Severe tooth pain, swelling, or a dental infection can’t wait, and you shouldn’t have to. Surf City Endodontics offers same-day emergency appointments when available, so we can quickly diagnose the problem, relieve your pain, and recommend the right treatment to save your tooth.

As endodontic specialists, we focus on the inside of the tooth, where most dental emergencies begin. With advanced 3D imaging and surgical operating microscopes, we can often find the cause of your pain and begin an emergency root canal the same day.

If you’re searching for an emergency root canal near you in Surf City, Topsail Island, or the surrounding area, call us as early in the day as possible and we’ll find the soonest opening for you.

What to Do Before Your Visit

A few simple steps can help you stay comfortable until we can see you.

Call Us First

Call our office right away so we can find the soonest opening. Describe your symptoms so we can prepare for your visit and advise you on next steps.

Ease the Pain

Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label, and avoid chewing on the painful side. Don’t place aspirin directly on your gums.

Control Swelling

Apply a cold compress to your cheek for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. If a tooth is knocked out, hold it by the top, keep it moist in milk, and call us immediately.

When to Go to the Emergency Room

If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, swelling that spreads to your eye or neck, a high fever, or uncontrolled bleeding, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.

Emergency Dental FAQs

Quick answers for when tooth pain can’t wait.

An endodontic emergency is a problem involving the nerve or root of a tooth that needs prompt care. Examples include severe or throbbing tooth pain, swelling in your face or gums, a dental abscess or infection, a cracked or broken tooth, or a tooth that’s been knocked out or injured. If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

In many cases, yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments when available to diagnose the problem, relieve your discomfort, and determine the best treatment. Call our office as early in the day as possible so we can find the soonest opening for you.

Call our office as soon as possible so we can evaluate the tooth. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the label, use a cold compress on your cheek, and avoid chewing on the painful side. Don’t place aspirin directly on your gums. If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or a high fever, seek emergency medical care right away.

An infected tooth shouldn’t wait. Even if the pain comes and goes, the infection doesn’t heal on its own and can spread to the surrounding bone and tissue. Getting treatment early gives you the best chance of saving the tooth and can help avoid more complex care later. If you think you have a tooth infection, call us to schedule an evaluation.
