A toothache, according to your emergency dentist in Arlington, WA, is definitely a dental emergency. Contact Dr. Kim Andrews at the first signs of pain or increasing tooth sensitivity.
Toothaches can mean large cavities or root infections. A deep cavity requires treatment and a tooth-colored filling. A root infection means root canal therapy and usually a dental crown. Both treatments save your tooth and relieve your pain.

Treating Your Dental Emergency Near Smokey Point, WA
We start your appointment with an assessment to diagnose your condition. Then we treat the problem quickly to eliminate your pain, save your tooth, and restore your oral health.
If you have a large cavity causing tooth sensitivity, we numb the treatment area, clear away the decay and fill your tooth with a cosmetic filling.
For root infections (or cavities that have spread to the root), we numb the area and remove the deep decay or infection from the canal of your tooth. We then close it off with a temporary filling. Later, we top it with a dental crown.
If you have a broken tooth, including a tooth that has been knocked out, we may be able to restore or reset the tooth. For one that has been knocked out completely, we recommend keeping it moist in a cup of water until your appointment.
