Some telltale signs of a tooth infection are:
- Severe and constant pain that keeps you from everyday activities
- Tooth sensitivity to temperature
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Tooth discoloration or darkening
- A white pimple or blister on the gums around the infected tooth
If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, it probably indicates a tooth infection. It's a good idea to contact your team at Sydney Emergency Dentist right away because a tooth infection doesn't resolve on its own.
Instead, it worsens and could cause damage to neighbouring teeth or even travel to more critical parts of your body, like your brain.
How Root Canal Treatment in Neutral Bay, NSW, Protects Your Smile
An infected tooth requires root canal treatment to eliminate the infection and preserve your natural structure.
Once our dentists remove the infected tissues from your tooth, they'll rebuild it in the future with a permanent crown or filling to ensure you have the chewing function you enjoyed before your tooth infection.
At Sydney Emergency Dentist, we offer convenient morning, early evening, and after-hours emergency dental care so you can rely on getting the treatment you need when you need it most.
Don't wait to contact us if you or a loved one is in pain.
