How Definitive Treatment Is Planned After Emergency Care
The night's treatment halts the problem; the lasting solution is built on it.
What the emergency visit aims at, and what it does not
The priorities in an emergency visit are clear: stop the pain, drain the infection, control bleeding and prevent further damage. After examination and a radiograph, root canal treatment is begun and the pressure inside the tooth released; an abscess is drained; sharp edges on a broken tooth are smoothed and exposed tissue covered. What the visit does not aim at is the long-term restoration. A definitive filling or impression taken while pain and inflammation persist is neither comfortable nor durable, so the night's work is a sound interim stage that leaves clean ground for the permanent one.
The follow-up visit and beyond
The plan follows the diagnosis made in the emergency visit. If root canal treatment has begun, later visits clean and fill the canals; a back tooth is more prone to fracture afterwards, so a crown is usually advised. On a broken front tooth the interim restoration is replaced with a definitive one once the tissue has healed. If a tooth cannot be saved, the plan covers replacing the gap: healing first, then implant, bridge or denture considered according to the mouth, the bone and general health. Appointments can be set around your working pattern — the clinic is open at night and at weekends.
The stages of the plan after an emergency
- Pain and infection brought under control in the emergency visit
- Assessment of the root and surrounding bone with a radiograph
- Completing root canal treatment, or deciding on extraction
- Rebuilding the tooth with a definitive filling or crown
- After extraction, allowing healing and planning the gap
- Addressing the cause behind it: decay, clenching or gum disease
- Setting a recall interval and fitting the appointment to your shifts
