The Most Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can take many different forms, making it difficult to determine which situations require immediate care. You may not even know how to react if you’re caught by surprise! However, no matter the issue that you are facing, we will provide you with the prompt care that you need, so give us a call right away. Here’s a look at a few of the most common dental emergencies that we treat in our Canton office:
Unparalleled Experience & Qualifications
In addition to his general dentistry training from the University of Michigan, Dr. Robison has also completed hundreds of hours of continuing education, many of them at the prestigious Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies and the Las Vegas Institute. This has given him the ability to handle pretty much any dental emergency you can imagine with confidence and expertise! Additionally, his dedication to only using the most advanced technology enables him to provide patients with the fast and precise care they need so they can get back to their regular lives as fast as possible.
Understanding the Cost of Treating a Dental Emergency
You should know that when it comes to emergency dentistry, there is no “set cost” for receiving treatment. It will always depend on the nature of your emergency, period. That said, it’s always going to be cheaper to seek emergency dental treatment sooner rather than later – dental problems don’t disappear on their own, and they will become more difficult and expensive to treat as time goes on. If you’re unsure about what you’ll pay for emergency treatment here at our Canton office, don’t panic; our team is happy to walk you through every detail and ensure you’re able to afford the necessary care your smile needs.
Preventing Dental Emergencies
It is estimated that one in six Americans will have a dental emergency this year. However, prevention is the name of the game; you can help to reduce your risk for one by maintaining your home oral hygiene habits and regular appointments for a cleaning and checkup. If you participate in sports, it is best to wear an athletic mouthguard to protect your teeth and gums from impact or trauma to your face.
Root Canal Treatment
If bacteria are able to reach the innermost layer of a tooth (called the dental pulp), then it can easily become infected. This usually causes quite a toothache, because the pulp includes the delicate nerve of the tooth! Using a procedure often simply referred to as a root canal, we can stop this kind of pain and save the tooth from extraction. Dr. Robison will simply remove the pulp, clean and sanitize the tooth, and then rebuild it using a restoration. Thanks to modern-day techniques, this often-feared procedure is now no more painful than getting a small filling!

Tooth Extractions
While our main goal is to help our patients preserve their natural teeth for as long as possible, in some situations, simply removing a tooth is the best option for the sake of your whole smile. We may recommend an extraction if:
- A tooth has a cavity that can’t be repaired with a filling or crown.
- A tooth is too damaged to be put back together.
- Advanced periodontal disease has deteriorated the bone supporting a tooth.
Dr. Robison always uses a gentle touch, plenty of local anesthetic, and even dental sedation if requested to ensure the comfort of his extraction patients.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions
By far, the most commonly extracted teeth are the wisdom teeth, which are a third set of back molars that tend to come in around the late teens or early twenties. Most people simply don’t have enough room in their mouth for these teeth, leading them to cause pain, crowding, and even an infection as they struggle to erupt. Thankfully, we can prevent and correct these kinds of problems with wisdom tooth extraction right here at Robison Dental Group.
