What Are The Most Common Dental Emergencies We Treat?
Broken or chipped teeth
The most common emergencies we treat include broken or chipped teeth and
toothaches. Both of these conditions require prompt treatment to avoid
experiencing more extensive damage to your smile. An accident can cause
a tooth to chip or dislodge from the gum line, causing soft tissue
damage and bleeding that must be addressed as soon as possible to
prevent infection. If you experience injury to your mouth or teeth, seek
emergency dental care immediately. We will examine your smile to
determine the extent of the damage and create a personalized treatment
plan to address your dental health needs.
Tooth pain
Another common reason for seeking emergency dental care is severe tooth
pain. Toothaches can be a result of tooth decay and cavities that needs
immediate attention to prevent further damage to your oral health. By
scheduling an appointment at our practice as quickly as possible, we can
restore the health of your smile and help you avoid the complications
associated with advanced decay. If left untreated, a tooth infection can
lead to tooth loss. If you are experiencing severe pain in your teeth or
gums, contact us to schedule an appointment right away. We are
experienced in treating all types of oral health issues and will work
with you to restore the function of your smile.
Knocked-out or broken teeth
We also treat cases of knocked out or broken teeth. A knocked-out tooth
requires immediate treatment to preserve the health and integrity of
your smile. After an accident, it is important to rinse the tooth with
warm water to remove any dirt or other debris from the surface. Do not
attempt to scrub the tooth, as this can cause damage to its delicate
exterior. If possible, replace the tooth in its original socket while
you seek emergency dental treatment. If not possible, store the tooth in
a container filled with milk, saline solution, or even saliva and keep
it in the solution until you arrive at our office for treatment. It is
important that you do not touch the roots of the tooth, as doing so can
damage the root and prevent it from reattaching to your tooth socket.
Signs of infection
If you have swelling in your mouth, fever, persistent bleeding, or other
symptoms of oral infections, including gum disease, call our office for
treatment. Infections can spread quickly to other areas of the body if
they are left untreated. We will assess the severity of the infection
and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
Trauma to the mouth
Accidents happen, and if you've experienced trauma to your mouth, be
sure to visit the dentist as soon as possible. We can assess the damage
and determine the best course of treatment to help restore your smile to
its natural beauty.
