Emergency Root Canal Treatment in Lawndale, CA

When severe tooth pain strikes unexpectedly, an emergency root canal can be the solution to save your natural tooth and relieve discomfort quickly. At Lawndale Dental Group, we understand how urgent dental pain can disrupt your daily life. Our experienced team provides prompt, compassionate emergency root canal treatment to diagnose and treat infected or damaged teeth before the problem worsens. Using advanced technology and gentle techniques, we aim to preserve your tooth structure while eliminating infection and pain so that you can return to your routine with a healthy, pain-free smile.

What Is an Emergency Root Canal?

An emergency root canal is a dental procedure performed urgently when the pulp—the innermost tissue inside the tooth—becomes infected or severely inflamed. This infection often results from deep decay, trauma, cracks, or repeated dental procedures. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. Emergency intervention is critical to relieve intense pain and avoid tooth loss or spreading infection.

Signs You Need an Emergency Root Canal

Recognizing when to seek immediate care can save your tooth. Common signs include:

Intense, persistent toothache that worsens over time
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums or face
Darkening or discoloration of the affected tooth
Presence of an abscess or pimple-like bump on the gums
Pain when chewing or touching the tooth

If you experience these symptoms, contact Lawndale Dental Group for a same-day emergency evaluation.

Emergency Root Canal Procedure at Lawndale Dental Group

Comprehensive Diagnosis and Examination: Our dentist will thoroughly evaluate your tooth and surrounding tissues at your emergency visit. We use high-resolution digital X-rays to examine the root canals and check for signs of infection, abscess, or bone loss. This allows us to accurately diagnose the extent of the problem and plan the most effective treatment.
Effective Local Anesthesia: We administer a local anesthetic that numbs the affected area completely to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. If you experience dental anxiety, we can discuss sedation options to help you relax and have a stress-free experience.

Access Opening and Pulp Removal: Once numb, the dentist creates a small opening in the crown (top) of the tooth to reach the infected or inflamed pulp inside the root canals. The diseased pulp tissue is carefully removed using specialized instruments to eliminate bacteria and infected material, causing pain and swelling.
Cleaning, Shaping, and Disinfection of Canals: After removing the pulp, the root canals are meticulously cleaned and shaped with tiny files to remove any remaining debris. We then irrigate the canals with antimicrobial solutions to disinfect the inside thoroughly and prevent future infection.
Temporary Sealing of the Tooth: After cleaning, the canals are dried and sealed with a temporary filling material to protect the tooth between visits. This helps prevent contaminants from entering the canals and allows your tooth to begin healing.
Permanent Restoration: Within 1 to 2 weeks, you will return for a follow-up appointment, during which we will place a permanent restoration, usually a custom-made dental crown. This crown restores the tooth’s strength, protects it from fracture, and restores normal function and appearance.

Why Prompt Treatment Matters?

Delaying treatment can worsen infection, abscess formation, and even tooth loss. Emergency root canal therapy relieves pain and preserves your natural tooth, maintaining your bite and smile aesthetics.

This was the experience I have had with tooth extraction. I have been to many dentist and two oral surgeon and Dr Barooty was patient, nice and helped me to remain calm. His hands were so gentle. I wish I knew about this doctor before now. The staff is also nice and accommodating.
