A severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling near a tooth can all point to one thing—an infection inside your tooth. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, the only way to save the tooth may be with a root canal. At Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we perform same-day root canals to relieve pain, stop the infection, and preserve your natural tooth—often in just one visit.

Despite their reputation, modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Using digital X-rays and advanced tools, we precisely target the infected area, remove the damaged pulp, clean and seal the canals, and restore the tooth with a temporary or permanent filling or crown.

Delaying treatment can allow the infection to spread, potentially resulting in tooth loss or systemic complications. That’s why we act fast to assess your condition and begin treatment the same day when possible. We offer sedation options to keep you calm, and our caring team is here to answer every question.

Don’t suffer through tooth pain—book an appointment now for emergency root canal treatment in Chicago. The sooner we treat it, the better your chance of saving the tooth.

Benefits

The Benefits of Emergency Root Canals

Fast Pain Relief

Root canals remove the source of your tooth pain—infected pulp—providing almost immediate relief.

Saves Your Natural Tooth

With timely treatment, we can often preserve your tooth instead of resorting to extraction.

Prevents Spread of Infection

Left untreated, a tooth infection can spread to your jaw or bloodstream. A root canal stops the infection at its source.

Restores Normal Function

Once treated and restored, your tooth will feel and function like normal—no more chewing discomfort or temperature sensitivity.

FAQs

FAQs About Emergency Root Canals

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Is a root canal painful?

No. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is generally painless and much more comfortable than dealing with an infected tooth.

How long does the procedure take?

Most root canals take about 60–90 minutes. Some cases may need a second appointment for restoration with a crown.

Do I need a crown after a root canal?

In many cases, yes. A crown protects the weakened tooth and restores full function, especially for back teeth that handle chewing forces.
