What Counts As A Dental Emergency

A dental emergency refers to any oral health issue that causes significant pain and requires immediate attention. They can occur at any time, even if you don’t have existing dental concerns.

Common dental emergencies include:

Severe Toothache

Persistent, throbbing pain in a tooth may result from severe decay, infection, or injury. If left untreated, the pain can disturb your daily routine and may keep you up at night.

Knocked-out Tooth

A high-impact injury, such as during sports or an accident, can cause a tooth to get knocked out of the mouth. If you or your child has a knocked-out tooth, it is crucial to seek urgent care.

Broken or fractured tooth

Your tooth may break or chip due to a dental injury or from biting something hard, exposing its sensitive inner tissues. This requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.

Loose or mobile tooth

Gum disease, trauma, and other factors can cause your teeth to become loose. With prompt care, we can help stabilize the tooth and prevent it from being lost.

Soft-tissue injury

Injuries to the gums or other soft tissues in the mouth can result in bleeding and swelling. Emergency dental care is needed to control bleeding, ensure proper healing, and avoid infection.

Broken or lost restorations

If your dental filling, crown, or other restorations become damaged or loose, you should immediately contact our team for a same-day appointment. Urgent repair or replacement can help save your underlying teeth.

How Our Emergency Dentist Can Help

When you visit our facility for emergency dental care, our first priority is to relieve your pain and discomfort. For this reason, we may use local anesthesia or dental sedation to help you feel at ease.

Our team will quickly assess your oral health to determine the cause of the emergency. We may also take dental X-rays to identify fractures, cavities, or deep infections. Based on these findings, we will recommend the most effective treatment to restore your oral health.

Your treatment plan may include root canal therapy, dental fillings, crowns, tooth extractions, or other procedures. Our skilled and experienced team is committed to providing you and your family with the best care so that you can return to smiling confidently in no time!

Frequently Asked Questions

If your child has a knocked-out tooth, hold it from the crown part and rinse it gently. Place the tooth in warm milk and bring it along to your appointment so our dentist can reimplant it.

Our dentist may use dental sedation or local anesthesia to alleviate pain and make your child feel more relaxed during treatment.

Depending on the cause of the emergency, we will recommend effective treatment options such as dental fillings, incision and drainage, or root canals.
