How to Avoid Tooth Emergencies
While some dental emergencies are caused by trauma or an accident, there are some situations, like a tooth infection, you can take steps to avoid. 
With consistent preventive visits to your Alexandria dentist, your LIFE A.I.D. team can help you avoid painful situations like tooth infections. For example, if Dr. Chin spots early signs of tooth decay during your routine exam, and you are proactive about treating it, we can typically handle it with a simple dental filling. If tooth decay remains undetected or untreated, it moves deeper into the tooth until it reaches the nerve and causes a painful infection.
If a tooth emergency requires more complex treatment, such as a root canal, to eliminate the infection and preserve your tooth, we may book multiple appointments.
