring your pain-free, functional smile.
What Happens During an Emergency Appointment?
Every emergency visit begins with a thorough exam by our experienced endodontist to uncover the underlying causes of your pain and the extent of tooth damage. Dr. Carrillo may use high-resolution CBCT imaging to visualize the inside of your teeth and reveal hidden infections, root fractures, and other concerns. The images provide us with a wealth of information that we cannot see using traditional X-rays, helping us determine the most effective course of treatment.
After evaluating your unique needs, we take immediate steps to manage your pain and begin treatment, often within the same visit if possible. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment options may include:
- Emergency root canal therapy to eliminate infection and relieve your discomfort
- Repositioning and splinting to stabilize knocked-out or displaced teeth
- Care for tooth root problems using endodontic microsurgical techniques
- Treatment planning for long-term restoration in coordination with your general dentist
- Follow-up imaging and evaluations to monitor healing and avoid future complications
We always take the most conservative approach possible, working to save knocked-out, fractured, displaced, infected, or abscessed teeth while minimizing the need for invasive procedures.
