What Are the Most Common Dental Emergencies?

In this video, Dr. Robert Ellis shares the most common dental emergencies he treats and the procedures typically used to resolve them.

The most common dental emergencies we see are infected teeth, usually caused by deep decay or a fracture that exposes the nerve. These are typically treated with either a root canal or an extraction. Broken teeth are another common emergency and often require the same type of treatment if the nerve is exposed.

If you or someone you love is experiencing a dental emergency, contact Dr. Robert Ellis in Rigby, ID, today to receive immediate care. We prioritize relieving pain and improving your oral health so you can get back to living your life.
