What Is an Endodontic Emergency?
An endodontic emergency is any urgent condition affecting the pulp or root of a tooth that causes severe pain, swelling, or risk of tooth loss. Common emergencies include:
- Sudden, severe toothache
- Swelling of the gums, face, or jaw
- A cracked or fractured tooth causing pain
- Trauma or injury that dislodges or knocks out a tooth
- Persistent pain after a prior root canal treatment
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, call our office right away for immediate guidance.
Emergency Treatments We Provide
Depending on your situation, Dr. Dapkute may recommend:
- Root canal therapy to remove infection and relieve pain
- Root end therapy or apicoectomy surgery if prior treatments are not enough
- Stabilization of traumatic injuries, such as re-implanting or splinting a displaced tooth
- Pain relief and infection control to protect your overall health
We use advanced tools such as 3D cone beam imaging to quickly diagnose the issue and begin treatment.
Why Timely Treatment Matters
Endodontic emergencies should never be ignored. Delaying care can allow infection to spread, increase pain, and reduce the chances of saving your natural tooth. Seeking treatment right away improves both comfort and long-term outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a toothache be an emergency?
Yes. Severe toothaches are often caused by infection and should be treated right away to prevent complications.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Keep the tooth moist, ideally by placing it back in the socket or in a container of milk. Call us immediately for urgent care.
Do you accept walk-ins for emergencies?
We encourage calling ahead, but we do our best to accommodate urgent cases, often with same-day appointments.
Not always. While many patients are referred by their general dentist, you can also schedule an appointment directly.
