Bacteria from untreated cavities or injuries can infiltrate deep within the tooth, where they can spread and cause infections, pain, and tooth loss. Nerve or pulpal debridement refers to removing infected or dead tissue from your tooth’s pulp chamber and providing instant relief. Our team at Birmingham Emergency Dental will:
Caused by bacterial infection, abscesses form when pus accumulates at the root of a tooth, leading to severe pain, swelling, and fever.
Pericoronitis is inflammation around partially erupted teeth, often wisdom teeth, and causes discomfort, inflammation, and difficulty chewing due to trapped food and bacteria.
Accidents or blows to the mouth can fracture your teeth and expose them to bacteria and cavities, usually resulting in infection or pulp death.
Once we identify the location of the infection and inject local anesthesia, we create an access opening in the outer layers of the tooth to reach the pulp chamber. Then, we meticulously remove the damaged tissue and clean the area to make sure you no longer feel pain.
While pulpal debridement removes the source of pain and infection, it’s often temporary. It sets the stage for further treatment, such as root canal therapy or extractions, which fully restores the tooth’s health and functionality in the long term.
