Dr. Glick Saved My Son’s Tooth

“When my son got his tooth knocked out on the soccer field, I panicked. Fortunately another parent was on hand to scoop up the lost tooth and hand me the phone number for Craig Glick DDS. Even though I was not a patient, Craig Glick DDS bent over backwards to accommodate us and we were able to drive over to the office and get help right away. Dr. Glick is great with kids and his team helped calm my son down and gave him something for the pain. Then the doctor reimplanted the tooth (which fortunately wasn’t broken). Thanks to this amazing emergency dentist, my son’s tooth was saved and now you can’t even tell which one was knocked out. I was so impressed I actually left my regular Encino dentist and switched to Craig Glick DDS!”

Do You Need an Emergency Root Canal?

Root canals may sound scary, but compared with the alternative of living with excruciating tooth pain, an emergency root canal may end up being a walk in the park. Certainly you will feel very safe in the competent and caring hands of Dr. Glick and his staff during your treatment. An emergency root canal can relieve pain caused by the infected nerves and pulp inside a decayed tooth. The procedure involves removing infected tissue, cleansing the area, and then sealing up the cavity to prevent reinfection. If your tooth is too badly decayed, cracked or infected, a root canal may not save the tooth and you will want to consider tooth extraction.

Find Relief from Pain with Emergency Tooth Extractions

At Craig Glick DDS, we take pride in performing thorough preventative and restorative care designed to help our patients keep their natural teeth well into old age. However, even with regular cleanings and good oral hygiene, sometimes teeth decay, become infected and suddenly cause pain that necessitates a visit to the emergency dentist. Fortunately, when you choose Craig Glick DDS as your emergency dentist in Encino, you can rest assured that we will make every effort to save your tooth. When this is not possible, we can extract the tooth to relieve your pain. After an extraction, our office makes sure to call and check up on you to make sure that you are doing well and not experiencing further pain.

We Restore Chipped or Broken Teeth

If you’ve been in an accident and chipped or broken a tooth, you may need help right away, especially if the nerve is exposed. You may be feeling intense pain and heightened sensitivity to temperature. As an emergency dentist in Encino equally skilled in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Glick can help. Dr. Glick can use composite material to seal off the nerve and protect it. Then Dr. Glick can apply more composite material, layering it on until the chip has been filled in or the broken part of the tooth has been rebuilt. This composite material can then be sanded and shaped to mimic the appearance of your natural tooth.
