Dental emergencies can happen without warning, and tooth pain always means something deeper needs attention. At The Philadelphia Dentist, Dr. Lee Schriftman and Dr. Javier Ambriz provide same-day emergency dental care in Philadelphia, PA, including root canal therapy when needed.
Our team treats dental emergencies 365 days a year, including weekends and holidays, so you can get help quickly when you need it most.
What Is a Root Canal and When Do You Need One?
A root canal treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth. Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to help save the natural tooth. Often, saving a natural tooth is preferred over extraction because it is less invasive and maintains your natural tooth structure.
You may need emergency care if you have severe tooth discomfort, lingering sensitivity, swelling, or discomfort when biting. Dr. Schriftman and Dr. Ambriz can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the right next step.
What to Expect During Your Same-Day Treatment
When you call The Philadelphia Dentist, our team makes your urgent concern a priority. Our office opens at 7:00 AM seven days a week and offers same-day appointments for emergency dental needs.
If you need a root canal, your dentist will provide gentle treatment and discuss any follow-up treatment, such as a dental crown to protect the treated tooth. The goal is always the health and longevity of your smile. We are here for any questions you have, and if you feel a bit anxious, we offer nitrous oxide at no additional cost to you.
